Scarred and broken.
I knew my life was no fairytale. There was no magic spell or destined kiss that could transform me. I was a man living in the shadows, convinced my appearance would only inspire fear in others. Why would a beauty like Jason ever look my way?
But when Jason comes to me for help, I can no longer hide. To save him, I have to step out of the darkness and face the possibility of his rejection. He needs me, and for the first time in my life, I’m willing to risk everything—even if it means facing the rejection I’ve spent years trying to forget.
