𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- Sage Monroe finally opened Sweet Tooth, the bakery she and her late grandmother always dreamed of-only to find herself next door to loud bass, loud weed, and an even louder man who owns the dispensary beside her.

What starts as tension turns into something neither of them saw coming-until betrayal, kidnapping, and a deadly street war threatens to tear it all apart. And when the smoke clears, Cash has to decide if love is worth bleeding for... and Sage has to decide if she can survive loving a man built for war.
