Keiri Takanashi has one goal: stay invisible, finish high school, and avoid becoming collateral damage in her brother's not-so-secret gang life. But one wrong move, one stolen purse, and one mistimed judo throw lands her face-to-face with Ashton Tatsu; the icy, infamously hot leader of The Vireon, a gang so dangerous they make the school gossip circuit and the city crime watchlist. Now Keiri's on Ashton's radar. Add a popular best friend with a secret agenda, a mysterious new student with flirty threats, and a family legacy darker than she ever imagined, and Keiri's world goes from sketchbooks and snack runs to mafia codes and survival plans. The only way out? Trusting the people she swore she never would. And maybe falling for the boy she should be running from Ashton Tatsu isn't looking for love. He's barely keeping his family's crumbling empire from falling into the wrong hands. With betrayal creeping from every corner and a rival gang leader threatening to destroy everything he doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not the small, stubborn girl who attacked him in a park and then stole his attention like it was hers to take. But when family secrets, forbidden ties, and hidden enemies collide, Kirei and Ashton will have to decide: trust no one or risk everything for each other.
