    Summary

    Five years is a long time to mourn someone who isn't dead.

    For Dylan, it’s been 1,845 days of wondering why Junn, the person who promised him a life, vanished before they could start it.

    As a prosecutor for white-collar crimes, he spends his days dissecting fraud—until he catches a glimpse of a familiar face in a file he was never meant to open. It’s not art, and it's not his case, but the man staring back from the surveillance photo is unmistakable.

    The Junn who came back isn't the boy Dylan loved. He's the cold-blooded head of a mafia empire, and Dylan has no business touching.

    Dylan knows the law, but he knows the weight of that five-year silence better. Choosing to save the man who destroyed him is an instinct he can't fight, even if it means crossing every line he’s ever drawn.

    When Dylan chooses to protect the Alpha who discarded him, he puts more than just his license on the line. He has to reconcile the man he’s trying to save with the ghost who broke his heart—all while protecting the one piece of their past that Junn doesn't know he left behind.
