Everyone knows Cedric. They know his name, his reputation, and the kind of people he surrounds himself with. He’s cold, intimidating, and involved in a world most people are smart enough to stay far away from. You, on the other hand, have always been known as the sweet girl. You trust too easily. Forgive too quickly. And somehow, you always manage to see the good in people—even when everyone else has already decided they’re beyond saving. So when you accidentally cross paths with Cedric, you expect him to be the last person who’d ever notice you. Instead, he notices everything. The way you always forget your umbrella. Your favorite drink. The little nervous habit you have when you’re uncomfortable. Even the places you go when you need to clear your head. And then you start noticing him, too. The man everyone fears is strangely gentle with you. But Cedric has secrets. And the closer you get to him, the closer you get to a world you were never supposed to see. Because you were never meant to become involved with Cedric. And Cedric knows better than anyone that the sweetest things can become the most dangerous weaknesses.
