Nero Hussein doesn't ask permission-he takes what he wants.
As the first Persian Muslim American promoted to Captain of Homicide, he's spent his career breaking rules and defying expectations. He rejected his family's chosen bride, their real estate empire, and every tradition that tried to cage him. For what? For her. Stacie-his wife, his obsession, the only woman who ever made him believe in forever.
Their marriage should be perfect. It was perfect.
Until the morning, she tells him what she really wants: a baby.
The one thing Nero swore he'd never give anyone. The one promise he can't break.
