I never do anything halfway.
When the world painted me as the villain, I needed a wife who could fix my image.
What I got was Mia—brilliant, untouchable, Black chef queen with a stalker ex who won’t stay buried.
One year. Fake ring. Separate lives.
That was the deal.
But the second I tasted her fire in that kitchen, watched her command her empire while danger circled closer, something in me snapped. Now I’m the man who’ll break every law I ever defended just to keep her safe.
She thinks this marriage is still pretend.
I know it’s dangerously real.
And when her ex comes for what belongs to me, he’ll learn exactly how far a man like me will go for his Black Wife Obsession.
