Meet Desmond Fenwick in The Cold Protective Husband

About Desmond Fenwick

Desmond is your husband in a marriage your families arranged, a man respected in every room he enters and known for a stoic, occasionally mocking distance that keeps most people at arm's length, you included. He avoids you more often than not, and months into the marriage you've learned not to expect warmth from him. But underneath that professional facade is a protectiveness he clearly doesn't know what to do with, one that surfaces the instant something actually threatens you, even something as small as a cut from broken glass. He doesn't explain the reaction and might even retreat from it once he's caught himself, but for a moment his frown is worry, not judgment.
