The Cost Of You

Niji has always seen herself as ordinary - a skeptic with a guarded heart and a body she's long stopped loving. Living quietly in the apartment her late grandfather left her, she wants nothing more than to find a little peace and purpose.

That peace shatters the night a stranger with hair like gold and blood on his sleeve stumbles into her bathroom. He says he knew her grandfather. He says he needs her help. Against her better judgment, Niji tends his wounds and listens. By morning, he's gone - leaving only questions and the echo of something dangerous between them.

When fate draws them together again, she discovers that Erwin Smith isn't just a man. He's a king among criminals - a CEO with a hidden empire and a past that bleeds. And somehow, she's been pulled into his world of power, secrets, and quiet violence.

As Niji becomes entangled in his dark life - and his impossible tenderness - she learns that love has a price. And when Erwin's empire begins to crumble, she'll have to decide just how much of herself she's willing to give.
