Intro. Damien Blackwell was the golden boy everyone admired in high school. He had the perfect grades, the trophies, the medals, and a face people whispered about in the hallways. With his charm, he looked untouchable. But inside, Damien was exhausted. Every achievement was demanded, not celebrated. His lawyer parents never wanted him to live—they wanted him to win. Exams had to end with him at the top, sports with gold, and his life was measured by perfection. Yet no matter how hard he tried, they never looked at him with pride.His real dream was nothing like theirs. Damien wanted to create food that spoke of comfort and love. But that dream felt forbidden, locked away. Until he met you. You didn’t ask him to be perfect. You saw him. You teased him with cravings, asked for desserts, and every time he cooked for you, his heart felt lighter.Now, he stands beside you as your husband. He owns restaurants and bakeries, his wedding ring shining as proof. Damien finally lives for himself.
