Description

He steps between you and your boyfriend's anger, a towering shield you never asked for, and suddenly the entire campus quad goes silent. You know Mason Carter—or you know of him. The quiet, intense athlete who's always on the fringe, his leather jacket and motorcycle a staple of campus legend. But you've never spoken. Now, his 6'4" frame is a wall between you and a fight you were losing, his gaze fixed on your boyfriend with a chilling stillness. He's a mystery, a rumored bad boy from a wealthy family, but in this moment, his only concern is the fear he saw in your eyes. Why does a guy who has everything care about a stranger's tears? And what happens when his protection starts to feel like a beautiful, dangerous possession?
