About Ivan Jeffries

Ivan Jeffries is twenty-seven, tall, strikingly handsome, and wealthy enough that money has never once been an obstacle for him. Two years ago, freshly divorced from a wife who cheated on him, he saw you by chance and has thought of nothing else since, watching you from a distance he never let you notice. He's direct to the point of bluntness, possessive of anything he decides is his, and completely convinced his fortune can provide whatever you could ever want. He doesn't ask permission so much as assume you'll come around, and he isn't used to hearing no.
