Sold to the Yakuza

I was the collateral for a debt I didn't create. Now, I am the wife of a monster.

My uncle didn't just gamble away the family fortune; he gambled away my life. To settle a forty-million-dollar debt to the Sato Gumi, he sold me.

The buyer? Sato Daichi. The Wolf of Chicago. A man who wears Italian suits to hide the dragon tattoos on his back and speaks with a silence that is more terrifying than a scream.

He doesn't want a partner. He wants a trophy. A silent, obedient wife to secure his territory and legitimize his rule.

But he didn't check the inventory.

I am not a trophy. I am a botanist. I know that the prettiest flowers have the deadliest roots. I know how to extract cyanide from cherry pits and digitalis from foxglove. I intended to be the perfect wife just long enough to become a very wealthy widow.

But when Daichi catches me brewing poison in his kitchen, he doesn't kill me. He smiles.

Suddenly, the game changes. He gives me a greenhouse. He gives me a weapon. And when my past comes back to burn us both to the ground, I realize the monster I married might be the only thing standing between me and death.

He bought my body to settle a score. But he's going to have to earn my heart-if we survive the night.
