At her own engagement party, Lila Bennett is publicly replaced as Executive Chef of the restaurant she built from nothing-by her fiancé's first love. Owen calls it a fresh start. Seraphina calls it an opportunity. Lila calls it theft. They can keep the ring, the investors, and the polished lie they built around her name. But when they start claiming her recipes, her reputation, and the future she worked years to earn, Lila refuses to disappear quietly. They expect Lila to step aside and disappear. They have no idea what happens when a woman refuses to surrender the life she built.
