Sweet Rage

He paid my ransom. I moved into his house. Please don't tell my lawyer how long the “separate bedrooms” rule lasted. A week ago, I told Kane Makov to get out of my life for good. Then his enemy's men grabbed me in the alley behind my burning bakery. To get me back, Kane signed over his entire empire without so much as blinking. Now, I'm free. But the enemy is trying to seize my bakery anyway. I'm powerless to stop him. Kane, however, has the lawyers, the muscle, and a grudge against the same man. “You want my help?” he says. “Then you live where I can keep you safe.” Fine. But I have terms: separate bedrooms, equal say, and zero secrets. The separate-rooms part doesn't survive the month. In my defense, have you seen that man's shoulders in a black sweater? But Kane swears he's done keeping secrets from me. “From here on out, you get the truth,” he says. “Even when it's ugly.” He means it. ... right up until the moment it matters most. SWEET RAGE is Book Two of the Makov Bratva duet. Kane and Delilah's story begins in Book One, SWEET RUIN, and ends here with their happily ever after.
