Dragons and Debts: A M/M Yakuza Romance

Ink and Honor #2

by Marian Black

Saito Takumi has spent eighteen months drowning under an impossible debt inherited from his father's suicide—working three jobs, hiding the truth from his teenage sister Mei, and slowly dying from exhaustion. When a confrontation with yakuza collectors catches the attention of Matsuda Ryuichi, the powerful oyabun of the Yamamoto-kai clan, Takumi's life takes an unexpected turn.

Matsuda offers him a become his personal financial advisor, live in the yakuza compound, and the debt payments pause. What seems like salvation becomes complicated when attraction sparks between the young financial genius and the yakuza boss who hasn't loved anyone since his wife's death eight years ago.

As Takumi navigates the dangerous world of organized crime while restructuring Matsuda's legitimate businesses, external threats emerge. The rival Suzuki-gumi clan claims ownership of his debt, forcing Takumi and Matsuda to uncover the truth about his father's death—a truth that reveals betrayal from within the Yamamoto-kai itself.
