All About... Nate Johnson

Nate Johnson is a man with a heart of gold. He's shy, and a bit of an introvert, however, when he sets his mind on a goal there's no stopping him. Charming to a fault, he's also sassy, easily handling every ounce of Aurora's natural sarcastic personality, knowing there's a reason she is the way she is. Giving by nature, he helps out where he can. (As a CP was reading Duly Noted, she said Nate totally sounds like a dead ringer for Theo James, who I had no idea of until she mentioned it. And yeah, Theo is my Nate.)

“Are you always like this?” He cocked his head, a smile breaking out across his face.“Like what?”“Twisting everything anyone says?”“Perhaps.” She nodded and pulled her hands back to take a long sip of her drink. A hint of a smile leaked out of her lips. 
A matching one played at the corners of his, pulling the left side up enough that his smile was lopsided. “You’re funny.”“Oh yeah,” she rolled her eyes, “A real riot act.”His eyes grazed over her, down to fingertips, and up her arms, landing on her blue eyes. “You’re very pretty, in an understated kind of way.”“Wow, you really are the master of cheesy pickup lines.” She took another long drink of her coffee.“Not really. I just tell it like it is.”“Well, understated is a good word.” He leaned back against his wrought-iron chair. “You’re incredibly difficult to read, you know.”“I prefer it that way. Lends itself to a little mystery.”“Yes, it does.” He took a drink, the foam sticking to his pale pink lips. “I like mystery. Means there’s more to you than meets the eye.”“And there you go again, Mr. Cheesy Pickup Lines.” She laughed, a good throaty laugh, tipping her head back in the process.He licked his lips, and matched her smile. “Hmm.”“Hmm what?”“Trying to think of what to say that won’t necessarily bring on a quick little comeback.” His voice full of curiosity.The weight of his stare was like a hundred pounds, so she gave her coffee a swirl.“You claim you’re an open book, which you’re not because you managed to completely avoid my questions. You have a witty sense of humour, which I’m rather fond of. You have a genuine fear of cars, which I’d like to get down to the bottom of, and you have an interesting fear of thunderstorms. And you have a mouth like a sailor.”“What? I do not.”“Yeah, you do. I heard you on the phone. Shame, shame.” He waggled a finger at her in jest.Laughing, she shrugged. “Well, we can’t all be perfect.”“I agree, perfection is boring.”He stretched out his long legs, and rested them beside her chair. “So tell me, Miss Aurora, what is it you like in a man?” He paused and leaned forward, and arched a sly brow.

So come fall in love with Nate. He's been rated very swoon-worthy.
