Amara Bennett has always believed in the beauty of simple things: the smell of freshly brewed coffee, second-hand treasures from thrift stores, and the joy of helping others. Working as a barista and volunteering at a local community center, she’s built a life full of heart, even if it’s far from glamorous. Love, however, has always seemed out of reach—until a brooding stranger walks into her café and turns her world upside down.
Nikolai Volkov thrives in a world of power and excess. As a billionaire businessman with a past as cold as his demeanor, emotions have never had a place in his life. But when he meets Amara, her warmth and kindness ignite something he thought long buried. He’s determined to make her his, but Amara refuses to be bought—or controlled.
Their connection is undeniable, but the clash of their worlds creates sparks that could either light the way to love or burn them both. As secrets surface and challenges threaten to tear them apart, Nikolai and Amara must confront their deepest fears to discover if love can truly bridge the divide between them.
He’s never fallen before. But for her, he’s willing to risk everything.
