Las Vegas bends to the will of the K.I.N.G Brothers, and as the ruthless owner of the most exclusive club in the city, Kaine has everything under control. Power, money, fear and respect.
Until Harper walks through his doors.
She's a storm he never saw coming, unraveling the carefully constructed world he built brick by brick.
But Kaine doesn't have time for distractions, because there's a new enemy in town, and the body count is rising. One who wants to burn it all down and take over everything the K.I.N.G Brothers have built.
In Vegas, power is everything. And Kaine will have to decide if Harper is his greatest weakness, or the only chance he has to survive.

A Shelter of thorns
An impossible debt. A dangerous offer. A love that could ruin or redeem them. For her entire life, Amara Johnson has lived in a bubble. Sheltered and coddled by her loving but average family, her world is small, safe, and predictable. That all shatters when she follows her brother to Tokyo for a fresh start. But her brother's secret gambling habit plunges them into a nightmare. He didn't just borrow money-he borrowed from Kenzo Sato, the most feared and powerful Oyabun of the Yakuza in Japan. Now, to protect her brother's life, Amara must leave her quiet job at the bank and work off his massive debt in Kenzo's front: an exclusive, members-only cafe in the heart of Shinjuku. She's out of place, naive, and terrified. And she's utterly captivating to him. Kenzo Sato is a vision of controlled chaos-sharp suits over intricate tattoos, a piercing gaze that sees everything, and a billionaire empire built on power and respect. He is everything her sheltered life taught her to fear. To Amara, he's utterly terrifying. To Kenzo, she's an exotic breath of fresh air-a innocence he never knew he craved. He makes her a new offer: become his exclusively. His companion. His obsession. In return, her brother's debt vanishes and she will want for nothing. It's a gilded cage that promises to lift her from poverty and change her life forever. Caught between fear and a fierce, unexpected attraction, Amara must navigate a world of danger, luxury, and dark desire. Can her sheltered heart survive the ruthless world of the Yakuza? Or will the man who owns her debt also claim her heart?Complete

ENGLISH VERSION - Joker (Sanzu x OC)
You know what makes me laugh about people? Their habit of judging others just by looking at them. "That guy's just a psycho." "A freak." They think I don't think. That I'm stupid. That all I do is stir up shit. Adorable. The truth is, I see everything. I know everything. This game? It's mine. The rules? I make them. I'm no pawn. I'm the fucking master of this chessboard. The King matters more than anything else. And her? She's my Queen. She thinks she understands me. No. Not yet. But she'll end up seeing me for what I am. Because once you've tasted madness-once it's sunk its claws into you-there's no saving you. She's not getting out. Not now that I've seen her. Not now that she's stepped into my game. Welcome to Book 2 of my saga centered on the Bonten members. This story focuses on Sanzu Haruchiyo, an unstable, obsessive and uncontrollable character. Even though it follows the continuity of the first book (centered on Mikey), you don't need to read it to follow this one. Just like the first, there's no need to read or watch Tokyo Revengers - the universe is open to everyone. All characters, except for the main OC, belong to Ken Wakui. ⚠️ BIG WARNING ⚠️ This story is way darker than the previous one. It deals with sensitive themes. I won't be able to list all the TWs at the start of every chapter, because with Sanzu, they'll be constant. If this kind of content makes you uncomfortable: DON'T READ IT. Protect yourself. This story's not for you, and that's totally okay. Seriously. Non-exhaustive list of TWs: Physical / psychological violence Toxic relationships Mentions of trauma Dub-con / non-consensual dynamics Smut Drug use Graphic violence descriptions If you still decide to step inside Sanzu's mind... Prepare yourself. There's no coming back.Complete

She began to mistake recklessness for freedom, intoxication for strength, until the lines between caution and calamity dissolved altogether. And then there was him. The one they whispered about. The one with blood on his hands and shadows in his eyes. The one who looked at her like he had already decided how this would end. She did not want him, not until his cards came into play and she realized he had marked her as his ace, the piece he would use to topple the table and destroy the pot.

He would twist her into a weapon, his own fire to ignite the empire. But one can forget how fickle the flames can be. Stoke them too much, and they no longer obey.
