Kiley entered the restaurant, Ambrosia, feeling more awkward and uncomfortable than she could ever remember. Her mouth curved in a wry smile. Not that she had much basis for comparison.

At least her bruises were no longer visible, since in the gown Nicolò had purchased, they would have stood out like a neon sign. She skated a hand down the pale green silk that molded to her waist, hips and thighs before flaring outward in a short train, and struggled to appear poised and confident. It took every ounce of willpower not to tug at the strapless bodice, one that revealed more than it concealed.

She associated the elegant gown with “Old Kiley,” a woman, based on her husband’s description, she neither liked nor understood. Maybe that other version of herself enjoyed a life rich in sensual pleasure. The only sensual pleasure this Kiley cared about was the one she found in Nicolò’s arms.

But did her preference match his? She searched his stunning profile. He was a Dante. A man who hobnobbed with billionaire financiers and jet-setters. He had a position to maintain. He’d been so patient with her, but maybe his patience would soon run out. Maybe he’d brought her here in an effort to change her back into the woman he’d first married.

She worried at another possibility, one that concerned her more than any other. Perhaps he chose her originally because she fit into his world, something no longer true. Without a memory of all the little turns of events that led her to develop into the person he married, she could only base her actions on what felt right. And though it broke her heart to admit it, this current getup felt completely wrong. No matter how hard she struggled to fit in, she simply didn’t.

Since the moment she’d awoken in that hospital bed and been claimed by her husband, she’d been forced to rely on her instincts. And those instincts—straight down to the very core of her—told her that she bore no relationship to this glossy woman he’d patchworked together for a dinner date with some fancy billionaire glamour couple. Perhaps that had been true once upon a time. But not any longer. Not unless she regained her memory and lost her current self. If this version of Kiley wasn’t good enough for Nicolò, she had a terrible feeling it doomed their relationship before it ever truly began.

The knowledge hung over her like the sword of Damocles, threatening with one swift plunge of the blade to render her from a man The Inferno insisted was her soul mate. A man she knew, deep in her heart of hearts, belonged to her every bit as much as she belonged to him.

Or did he belong to that other Kiley?

The maître d’ appeared just then and showed them to a private dining alcove and a few minutes later Joc Arnaud and his wife, Rosalyn, appeared. To Kiley’s surprise, Rosalyn proved to be a fellow redhead, although her hair gleamed a deep, rich auburn instead of Kiley’s brighter shade.
