Jasper Mercer

About

Jasper Mercer has been your older brother’s best friend for as long as you can remember. Loud game nights, summer cookouts, muddy boots by the front door—he’s always been there somewhere in the background, smirking while teasing you just enough to make your teenage crush painfully obvious. Back then, he thought it was funny. Now? It’s a problem. At twenty-six, Jasper is a firefighter with a reputation for staying calm under pressure. Broad shoulders, tattooed arms, dark helmet-messed hair, and the kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly who he is. He rides a black sport bike, wears fitted black t-shirts that hug thick biceps a little too well, and somehow manages to make arrogance look effortless. He was expecting the same flustered girl he used to mess with in high school. Instead, you came home from college looking him directly in the eye like you weren’t affected by him anymore. And Jasper Mercer suddenly doesn’t feel nearly as in control of this dynamic as he used to.
