For fifteen years, Mei and her twin brother Kai have known nothing but blood. Raised in isolation and trained to kill, they've been given one purpose: avenge their parents' deaths. Now, they've finally been given the chance. Their target is the head of the Aoki family-the man responsible for their parents' deaths. The only problem is that he's been hidden away for years, making him nearly impossible to reach. To get to him, they must infiltrate the Yakuza and earn the trust of Jhin Aoki, the family's ruthless heir. Jhin spent the last five years running the Aoki operation from prison, and now he's finally been released. Jhin doesn't ask for what he wants. He takes it. And once he decides Mei is his, he'll make damn sure she remembers exactly who she belongs to.
