She ends up being fed more than the three course meal he came to serve. Iyla Fisher thought her solo anniversary dinner would be a quiet night of self-care until, Keywan Glover, a chef with a short fuse and a violent past, strolls into her life and flips the script.

When he walked into Iyla’s life, Keywan knew he was on borrowed time. He didn’t come to save her, but somehow he knows he’s exactly what she needs. She was broken. He was angry. Neither of them believed in fairy tales until the night they spent together changed everything.

When he returns from serving a three-year sentence, Keywan is determined to reconnect with the woman he’s dreamed of every night since their one-night stand. He’s released with a court order for therapy. Thankfully the woman of his dreams is a therapist. Three years apart did little to put out the fire brewing between them. Dive into Taming a Menace, an emotionally intense slow burn full of passion, healing, and second chances, to find out what happens when two damaged souls dare to get too close.","format",{"_19":24,"_88":111,"_112":113,"_114":47},"publisher","B.
