He wasn’t always exclusively my brother’s closest companion; there was a time when he belonged to me as well. That is until he vanished from our little town just when I needed him the most.
Now, Caden has returned, sporting his self-assured smirk and maddening pet names. I find myself grappling to ignore his presence.
Amidst my ex’s persistent harassment, Caden intervenes, proposing a scheme to rid us of both my ex and Caden’s scheming father. The plan is simple: pretend we are deeply in love.
However, a significant hitch emerges—what I feel for Caden Shaw is anything but fake, even during the times when I believed I despised him. The undeniable truth is that the touch of his lips kindles a flame I can never hope to extinguish.
As these feigned moments evolve into something authentically profound, an unseen observer lurks. Unhappy about Caden’s newfound role in my life, they’re determined to separate us, even if it means burning everything to the ground.
