(Lesbian x Man)
Audrianna Snow has never been impressed by money, power, or the men who believe they can buy their way into her life.
As the fiercely independent head chef of L'Étoile Royale, she has built her world with hard work, sharp instincts, and an even sharper tongue. She doesn't care that Logan Saunders is a ruthless billionaire CEO. She doesn't care about his influence, his reputation, or the beautiful woman hanging from his arm.
And she certainly doesn't care about pleasing him.
Logan is used to controlling everything-his company, his empire, and the people around him. Then Audrianna walks into his world and challenges everything he believes about love, loyalty, and desire.
What begins as irritation becomes fascination. Fascination becomes dependence. And soon, the woman who refuses to be owned becomes the one person Logan cannot imagine living without.
She wants her independence.
He wants her heart.
But Audrianna isn't the kind of woman who surrenders easily-and Logan isn't the kind of man who knows how to let go.
Their love will be forged in fire, seasoned with defiance, and served with a passion neither of them can escape.
---------------------------------
"I'm not here to negotiate a romance, Audrianna. You are the only real thing in my entire world. If all you ever give me is dinner, bitter truths, and a seat at your table... I will take it. But I am not going anywhere."
- Logan Saunders
