Dangerous Devotion: A Yakuza Romance

By Elizabeth Claire Devereaux

Jes Hart's life fits inside a single sentence: quiet bookstore, small Midwest town, safe routines.

Then she sees a man get shot in the snow.

The body disappears.
The police don't believe her.
But the killer knows she exists.

Hiro Tanaka was raised inside the Yakuza. Precision. Control. Eliminate witnesses.

He was supposed to erase her.

Instead, he installs new locks on her doors.

What begins as surveillance turns into protection. Protection turns into proximity. And proximity turns into something neither of them can afford.

Because in Hiro's world, loyalty is paid in blood. And his superiors have one rule:

Loose ends don't get love stories.

As danger closes in and rival threats emerge, Jes must decide if she's willing to trust a man capable of violence for her... and whether loving him means becoming part of his darkness.

Dangerous Devotion is a morally gray mafia romance featuring protective hero energy, emotional intensity, slow-burn chemistry, and a heroine who refuses to be fragile.
