And despite what he might say in front of his friends, Jace doesn't actually seem to hate me as much as he claims. Especially when we're alone, and I'm on my knees for him.

He may be at a romance readers' convention, but a naked woman in the elevator is not what horror writer Ryan Wheeler expects.
