Every evening, Kadiv LaPointe walks into Azriel Tiger’s diner, Alice Shirley’s, and orders the same thing: two orange juices, no ice, two straws.
Azriel has six children, a family legacy to protect, and no room in her life for a man who acts like he already belongs in it. Kadiv is charming, relentless, and far too comfortable calling her his. She knows better than to trust a man just because he shows up every day.
But when someone from Azriel’s past finds the home she fought to keep hidden, Kadiv shows her exactly how far he’ll go for the people he claims. His protection feels like safety—until she begins to see what it might cost.
Azriel has survived loving the wrong man before. This time, the most dangerous one may be the man she wants to let in.
