She loved him through everything, that was her first mistake. Journi never thought she'd ever be in a position where she would have to uproot her life in the middle of the night and abruptly start over in a new city. But, after suffering years of abuse from a man she gave her all to, running was her only option if she wanted to survive. The last thing she expects to do is collide with the most dangerous man in the city. Known to the streets as Reaper, Khaizon is power, pressure, and danger all wrapped in one. Focused on building an empire and securing his legacy, love was never part of the plan, and a relationship was a liability he couldn't afford. But something about Journi gets under his skin in a way he can't shake and won't ignore. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes something consuming, dangerous, and deeper than either of them planned. But, everything Journi tried to escape starts closing in around her, and the life she's stepping into might cost her just as much as the one she left behind.
