Darion left home for college. She escaped the overbearingly protective fathers she had. After tasting freedom and how it feels to live for the first time in many many years she decides to stay. New York City is all about hustle and she's testing her luck as she opens a shop of her own. She meets two men at her closed shop one desperate for coffee and the other under the threat of death. Those two lead her to the largest man she's ever met. With the fear of touch how come these three seem to be the exception? This is a spin off from The Heir to Two and The Rose of the Red Queen but can be read as a stand alone.
