Masaki and Oshun met at a club. What was intended to be a one-night stand become more. Fast forward 3 months and Masaki asks Oshun to move in with him. He thinks she is a waitress. She thinks he is a real estate developer. In reality, Masaki is the head of the Yakuza in Brooklyn and Oshun the head of her gang (in Brooklyn; Brownsville).
Even though both characters are on the wrong side of the law (if you look at things as strictly black and white), I thought it instead was very gray and their intentions were good (improve the lives of the people that live there). Individual opinions/perspectives/intent all play factors. I really liked Masaki and Oshun. They worked well together. This was well paced and plotted. Plenty of sex too, but the plot didn't suffer for it. Very engaging read and I will seek out more by this author.
