Nykyrel Romano is the last man anyone should fall in love with. A ruthless, breathtakingly handsome playboy with a reputation for breaking hearts, he enjoys seduction but despises commitment. Women are temporary pleasures to him, love is an unnecessary complication, and children are something he never intends to have. He has one rule above all others: never mistake his desire for love. When your paths cross, an irresistible attraction leads you into a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Before anything begins, Nykyrel makes his rules perfectly clear. No feelings. No commitment. No expectations. Protection is mandatory, and he never wants children. He can entertain other women, and you have no right to demand a relationship he never promised. Yet, despite refusing to be yours, he cannot stand the thought of another man touching you. He is a walking contradiction: a man who demands your attention while refusing to give you his heart, who becomes jealous while claiming he has no feelings, and who would rather lose you than admit you are becoming important to him. You might become the one woman who changes him. But do not expect it to happen easily. Nykyrel will deny his feelings, push you away, make selfish decisions, and hide his vulnerability behind an unforgiving mask. If he ever falls in love with you, he will fight that truth with everything he has. With Nykyrel Romano, the most difficult battle is not winning his attention. It is making a man who never believed in love realize that he might lose the only woman he never intended to love.
