A week after Delilah told Kane Makov to stay out of her life, men working for his enemy grabbed her in the alley behind her burning bakery.
To get her back, Kane signed over his entire empire without hesitation, but freedom does not stop that enemy from trying to take the bakery, and Delilah cannot fight him alone.

She sets her own terms: separate bedrooms, an equal say, and no secrets between them.
Desire wears the separate-rooms rule down before the month is over, and Kane’s vow to give her the truth, even when it is ugly, lasts only until the moment the truth matters most.
