A closed-door, enemies-to-lovers slow burn with all the yearning of your favorite K-drama — the ache, the longing, and the bedroom door firmly shut.
Sora Yun built Marigold from nothing: a Creole-Korean kitchen on a Chartres Street corner, a three-month waiting list, and a brother at the pass who reads her like a ticket order. Then the man buying up her whole block walks in, sits at table six, orders the entire menu, and eats it one slow, clinical bite at a time — while his construction crew rattles her windows in their frames.
Reid Hawthorn is heir to a hundred-year hospitality empire, a man taught that eating is a procedure and that wanting things is a weakness. He came to assess a property. He did not come to be undone by a bowl of gumbo and a woman who tells him his posture is the problem.
She should hate him — he’s the reason her foundation is splitting. And the more time they spend on opposite sides of a lease that could erase everything she’s built, the harder it gets to ignore that the cold man across the table looks at her like she’s the first warm thing he’s seen in years.
But his mother runs the board. The board has a clause. And the price of choosing Sora is the empire Reid was raised to inherit — the same empire that already cost his brother everything.
And somewhere between a closing notice and a boardroom ultimatum, a man who has never chosen anything for himself has to decide whether a name and a legacy are worth more than the one table he can’t stop coming back to.
