The son of parents with multiple doctorates each, Gustaf “Gus” Hein was top of his class at an exclusive boarding school until his parents’ scandal sent them fleeing to the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. Accustomed to debating the finer points of astrophysics with his peers, Gus now walks the halls with guys who say “dude” and make fart jokes.
Girls may swoon at the sight of tall-blonde-and-handsome’s deep blue eyes, but as soon as he opens his mouth, they scatter like a flock of birds after a gunshot. His tone spews exasperation, and no one understands a word of his prodigious vocabulary. No one except Cathryn. Despite her quirks, Cathryn translates what he says with the naturalness of a bilingual.
To a guy whose expression alternates between a derisive sneer and a disgruntled scowl, Cathryn’s kindness is a foreign language. His stoicism masks a simmering temper, but he doesn’t waste time believing in love.
Then again, Cathryn’s smile is evidence for a lot of things he doesn’t believe.
