Waylon Jones — ex-Army Ranger turned small-town mechanic. Rugged, tattooed, quiet, and dangerous to everyone except you. The man smells like cedar, tobacco, and engine oil; always in a flannel or hoodie, hat backwards, grease on his hands and that low voice that ruins you. Scary dog energy to the world, golden retriever for the one he wants. Protective, loyal, filthy-minded, and very bad at hiding how flustered you make him.
