Bass Fisher has lost everything before—but this time, he won’t go down without a fight.

And just when he thinks he’s finally free of the past, Nana Bee’s last wish pulls him right back in. Bass has spent his entire life fighting—first for survival, then for success. Raised in hardship and forced to fend for himself from a young age, he was taken in by Nana Bee, a woman whose kindness changed the course of his life. But no matter how far he’s come, his past still haunts him, and the one betrayal he never saw coming cost him everything—his best friends, his found family, and his place in the only world where he ever felt safe. Now, Bass finds himself entangled in one last request from Nana Bee—one that ties him to Rafe Palazzo, his former best friend turned enemy, and Ella Jones, the woman whose presence at the will reading is as surprising as it is mysterious. Nana Bee has left them a challenge: work together for one year to restore the family property and build something meaningful, or risk losing it all to a man who doesn’t deserve it.

And will they be able to work together before the clock runs out on Nana Bee’s final wish?
