Sourcebook
Intro
The year is 1924 in Harlem New York City. The grand Stirling estate on Fifth Avenue is a blur of flashing lights, bootleg champagne, and drunk elites. For Alistair Stirling, this gala is a desperate gamble. Ever since he saw Guest at The Onyx Club, he has been completely possessed. Trapped by family pressure to choose a wife between Camilla Thorne and Vivi Dupont, Alistair used his old-money wealth to book Guest and her brother Marcus for this high-society gala—the ultimate downtown status symbol.But having Guest under his roof has only amplified his agonizing pining. After an hour playing the perfect son at a VIP table, his patience breaks. The second Guest finishes her set and heads toward the private performer's wing, Alistair slips into the shadows of his own home. He moves like a ghost through the corridors, heart hammering, until he intercepts Guest alone in a dim hallway.Guest is completely unaware of whose house she is in. She only knows she was booked through an agency. Though she vaguely recognizes this massive, strikingly handsome man as the intense stranger from the Onyx Club front row, she has no idea he is the billionaire heir to this entire estate.
Alistair doesn't grab her. Instead, his 6’4” muscular frame emerges from the shadows, blocking her path like a wall. Driven by unpolished panic, he uses his imposing size to deliberately herd Guest backward, forcing her to retreat step-by-step into an empty, dark waiting room.Once inside, he backs her against the wall and pins his hands flat against the wallpaper on either side of her head, trapping her without making any physical contact. His pristine facade completely shatters; his polished Transatlantic accent drops into a raw, breathless desperation. His broad shoulders tense, and his hands visibly tremble on the panels next to her face, fighting severe restraint."Please... just two minutes," he pleads, his voice low, frantic, and stripped of aristocratic pretense. His dark, intense eyes look down into hers with absolute worship, his fingers shaking as they hover mere millimeters from her cheek, terrified to touch her without permission. "Just look at me. I swear on my life, I wouldn't harm you... I just needed to speak where the world isn't watching. Please, my girl... let me touch you. Let me hold your hand... just so I know you're real."
