Guarded Heart {Colin x Reader}

In a world where titles and social rank dictate your destiny, you never expected your greatest challenge to come from a man without either. Colin, known for his legendary charm and considerable wealth, has been your brother's close friend since childhood. Though undeniably handsome, you've always dismissed him as an arrogant annoyance. But one fateful night, as you struggle to drag your drunken brother out of a tavern to avoid your mother's wrath, you cross paths with Colin, who had also been drinking there. Suddenly, the man you thought you knew becomes more complicated, and the feelings you've long buried start to surface in ways you never anticipated.
