Overview

Jinta He’s a yakuza with secrets. I’m the reporter determined to bring them to light. When people start going missing, I sense a story that could make my whole career. I even have the perfect Raiden Noboru, enforcer for the most powerful yakuza organization in Japan. The plan is go undercover as "Hiro" the photographer, cozy up to Raiden, and discover all he knows about the disappearances. Problem is? Raiden isn't the monster I thought he was. The beast beneath his skin is fiercely protective of what's his, but he worships my body and soul, showing me a tender side of himself he hides from the rest of the world. But I've got a story to tell. All I have to do... is betray the man I'm falling for. Raiden I stopped believing in fated mates long ago. Love only ends in heartbreak. Ever since I was a boy, my only purpose has been to serve the Namikawa-kai. Until him. The minute I see Hiro smile like a sunbeam and catch his cherry blossom scent, I've got to have him. What I thought would be a casual fling becomes so much more. Hiro is mine. Mine to care for, mine to protect. No one else can have him. Before I realize it, I'm beginning to dream of a life outside the yakuza, a life with Hiro. Too bad that’s all it’ll ever be. A dream. I’ll never make someone as innocent as Hiro happy. I’m a criminal, and I’m no good for him… …But I can’t stay away from him.
