In the gritty streets of Neo Chibari, 22-year-old Gwen, a scrappy 'geisha' living in the Old Fontaine Quarter, finds herself plunged into the heart of the city's criminal underbelly. In a world where mega-corporations and crime syndicates rule with an iron fist and the neon glow conceals a web of corruption, Gwen's life takes a perilous turn when she accepts a seemingly innocuous courier job.

Little does Gwen know that the package she carries holds the key to a power struggle between the Yakuza, ruthless gangsters, mercenaries with cybernetic augmentations, and the mysterious Matsuya Mechanica Corporation. As she navigates the labyrinthine alleyways and shadowy corners of Neo Chibari, Gwen becomes entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Tangling with Yakuza enforcers, cunning gang leaders, elusive smugglers, and battle-hardened street samurai, Gwen's journey transforms from a simple courier mission into a high-stakes crime adventure. Along the way, she discovers the dark secrets of the city's criminal elite and a mysterious deal that threatens to plunge Neo Chibari into chaos.

Armed only with her limited street smarts, Gwen must outwit and outmaneuver her adversaries to survive. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Gwen forms uneasy alliances with fellow outcasts in the criminal underworld. Each encounter pushes her limits, forcing Gwen to confront her own vulnerabilities and discover hidden strengths she never knew she possessed.

In a city where betrayal is a currency and survival is a constant struggle, Gwen's journey becomes a race against time. Neo Chibari serves as the backdrop for a cyberpunk noir filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected alliances. Will Gwen unravel the truth behind the dangerous game she's unwittingly entered, or will she become another pawn in the city's shadowy machinations?

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

Kalia's POV : Freedom ain't real. It's just a pretty lie people tell themselves to sleep better at night. Me? I've never been free. Not when I was born into a life where people used me like a tool. Not when I thought I escaped, only to get dragged back in. And sure as hell not now, trapped in a marriage I never wanted with a man who loves me like an addiction-obsessive, toxic, suffocating. Easton swears I belong to him. Calls me his, like I'm a possession, not a person. But I was never meant to be owned. Not by him. Not by anyone. And yet... I'm craving the one person I can't have. The one man I shouldn't want. Jay Kim. My husband's best friend. The only person who looks at me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's game. The only man who's ever made me feel safe. But love in this world? It don't come without consequences. And choosing Jay? That'd be the kind of mistake that gets people killed. Jay's POV: I never wanted this empire. It was my uncle's before me-a kingdom built on blood, corruption, and greed. But when he fell, I had two choices: take control or let worse men have it. So I took it. And now? I'm doing what he never could. I'm fixing the mess he left behind. Cleaning up the dirt while keeping the wolves from tearing it apart. But then she came back. Kalia Gomez. The only woman who's ever made me want something outside of this life. The one I can't have-because she belongs to someone else. Not just anyone, either. Easton. My friend. My brother in arms. I should walk away. Should forget about the way she looks at me when no one's watching. Should ignore the way my pulse fucking riots every time she's close. But it's too late for that. Because I might be trying to clean up this empire... But for Kalia? I'd burn it all down.
