"You don't belong here." His voice challenged her even in the way it rose up and down threatening her. Telling her that he wanted her to leave. He was upset with her. Why wouldn't he be? She'd wrecked everything. She'd wrecked him.

That was all she'd been good for. That was her purpose.

So why did she feel like crying when she saw him in front of her? Why did she want to save him? And why did she want to turn her back on everything she'd learned all her life to have him trust her again?

Tomomasa Rie has always wanted to be a cop and she's on her way to becoming the most stellar officer in Tokyo after busting a large drug ring in Akihabara.

But when she goes undercover to stop a large cocaine shipment from entering the country Rie gets trapped in her new identity, the Takuya clan's family issues and under the hold of the very dangerous Ikuta Toma, who can't decide whether he wants to kill her...or kiss her.

She lives with the echoes of a decision that was made so long ago that it's hardly relevant to her life anymore. At least, that's how it should be in her mind but- it isn't. It's always going to be there and she's always going to regret it.

He lives his life furious, upset and downright depressed about the way the woman he once loved with all his heart handled his flaws. This woman ignored every right that he had as her boyfriend, she broke his heart to heal her own, and she made decisions for him that they could never take back.

One mismatched date, two meddlesome best friends and a whole lot of havoc later Christine and Yamapi are about to realize what it means to let go of the past and live in the gift that is their today.

It was the strangest sensation he had ever experienced.

Strange how every part of their bodies seemed like latches and locks made to click into place together.

Like together they existed as one whole person.

Two writers are about to realize that what started as a petty rivalry to dominate over each other has turned into something else entirely as they find inspiration in one another and ruin everything that they've fought so hard to get.

After all...isn't love the best climax to fight for?

This is a collection of short stories about lives of ordinary women who love, lose, and let go.

Christine has a secret, Yamapi has a new lover, Talia and Lillith don't know what to do, and GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS.

She was a prisoner in her own home.
She may love her father but she needed her freedom.
Running away is her only solution.
Ayumu Hamano starts a new life.
She gets a job, meets a friend and a possible first love?
And all the while trying to hide from her three bodyguards her father sent to find her and bring her back.

Ikuta Toma spends time with his girlfriend who has no sense of dressing up nicely.

There was a legacy, of an art piece so valuable that entire generations were pledged to guard it from falling into the wrong hands. There are families with so many secrets they don't have enough cupboards to hide their skeletons. There are some people who fight, and kill... in the name of love.
