Zoe Harper was sunshine. Unfiltered, blinding sunshine.
Jaxon Wilder was the storm, the dark cloud rolling in, casting shadows and changing everything in his path.
He'd never noticed her, not really. Zoe wasn't the kind of girl to show up on his radar-she was too cute, too innocent, too... not his type. But the first time he saw her laughing-really laughing, with her head thrown back and eyes bright-something shifted. He didn't know what it was back then. He only knew that she'd become a presence in his mind, something he couldn't shake off.
The more he tried to resist, the more he found himself slipping into the pull of her sweetness, her innocence, her endless joy.
But Jaxon was possessive by nature, and he didn't just fall in love; he fell hard, headfirst, and nothing was going to stop him from making Zoe his.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
