~ Synopsis ~
Walking away from him was easy.
The first time at least.
Then he shows up late one night at Trihn’s ballet company,
and all bets are off. Trihn knows that she should be careful. But when it comes
to Preston Whitehall, she throws all her carefully constructed reasons for not
dating out the window.
He’s cunning, charming, and hot as sin. And he knows
exactly how to use those qualities to get what he wants. Soon, Trihn is dragged
deeper and deeper into his rapidly intensifying whirlwind.
But where a storm is brewing…destruction and devastation
follow.
Find out how Trihn goes from prodigy to party girl in this
sexy full-length prequel to Platinum in the USA Today bestselling
author K.A. Linde's All That Glitters series.

~ Excerpt ~
Trihn sighed and sank back into her seat just as the first
ballerina floated on stage. As she reveled in the performance, Preston ran his
hand up her arm and to her shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. She
glanced over and him and he had this dirty smirk on his face. He wasn’t even
watching the ballet. His eyes were solely trained on her.
She swallowed and stared back at the ballet in front of
her, but her attention was torn. His fingers brushed her long tresses off her
neck. The palm of his hand pushed flat against her skin and up into hair. He
pulled it gently, and as her head dipped backward, her eyes closed of their own
accord.
With his other hand, he laced their fingers together,
bringing her hand to his lips. He tenderly kissed each knuckle before drawing
her thumb gently between his teeth. She inhaled deeply.
He seemed to be enjoying himself as he kneaded the muscles
in her neck. He leaned forward toward her and planted a soft kiss on the
sensitive skin.
“Keep your eyes open. You don’t want to miss a second of
this,” he breathed softly.
Dear God! He was teasing her. This was sweet blissful
torture.
She could hardly concentrate. Keeping up with two things
at once, when one was tempting her with everything she wanted, was harder than
it seemed. She was glad that as the ballet drew to a close that she had seen it
before or else she would have been entirely lost to what was happening much of
the performance.
His touch was captivating, and she found she was a lost
cause when it came to this man. She hadn’t just forgotten the ballet that was
in front of her face; the world had disappeared all around her. In a sea of
people, there was just him.
The curtain dropped unexpectedly, bright lights flooded
the auditorium, and Trihn jolted upright. Preston sat up straight as if he
hadn’t just been working her into a frenzy with the lightest touches imaginable.
The smirk on his face was the only indication that anything was amiss.
As the curtain was raised and the dancers began to take
their bows, Trihn rose on shaky legs to give the ballet that she couldn’t
remember a standing ovation. Preston stood by her side, applauding. They
clapped until everyone left the stage and people started filing out.
She exited into the aisle, and Preston grabbed her hand
again.
“Hey, we’re not done,” he said. The words were suggestive
and were accented by his hand squeezing around her waist.
“Oh?” she managed to get out.
“Come on. I think you’ll like this surprise better.”
“Why is that?” she asked.
“Because I like to finish the things that I start.”
