He warned me once. That if I kept digging into his world, I wouldn't survive it. But I've never listened to warnings- and I've never met a man like Rei. ------- Aria Hayes has one rule as a journalist: never fall for the story. But when her investigation into New York's most powerful crime family leads her straight to Rei Santoro - the man everyone in the city whispers about - that rule shatters. He's dangerous, untouchable, and far too interested in the truth she's chasing. The deeper Aria dives, the more she realizes that Rei isn't her enemy - he's the only one keeping her alive.
