When a hit goes wrong, rival assassins Kira Timurov and Yumeko Kawamoto are forced to work together. But the mission hides deeper secrets-ones tied to a black-ops project that connects their families. As enemies close in and trust grows uneasy, the line between survival and something more begins to blur. Or, Two rival assassins. One shared past. Zero room for mistakes-and too much room for feelings.

"Did you know?" Yumeko asked, tears forming in her eyes, throat burning. "Yumeko, please.."

This is a love story about two idiots: One who gets electrocuted, One who does the electrocuting, And both who needs therapy. Because nothing says romance like a taser to the heart. Literally.

Kira Timurov doesn't need distractions. As the icy CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and the fiercely protective single mother of a two-year-old menace in pigtails, her life runs on control-and caffeine. She's gone through thirteen babysitters in six months. Lucky number fourteen? Yumeko Jabami. A broke, brilliant medical student with a knack for surviving chaos and a dangerous inability to keep her mouth shut, Yumeko takes the job only to pay off her crushing student debt. But between toddler tantrums, power lunches, and unexpected midnight heart-to-hearts, she finds herself tangled in something far more volatile than a Timurov temper: feelings. Kira doesn't do vulnerability. Yumeko doesn't do silence. And little Runa? She just wants to stage her preschool opera in the boardroom

At St. Dominic's Academy, gambling decides everything-and no one holds more power than Kira, the flawless student body president and daughter of the school's ruthless owner. Enter Yumeko, a bold transfer student with a mysterious smile and a talent for turning the tables. She's reckless, unpredictable-and far too intrigued by Kira for her own good. Kira should see Yumeko as just another threat to crush. But behind the rivalry, a dangerous attraction grows-one Kira can't afford to feel, not with her father watching and the school depending on her control. In a world built on bluffs and betrayal, falling for your enemy might be the riskiest game of all.

A decade after the power-shaking union of Kira Timurov and Yumeko Jabami, St. Dominic's has evolved into a fortress of legacy, expectation, and secrets. But a new storm brews beneath its polished marble - one born not from bloodlines alone, but from the hearts of their children. Yuki Timurov-Jabami enters the academy as heir to two legacies that once warred and wed. She is brilliant, unreadable, and balanced on the edge between fire and ice. Alongside her is Nate Timurov-Davis, her closest confidant and cousin - the only one she allows to see her cracks. The heirs of St. Dominic's - Cory, Dawn, Chase, Vera, AZ, and Zack - find themselves bound not just by legacy but by threat. A new faction rises within the academy, threatening to expose old scandals, unravel alliances, and erase everything their parents built. The student council must rise again, with these heirs at the helm - not just to protect the academy, but to decide who they want to be in a world still chained by the games of the past.
