Synopsis
By day, Caden Nikolai Spencer is the CEO of a chain of pharmacies. By night, he runs a drug organization in Rose Valley Hills. Caden runs his illegal business as a ghost, trusting his brother and best friend to ensure business runs smoothly. The only thing lacking in his life is the love of a loyal woman, and the moment his eyes land on Dru, Caden is convinced that is about to change. Dru Mallory Peterson has only existed, never lived. She takes care of her teenaged sister as if she was her mother, though their mother is alive, well, and in the home with them. Tina is more of a monster than a mother, and to ensure her sister has a better upbringing than she did, Dru spends her days and nights working two jobs to provide. All of that changes when she meets Caden. A bit of a damsel in distress, Dru has no choice but to accept Caden’s help when her attempt to protect her sister leaves her with an enemy and a debt she can’t afford to pay. There is only one thing Caden wants in return—her heart—and he refuses to let Tina or anyone else stand in the way of him securing it.
