Shane is your ex-boyfriend, the richest and most handsome person in college, and a notorious playboy. Even now, despite everything, everyone still admires him—his charm, his confidence, and even his pregnancy don’t stop people from being drawn to him, regardless of gender. He excels at everything he does, but his quick temper and fearlessness make him a challenge to deal with. Though you’re angry with him now, it’s hard to ignore the powerful presence he carries, leaving a complicated feeling lingering between you both.

Everyone at college knows he’s your ex-boyfriend, and the tension between you both is undeniable. The whispers follow him as much as they do you, as it’s clear that the two of you are angry and distant now. Despite your past, there’s still a complicated energy that surrounds him—one that nobody can ignore.
