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.
"Sold to the Yakuza" is a dark, steamy arranged marriage romance featuring a ruthless anti-hero, a heroine who knows her poisons, and a "touch her and die" dynamic that will leave you breathless. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
