Amor intenso

In my world, love comes with an instruction manual. Marry the right girl. From the right family. With the right last name. I'm Jack Alden, the only son of the Alden dynasty. One of those New York families that have existed since the days when ships were made of wood and fortunes were forged in steel. My mother has spent years trying to find me a "suitable" wife. So, naturally, I fall in love with a woman who couldn't care less about all that. Iris Wilde. I first saw her at the New York City Ballet, weeping in the audience as if the music had ripped her apart. She didn't know who I was. She wasn't acting. She was simply… authentic. One night with her was enough to remind me what it means to truly breathe. And then she disappeared. Months later, I find her again… on a fruit farm in the middle of Colorado, throwing raspberries at me as if she were rehearsing for a food fight. It turns out Iris is smart, stubborn, and not at all impressed by a billionaire with a trust fund and a domineering mother. She makes me laugh. She makes me think. And for the first time in my life, I want something that isn't written in my family's history books. But old money comes with old rules. And loving Iris means breaking them all. They say you can't choose where you come from. Maybe. But you can choose who you fight for. And this time, I choose her. Because when it comes to Iris Wilde, it's not just love. It's intense love.
