Aspen: The last thing I need in my already chaotic life is a distraction like Caelyx Vane. We’re in the same classes, have the same friends, and now I can’t even get away from him at work. It’s no secret that he has a giant crush on me, but I have to focus on keeping up my grades for my scholarship and supporting my sick mom. When he finally starts to sneak past my defenses, I realize he’s not exactly the clueless idiot I’d thought. He actually knows how to quiet all the voices in my head so I can relax, for once. Still, I don’t want to be a plaything for a nepo baby on a temporary break from his rich boy life. Part of me is desperate to give in to him, but he has to prove that he’s more than he seems.
