Summary

Manhattan, 1930. Y/N Everhart is one of the most feared women in New York-a cold and powerful mafia leader who rules from the shadows. But behind her empire lies a past no one knows about. Four years ago, her father was killed by the government for a crime he never committed, leaving behind a dying wife and eight young daughters. With no one left to protect them, Y/N stepped into a world of blood, money, and power to keep her family alive. Now Detective Jeon Jungkook is given one mission: uncover how Y/N became the woman who controls Manhattan. He expects to find a ruthless criminal. Instead, he discovers a woman shaped by pain, sacrifice, and secrets. The closer Jungkook gets to the truth, the closer he gets to Y/N-and neither of them realizes that the investigation meant to destroy her may become the very thing that makes them fall for each other. But in a city built on lies, falling in love with the enemy may be the most dangerous secret of all.

\(^ヮ^)/

They say shadows are where secrets go to die.

But hers...

were never meant to be found.

She had a name.

A family.

A life she was supposed to live.

Until one night took everything from her.

And the girl who survived that night...

𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

Now Manhattan knows her by another name.

A name whispered behind closed doors.

A name powerful men refuse to challenge.

A name the law has tried to erase...

but never could.

Then came 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞.

He was given a file.

One woman.

One investigation.

One past that should have been impossible to uncover.

He thought he was searching for a criminal.

She knew better.

Because there are things buried beneath blood...

things hidden behind beautiful smiles...

things even the most powerful men are afraid to remember.

And when his investigation brings him closer to her...

he begins to realize something.

She isn't afraid of being caught.

She's afraid of what he might discover.

Because the truth about Y/N Everhart...

isn't that she became a monster.

It's who made her one.

And perhaps...

the most dangerous secret in Manhattan...

isn't hiding in the shadows.

It's the woman standing inside them.
