Who Would Like This Book:
If you love your romance on the spicy, forbidden side - with plenty of taboo temptation - Wanting Mr. Cane is right up your alley. It’s all about slow-burning chemistry, drama, and steamy tension as Cane (an inked-up, older best friend of the heroine’s father) and Kandy (his best friend’s daughter) navigate a dangerously charged connection. Fans of age-gap and father’s-best-friend tropes will be hooked by the emotional depth, explosive banter, and sizzling scenes. This book isn’t just about attraction; it dives into all the angst and guilt that come with crossing the line - and truly delivers on the feels.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If cliffhangers aren’t your thing, consider this a heads-up - you’re in for a suspenseful, unresolved ending. Some readers find the age gap and the lingering childhood connection a little uncomfortable or just not their preferred trope. If you’re not a fan of forbidden or taboo romances, or if dramatic storylines and intense emotional conflict aren’t your cup of tea, this one might be a miss for you.

From The Publisher:
KANDY
It was love at first sight when I met Mr. Cane.
He was handsome, broody, tattooed, and rich. For years, he's been mine. He just didn't know it.
I wasn't expecting to fall in love with him, or for him to want me in the ways that he did.
None of it was ever supposed to happen, but after all we've done together, it's too late to turn back now. A once harmless crush had blossomed into so much more.
CANE
When we first met, she was just a kid - my best friend's daughter. A sweet, young girl with a big heart. But now, she's a young woman who knows what she wants, and all she wants is me.
I've tried holding back, pretending the connection meant nothing, but my sweet candy cane made it impossible. If anyone finds out, I'll be ruined. I've worked too hard to lose everything I've built. But there's just something about her that tempts me, making me want to sacrifice just about anything to have her.
