In the heart of New York City, billionaire architect Jaxon "Jax" Porter returns to the place that nearly ruined him-Brooklyn. Haunted by a dark past and the woman who once dragged him down, Jax swore he'd never look back. But fate has other plans. When he crosses paths with Naomi Knight, the fiery lawyer with a dangerous allure, and Kendra, the down-to-earth single mom who captured his heart, Jax finds himself entangled in a life he thought he'd left behind.
As passions ignite and old wounds reopen, Jax must navigate a web of temptation, betrayal, and loyalty. But with Naomi desperate to rekindle what they lost and Kendra offering him a shot at true love, Jax's choices could cost him everything-his empire, his freedom, and his heart.
If I Can't Have You is a gripping tale of love, lust, and the choices that define us.
