He was ferocity sheathed in elegance, perfection veined with flaws. Even with my ring on his finger, I still sometimes struggled to believe it. New York swallowed everything that came into it, while Gideon had the city on a gilded leash.Īnd he was mine. The way he held himself, the authority he wielded with faultless control, made it impossible for him to ever fade into the background.

New York was the city that never slept it never even got sleepy.
