My virtual assistant of several years, Taylor Mitchell. He keeps my life in perfect order, and I trust him implicitly, which is why I gifted him a lavish weekend at my house on Saint Aurelle Island.

It’s because I’m his coach’s oldest daughter. Not to mention my dad would bludgeon him with his hockey stick if he found out. Which he won’t, because it will never happen.

Strong, fearless, and endlessly captivating, Tynan works for the people who imprisoned me, and I hate him even more because I can't stop staring whenever he shapeshifts.
