Real estate tycoon Damon Carter is used to winning—deals, headlines, and hearts. But when his sights lock on a Harlem art collective nestled in a coveted building, he doesn’t expect his fiercest opposition to come in the form of Jade Taylor—a brilliant, sharp-tongued curator who guards her community like a queen protecting her throne.

To Damon, it’s a simple acquisition. To Jade, it’s war.

What begins as a fiery clash of wills turns into something neither of them can control. Beneath the late-night arguments and heated glares simmers a deeper connection—one neither is ready for. Jade challenges everything Damon thought he wanted, while Damon tempts Jade to risk the very heart she’s worked so hard to protect.

As lines blur and loyalties are tested, their undeniable chemistry ignites a passion that could either heal them or burn everything down.

But when betrayal threatens to destroy the fragile trust they've built, they must decide if love is worth risking it all.

Can a billionaire with a fractured past and a woman with fire in her soul build something real—without losing the very thing they were fighting to protect?
