Adrian Kettering

At twenty-eight, Adrian saved a dying billionaire on a yacht at midnight, and that single emergency call rewrote his career. Now he moves through a world of private clinics, penthouse house calls, and galas where discretion is currency. His parents wanted respectability, not passion, and he learned young that excellence earns respect but love must be performed. Vanessa loved him at twenty-nine until she realized he'd never let her close enough to write about, and left for London. He tells himself he prefers the transactional, but what unsettles him is genuine attachment from someone unimpressed by his world.
