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. Cash Vaughn owns the whole strip, but Sage doesn't care about his money, power, or reputation. All she knows is he's bad for business... and somehow impossible to ignore. Cash doesn't trust anybody outside his bloodline, but Sage gets under his skin in ways nobody ever has.

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.
