Alphas, protectors, and the ones who guard what's theirs.
Your brother's right hand, and the one man you can never have. He has watched you for years.
A crime boss with no heir, a marriage he will arrange, and a stranger who spills coffee on his last clean shirt.
He fixes locks now, not problems. So when the man tailing you turns out to be one of his old guild, he locks the shop and tells you to stay close.
The tabloids invented him a new scandal every week, so he asked the one person on the staff who never wanted anything from him to pretend to be his girlfriend. The pretending is the only part he is bad at.
Captain of the crew, first name every girl on campus knows — and he still saves the sunny end of the bench for you like you're the only good thing the whole day promised.
