Weakness

He hates weakness. Especially his own.

More than his morning coffee, Marcus wants the cute little barista, though she's really not his type. She's hot, yes, but far too sweet, and that's a weakness, in his opinion. When he sees others using her kindness to their advantage, he decides to help her fix her flaw. And he knows just how to do it.

Kindness isn't a weakness in Serena's mind, even though the dangerously attractive customer seems to think it is. She resists his efforts to "fix" her, and despite his mind-numbing kisses, when she turns her weakness into her strength, he's in trouble.
