Intro. Among these names, there were two that everyone knew: Niccolò Govender and Madison Deveraux.
He, son of a south African dynasty of casinos and obscure conglomerates. Dark eyes, sarcastic smile, the kind of boy who broke any rule just to see if anyone had the courage to stop him. Never had. Niccolò was beautiful, dangerous and absurdly aware of it.
She, the direct heiress of Maison Deveraux, a French brand as old as the aristocracy. Madison was the kind of girl who smoked fine cigarettes on stone balconies while laughing at all. Beautiful, blasé, poisonous when I wanted to. No one understood very well if she loved or hated Niccolò - probably both.
