He walked like one, like he owned the ground his feet stepped on. Like he owned the air that we all breathed in. Like he could eat up the universe, if he wanted to.
Someone killed Rumi, the Russian Mafia's top washer in New York. Kazimir, the head of the Bratva, has come to NY to find the murderer. They call him The Russian Lion, known for having over two hundred kills. By the age of twenty, the FBI placed him ten steps away from Usama Bin Laden on the Most Wanted List. To kill his washer begins a dark and deadly war.
Unfortunately, Emily falls on Kazimir's radar. Her brother is suspected of being involved in the murder. To save her brother, she is forced to launder Kazimir's money; but she's a perfect fit for the job. Known as a con to others, called a hustler by many, she's the best washer in Harlem, keeping low-key gangsters on their toes.
At first, Kazimir and Emily have a tricky arrangement based on fear and danger. Her working for him is like balancing on a tight rope. He's a monster wrapped in a gorgeous package. Still, there's an air of sensuality around him that makes her forget sometimes how terrifying he can be. Sexual tension heats up between the two, but one violent night changes everything, pitting everyone against each other--Russians, Jamaicans...anyone in Harlem with a gun. Kazimir and Emily must somehow learn to trust each other before they end up being one of the dozens of dead bodies left on the streets of New York.
But there are hidden secrets and twists intertwined with Rumi's murders. When the truth comes to light, Kazimir's money won't be the only thing that's dirty. And, unfortunately, their rising attraction may not survive.

MISHA: For a year, Kazimir’s cousin Misha has been obsessed with Ava—the only black ballerina in the Mariinsky theater company. When the opportunity arises to spend time with Ava, Misha seizes it. But over and over distractions appear—a psycho here and there, a devil, stolen nukes, and even a missing corpse.
Over and over, obstacles arise.
Can Misha battle them all as he fights for Ava’s love? Or will he never get his ballerina?
AVA: Ballet is all Ava has ever known. Due to the murder of the company’s prima ballerina, they gave Ava the principal role in the ballet.

“Oh, Misha!”
“You’re damn right,” he growled. “Who’s f**king you?”

Nyomi Palmer came to Japan to chase a story—an exposé on the elite sex clubs hidden beneath Tokyo’s neon skyline. She didn’t expect to find Kenji Sato—the Yakuza heir to an empire soaked in blood and gold, known only to all as the Dragon.
He was exquisite death in a designer suit. Power drips from his every word. And when he breathes her in—black amber and ripe plum—he gives her a new name.
Tora.
His tiger.
His obsession.
But Kenji Sato has rules. A legacy. And enemies who would slit her throat just to watch him bleed. He can’t afford to fall in love, and yet—he does so fast it shocks him.
But does the Dragon truly have time for love?
Or will the Dragon drag them both into the fire?

Tokyo’s most dangerous mafia king, Kenji Sato, commands empires with silence, precision, and blood. But ever since Nyomi Palmer—a bold Black American author determined to expose Tokyo’s underworld—steps into his world, his obsession has turned feral.
One dream—her on a throne, his mouth between her thighs—and the Dragon shatters.
Jet planes. Private chefs. Decadent suites. He offers her the empire—but not freedom.
But beneath the luxury and lust, a war is building. With his father—the Fox—threatening his empire, and spies whispering at every border, Kenji must decide if Nyomi is his ultimate weakness. . .or the weapon he needs most.
As the ropes tighten, secrets unravel, and desire transforms into devotion, Nyomi will discover just how far a Dragon will go to possess the woman who dares to master him—and how much blood he’ll spill for her name.

And I’m unraveling.
Tokyo is a battlefield.
The Fox—my father—has bared his fangs.
Blood will spill.
Secrets will surface.
And every decision I make could cost me everything I’ve fought for.
Nyomi holds the fire and the blade.
She isn’t just my obsession—she’s my Queen..
But to claim her fully, I’ll have to kneel.
Bleed.
And burn down every lie I’ve ever told. . .even the ones I told myself.
Because love isn’t the end of the war.
It’s the beginning.
Love was never supposed to survive in the Dragon’s empire.
But Kenji—ruthless Yakuza heir, feared across Asia—has done the impossible. He’s fallen in love.

Love was never supposed to survive in the Dragon’s empire.
But Kenji—ruthless Yakuza heir, feared across Asia—has done the impossible. He’s fallen in love.
Nyomi thought she was only investigating Tokyo’s underworld. Instead, she became the Dragon’s Heart—his obsession, his weapon, his undoing. Together, they’ve faced betrayal, bloodshed, and a war that threatens to consume them both.
Now the walls are closing in.
The Fox waits in the shadows.
Spies walk freely on the island.
And Kenji’s enemies know the one truth that could destroy him: to break the Dragon, they must first take his Tiger.
But Nyomi is no longer just a journalist caught in the storm. She’s been sharpened into something lethal—his partner, his insight, his only equal. And she’s ready to test just how far love can burn when it’s forged in fire, blood, and obsession.
In the end, it won’t just be Tokyo at stake. It will be their souls.
