Blades & Shadows

Fast cars. Sharp steel. Forbidden heat.

She drives to survive.
He’s a ninja with blood on his blades.
Survival was never meant to feel this intoxicating.

Ava Miller thought a two–week chauffeur job in D.C. would buy her stability: a spotless car, polite smiles, and just enough money to keep her head above water.

Hiraku of the Kōga Clan lives by steel and shadow. Blades are his ritual. Silence is his weapon. But when Ava’s reckless driving pulls them both out of an ambush, he sees more than a survivor—he sees fire worth protecting.

Now the streets of Virginia and D.C. are crawling with enemies. Every safehouse is a trap waiting to spring. Ava witnesses firsthand how lethal Hiraku can be. Hiraku knows Ava is dangerous in her own way. And with a high-profile client caught between them, neither may live through what comes next…unless they risk everything on each other.

Gears and Blades is a high-octane ninja romance that cuts deep—where desire collides with danger, and love may be the most lethal risk of all.
