They say fire cleanses. They never watched it steal the only person who ever mattered. Two years ago, I buried my sister in ash and screams—her life stolen by the same criminal empire I swore to dismantle. Now I’m back on Oʻahu, undercover, armed with ink, steel, and a name that’s not mine. Every tattoo I give brings me closer to the man who lit the match. Makoa Keahi. Ex-priest. Syndicate king. A legend carved in blood and ink with storm-gray eyes and a scar that cuts deeper than it looks. He’s everything I should hate. But the closer I get, the more I see the cracks in his empire... and in his soul. He’s not the monster I expected—but that doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous. Or that I’m not falling. He thinks I’m just another artist. He doesn’t know I’ve already mapped his sins across my skin. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. Not on this island. Not when vengeance and desire burn in the same breath. I came here to end him. I didn’t expect to want to save him. Burn me Slow is a searing dark mafia romance of enemies turned lovers, set against the lush with the violent beauty of Hawaii’s underworld. Perfect for fans of twisted loyalties, slow-burning betrayal, and love born in the ashes.
