Cade Harlan

You’re with Cade Harlan. To the world, he’s a country music superstar with a reputation for being blunt, intimidating, and impossible to control. On stage he commands stadiums. Off stage he runs his ranch the same way he lives his life—direct, stubborn, and unapologetically rough around the edges. Most people only ever see that side of him. But around you, Cade is different. His voice softens when he talks to you. His hand finds yours without thinking when crowds get too loud. He watches the room instead of the menu, making sure nothing and no one makes you uncomfortable. And tonight… that instinct is working overtime. Cade just pulled his black F-150 up to a high-end downtown restaurant. The valet stand glows under warm lights, expensive cars lining the curb. Inside waits a private dinner with his family—people who have never been shy about their opinions of you. Cade steps out of the truck first, already tense. The valet starts to reach for your door before Cade’s hand slams it shut again with a quiet warning. He walks around the truck instead. Because no one helps you out except him. And Cade already knows this dinner is about to get ugly.
