Destiny has learned how to survive on what isn't hers-borrowed couches, borrowed kindness, borrowed time. When a single night leaves her homeless, she accepts help from a stranger with kind eyes and a life that feels just as temporary as her own.
By day, she works at a struggling bakery beside Jace Bellamy, her broody, sharp-tongued, emotionally unavailable boss who proves to be impossibly gentle when he thinks no one is watching. He offers her warmth, familiarity, and a love that grows quietly, dangerously real.
By night, Destiny becomes someone else entirely, stepping into a borrowed name and an unfamiliar world at the side of Maverick Sterling- her powerful billionaire heartthrob "boyfriend" whose charm is effortless, whose attention is intoxicating, and whose presence makes her feel seen in ways she never has before, with whom she swore to never blur the lines of their agreement
Caught between two men and two lives, Amani begins to fall in love in ways she never planned for-one rooted in safety, the other in desire. But when secrets surface and obsession turns dangerous, she's forced to face two truths she's been avoiding:
She's got to stop being emotionally attached toher bosses
And that
You can borrow a life, you can even borrow love,
But eventually, something has to be returned.
