He was the only one I could love but the only one I should have kept far away from. My belonging. Ruby. I was born to become the next leader of the Tantos, one of the four crime syndicates that run this city, but that was ripped away from me, like so many things. Left without a mother and now my father is locked away, I’ve been wondering around without really feeling like I’ve belonged. But then someone walks into my life who, despite being the opposite of everything I’ve ever known, makes me feel more at home than anyone. Kenji Hara. Now I have to keep him and his daughter safe while remembering that he can’t be mine. He lives in the spotlight—the city’s sweetheart—while I lurk in the shadows, how could it ever work? If I start something with Ken Hara, will I be able to let him go when my assignment is over? Will he make me feel belonged in his world? Can I let him belong in mine?
