I OWN THE KITCHEN AND I OWN HER. I am the King of Atlanta's culinary world. My word is law. My kitchen is a temple of perfection. Keke Walker is the only person who dares to challenge my authority. She is my sous chef by day and my obsession by night. I demand total submission. I take what I want in the heat of the office and the cold of the wine cellar. A rival wants to use our secret to burn my empire to the ground. He thinks a scandal will break me. He is mistaken. I do not follow the rules. I create them. Then Keke disappears. She leaves my side and vanishes into the night. She thinks she can escape my reach. I do not let go of what is mine. I hunted her for months. I used every resource at my disposal to track her down. When I finally corner her, I find more than just a runaway lover. I find a son with my eyes. The stakes have changed. My fury has turned into a lethal need to protect. I am taking my family back to the throne. I will destroy anyone who threatens my heir or my woman. She is bound to me forever by blood and obsession.
