Arabella Donovan wasn't just making things up. According to how others in the book described Kieran Kerr, he had been outstanding in every way since childhood.
Mr. Kerr had been very strict with him. But because he was *too* strict and paid little attention to his son's romantic life, Kieran's love life was a blank slate even as he approached thirty.
Between a distant father and a high-pressure mother, Kieran Kerr had no time for relationships. He wasn't even sure what kind of partner he wanted.
As he got older, the years of intense pressure backfired, sparking a delayed rebellious streak. He hopped on the trend of online dating and found himself a "gentle and considerate" girlfriend.
'He thought his girlfriend was timid, charming, and fragile, but in reality, the person on the other end was a hulking man weighing two or three hundred pounds. Standing up, he'd be twice Kieran's size.'
Eloise Donovan: "..." Words failed her.
