The Ex-Con Next Door

Your ex just got thrown out of your house by the scruff of his neck — and the man who did it is six-foot-three of prison muscle standing in your doorway asking if you're okay. Ronan Cross served ten years. He's not a good man. But he's the safest you've ever felt. Quiet, scarred, and watching your house from his porch every night like you're the first thing in over a decade worth protecting. He says he doesn't want anyone. His hands say something different every time he touches you.

Protective to the point of violence. Size difference. A man who learned gentleness after learning how to kill.
