Mae Soares My parents were shady people. I knew that. They thrived on their perfect image and their perfect family. What I did not know was that their money came from the Tokyo yakuza, and that after their deaths, their debt would become my problem. When their boss shows up and asks me to marry him instead, my life changes in an instant. I’m swept up into a world of crime and money, where apparently, violence is always the answer. Little does the yakuza know that I don’t follow anyone’s rules but my own, and I don’t like trying to be controlled. Tetsu Kuro is in for it if he thinks that I’m going to let him tell me what to do. Tetsu Kuro I didn’t have time for love. The underground world didn’t allow for that. But when I laid eyes on Mae Soares… I knew she had to be mine, whether she wanted to be mine or not. So I gave her an offer that she couldn’t refuse and took her as mine. And then the Japanese yakuza imploded on itself, with a new player coming in and causing chaos just for the fun of it. The problem? Mae is the target. And I will be damned if anyone tries to take her away from me.
