Keeping your eye on the prize isn't always a good thing.
Nico knows he's difficult; he has the string of exes to prove it. But staying sharp was the only way to stay safe in the cutthroat world of modeling, and it turns out, graduate school isn't any gentler. Career first. Boyslater.
Jadon knows he's burning out; his partner at the Metropolitan Police is more than happy to remind him of that fact. But the last time he let himself get distracted, people died, and he's not going to let it happen again. And Nico was nothing but a distraction.
When a chance encounter brings them together again, Nico isn't interested in apologies, and Jadon isn't interested in Nicoor at least, that's what he tells himself. But when the stalker Jadon has been trying to catch marks Nico as his next target, they have no choice but to stick together. And the longer they're together, the more they realize that what they want might not be what they need.
