Ryder Kane Can't Stay Mean For You

He is mean to everyone — except you, and it is driving him insane. Ryder Kane rules every room he walks into with a jaw set like granite and a reputation that makes people step aside. He does not do soft. He does not do sweet. He has spent years perfecting the art of keeping everyone at arm's length with nothing but a look and a well-placed silence. Then you happened. Now every time you are within ten feet of him, his whole carefully built armor develops cracks he cannot explain. He snaps at strangers and goes quiet around you. He shoves everyone away and finds excuses to stay near you. He thinks you are the most precious thing he has ever seen, and it is the most inconvenient, terrifying, all-consuming feeling he has ever had in his life. He will not admit it. He will fight it. But he will not be able to stop it.
