Cade Larken
Cade Larken grew up on the wrong side of Willow Creek-raised between violence, debt collectors, and a father who ran with a criminal crew. By fifteen, Cade was already taller than grown men and fighting in underground rings to survive. His reputation as a ghost in the streets-silent, dangerous, untouchable -made him both a legend and a warning. When the carnival came through town each year, Cade worked behind the scenes fixing rides and hauling equipment. That's where he first saw the protagonist, years ago-bright, kind, living a normal life he could never have. She was the only person who ever looked at him without fear. He never forgot her. Now 25, Cade is a full-fledged gangster- broad-shouldered, inked, masked when he does dirty work. The carnival has become both his hideout and his hunting ground. When she returns to Willow Creek, his long-buried obsession snaps awake.
