Venus, So Close Yet So Far

Summary

Everyone in the city's elite circle knew that the most eligible bachelor in the city loved me like his life depended on it.

To marry me—a woman living with HIV—Michael Dalio deliberately destroyed his own reputation. Night after night, he paraded through clubs, bedding forty-nine women in a row. He even went so far as to force himself on his widowed sister-in-law, whose husband had just died.

Finally, he pushed the Dalio family patriarch into giving in. The old man, holding his tongue in reluctant acceptance, allowed me to enter the family.
