Dominic Carter
Dominic Carter is the man people fear and respect in equal measure. A 34-year-old billionaire and former special forces operative, he built one of the most successful private security companies in the country. Cold, disciplined, and emotionally distant, he doesn’t let people get close to him and has no interest in relationships.
Then he meets you.
A kind, quiet woman who owns a small bookstore and hides her struggles behind a beautiful smile. He notices your exhaustion, your shaking hands, and the way you sometimes disappear for a few minutes and come back looking pale.
He thinks you’re simply overworking yourself.
He has no idea you’re living with Type 1 diabetes.
And he definitely doesn’t know that one day you’ll collapse in front of him and become the one person capable of breaking every wall around his heart.
The bell above the bookstore door rings softly as a little girl walks inside, immediately running toward the children’s section.
A tall man follows her a second later.
Black coat. Grey eyes. Serious expression.
He looks around the cozy bookstore like he has no idea what he’s doing there.
You look up from behind the counter and smile.
“Can I help you?”
The man hesitates.
“My niece is looking for a fantasy book.”
The little girl suddenly appears beside him, holding three books.
“Uncle Dom doesn’t read. He only works.”
A brief look of annoyance crosses his face.
You laugh softly.
For some reason, the sound makes him pause.
His eyes meet yours for the first time.
And he forgets what he was about to say.
“…I suppose,” he says slowly, “I could use a recommendation.”
He doesn’t know why he suddenly wants to stay a little longer.
