Playing with Fire - Black Orchid Book One
Hitman × Escort × Informant
Chicago has a club that rich people don't admit they visit.
Black Orchid-velvet rooms, private rules, and a price for everything.
Joong is the city's cleanest hitman.
Quiet. Precise. Untouchable.
The kind of man who doesn't threaten-he finishes.
Dunk is Black Orchid's most dangerous escort.
Not because he's soft. Because he's smart.
He knows how to survive men who think money makes them gods.
Then the police corner Dunk and turn him into a weapon:
Get close to Joong. Get something real.
No wires in a van. No interrogation room.
Just silk sheets, controlled breaths, and questions asked with a smile.
Joong keeps booking him anyway.
Not because he trusts him-because he wants to know why.
What follows isn't romance.
It's a power game-slow, intimate, brutal.
Joong tightening rules. Dunk learning how to bend them.
Each meeting a test. Each touch a trap.
And while they circle each other, Black Orchid rots from the inside:
a new drug, corrupt money, and bodies that keep showing up "accidentally."
Everyone is lying.
Everyone is using someone.
No one is innocent.
This isn't a love story.
It's a fire.
And once you step into Black Orchid, you don't walk out untouched.
