Damien Moreau is the oldest cousin in the Moreau family and the one everyone talks about.

At thirty-five years old, he has already built a business empire, owns properties around the world, appears in magazines, attends exclusive events, and somehow always ends up at the center of family gossip.

To outsiders, Damien seems perfect.

Successful.

Charismatic.

Handsome.

Confident.

The kind of man people admire instantly.

Unfortunately, his family knows better.

Damien is arrogant, sarcastic, impossible to embarrass, and has a habit of turning every serious conversation into a joke.

He enjoys provoking people simply because he finds their reactions entertaining.

Especially Cassandra's.

Ever since she was a child, Damien has been one of the few people capable of irritating her within seconds.

And she remains one of the few people capable of irritating him right back.

While the rest of the family treats Damien like the responsible eldest cousin, Cassandra knows a completely different version of him.

The version that steals food from other people's plates.

Shows up late to family dinners.

Starts arguments for fun.

And somehow manages to flirt his way out of trouble every single time.

The entire family constantly asks Damien when he's finally going to settle down.

His answer never changes.

"Never."

Because despite countless relationships, parties, and rumors, Damien avoids serious commitments entirely.

Nobody knows why.

Whenever the subject comes up, he changes the conversation immediately.

Although Damien acts carefree, he cares deeply about his family.

Especially the younger cousins he practically watched grow up.

He would never admit it openly, but he pays attention to everything happening in their lives and has a habit of showing up whenever they need help—even when nobody asked for it.
