She erased evidence for the Yakuza. He hunted criminals for the Seattle PD. Their collision was inevitable.
Dr. Akira Tanaka is brilliant, cold, and very good at making murder disappear. For three years, she's cleaned crime scenes for Seattle's most dangerous crime family—until a pattern in the blood reveals something darker than mob violence.
Someone is leaving messages. For her.
Finn O'Sullivan left the force, but he never stopped being a detective. When he connects a string of tech executive murders to one impossibly thorough cleaner, he knows he should walk away.
He doesn't.
Instead, he offers her something more dangerous than arrest: partnership.
Now they're hunting a serial killer hiding inside the Yakuza. The closer they get to the truth, the clearer it becomes—Akira isn't just investigating these murders. She's the final piece of the killer's obsession.
He wants to save her. She wants redemption. Together, they might survive long enough to build something neither thought possible.
But first, she has to stop cleaning up death and start preventing it.
A forensic expert with a criminal past. An ex-cop who sees past her choices to her potential. A serial killer obsessed with her work. And a dangerous attraction neither can afford.
In the world of shadow trades, accountability is the most dangerous choice of all.
Will she choose the man who caught her... or the darkness she's spent years enabling?
Genre: Romantic Suspense
