  SPECIAL EXCERPT FROM

  Isa disappeared six years ago, taking Marc’s trust with her. Now that he’s found her again, he won’t let go...

  Read on for a sneak peek at

  CLAIMED

  The first of the Diamond Tycoons duet

  by New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff

  Isabella was somehow even more beautiful than he’d remembered. And probably more treacherous, Marc reminded himself as he fought for control.

  It had been six years since he’d seen her.

  Six years since he’d held her, kissed her, made love to her.

  Six years since he’d kicked her out of his apartment and his life.

  And still, he wanted her.

  It came as something of a shock, considering he’d done his best not to think about her in the ensuing years.

  All it had taken was a glimpse of her gorgeous red hair, her warm brown eyes, from the small window embedded in the classroom door to throw him right back into the seething, tumultuous heat that had characterized so much of their relationship. He hadn’t cared about anything but getting into that room to see if his mind was playing tricks on him.

  Six years ago he had kicked Isa Varin—now, apparently, Isabella Moreno—out of his life in the cruelest manner possible. He didn’t regret making her leave—how could he when she’d betrayed him so completely?—but in the time since, he had regretted how he’d done it. When he’d come to his senses and sent his driver to find her and deliver her things, including her purse and cell phone and some money, she had vanished into thin air. He’d looked for her, but he’d never found her.

  Now he knew why. The very passionate, very beautiful, very bewitching Isa Varin had ceased to exist. In her place was this buttoned-down professor, her voice and face as cool and sharp as any diamond his mines had ever produced. Only the hair—that glorious red hair—was the same. Isabella Moreno wore it in a tight braid down her back instead of in the wild curls favored by his Isa, but he would know the color anywhere.

  Black cherries at midnight.

  Wet garnets shining in the filtered light of a full moon.

  And when her eyes had met his over the heads of her students, he’d felt a punch in his gut—in his groin—that couldn’t be denied. Only Isa had ever made his body react so powerfully.

  One look into her eyes used to bring him to his knees. But those days were long gone. Her betrayal had destroyed any faith he might have had in her. He’d been weak once, had fallen for the innocence she could project with a look, a touch, a whisper.

  He wouldn’t make that mistake again.

  Will Marc have Isa back in his bed, trust be damned?
