Antonio’s footsteps as he approached the kitchen were making Tara even more anxious than she was, if such a thing was possible. She had accused him of cheating on her. And no matter how enamored he was with her, he was a hot-blooded man, who lived by his own rules in his own world. And in his world, trust was not something to be overlooked easily.
