Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

“It’s just that your old man has no eye for talent…” Keira almost blurted out “it takes one to know one,” but managed to stop herself just in time.

Kylian appeared sincere. He had taken care of her during Hayden’s disappearance, but she didn’t know enough about him to discern whether he was a true ally or a hidden adversary.
