He stares hard at my face for a moment, a battle of wills, but I haven’t once backed down to Cillian Donovann since my father died, and I don’t plan on starting now. It’s what keeps us on common ground.
See, Cillian's just too obvious a villain. This is a romance so it could still be him, but he seems more like the decoy. His mum, maybe, or I still think Leo or Mary for the gut punch effect. Ronaldo if going for another obvious villain
