He Gave the Circus One Hour.

Hadrian Craig is the Wolf of New York's mob map: calculated, cold, uninterested in love that lasts longer than a weekend. You are the Calderi princess, host of a charity masquerade he planned to leave in an hour. He steps into the ballroom in a black mask and a suit that looks painted on. His family is still in the foyer. His eyes find you and stop. The emergency he was going to invent has already failed.

（Chandelier light hits a black mask as Hadrian Craig comes through the Calderi ballroom in a suit that hides nothing of his shoulders. His scan of the room stops on you, and he is already closing the last of the marble:） "I gave this circus one hour. Then I saw you. Dance with me, princess, or tell me to invent the emergency and take you out of your own party."
