Betrayed by her commanding officer and lover, she disappeared into the ruthless world of private security, where emotions are liabilities and trust gets you killed. Liang Jun has everything: wealth, status, and the reckless confidence of a man who's never faced real consequences. As the son of China's ambassador to the UN, he's more interested in Shanghai's nightlife than the credible assassination threats against his life. Bodyguards are inconveniences.

But when the Qing Triad makes their move, Jun realizes Kira isn't just a bodyguard-she's the only thing standing between him and a brutal death. Forced into proximity, their explosive clash of wills ignites into something neither can control. She sees past his careless facade to the man beneath. He sees past her armor to the wounds she hides. As betrayal circles closer and old enemies resurface, Kira must decide: keep her walls up and do her job, or risk everything for a man who's already claiming her shattered heart. In a deadly game where love is the ultimate weakness, survival might cost them everything they never knew they needed. ©️ Relle H

Deja Washington, a 32-year-old Black woman and established book editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, has sworn off Valentine's Day after a string of disappointing relationships that always seem to fizzle out just when things get serious. When she's assigned to work with Takeshi Yamamoto, a 35-year-old Japanese-American literary translator known for his meticulous perfectionism and emotional reserve, their professional collaboration begins with immediate friction-her spontaneous editing style clashes violently with his methodical approach to preserving authorial intent. As they're forced to work together on an urgent project translating and editing a controversial manuscript over the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, their constant arguments slowly reveal the deep wounds and fears they both carry: Deja's abandonment issues from a father who left when she was young and a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable men, and Takeshi's struggle with vulnerability after a broken engagement three years ago left him convinced he's incapable of meeting anyone's emotional needs. The story unfolds across intimate late-night editing sessions in Takeshi's cramped Brooklyn apartment, tense meetings in Deja's corner office overlooking Manhattan, and stolen moments in the rare bookshops and quiet corners of the city they both love, as they navigate professional respect bleeding into genuine friendship, and friendship igniting into something neither of them planned for but both desperately need-if only they can overcome their fears long enough to let each other in.

Fluorescent lights cast a dull glow across the glass walls, and the city sparkled below. She stretched in her chair, blouse pulling slightly as she arched her back. Her neck ached, her eyes burned-but she refused to leave without finishing the report. "Burning the midnight oil?" She jumped. Standing in the doorway was Mr. Knight-CEO of the company, her boss, the man who invaded her dreams far too often. He wasn't supposed to be here. Not this late. Not with his tie undone, shirt sleeves rolled up, and that look in his eyes. "I didn't hear you come in," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. He stepped inside, the door clicking shut behind him. The sound made her pulse quicken. "You told me the quarterly files were due," she added, gesturing to the screen.

When he reached out, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek, she didn't move away. She didn't want to. And when his lips hovered near hers-so close they barely touched-she whispered, "Maybe I just needed the right reason." He smiled, slow and wicked. "Then let me be your reason.
