Toji Fushiguro has three rules. Never trust anyone too easily. Never let emotions interfere with business. And never give anyone a reason to discover what he truly cares about. As the head of one of the city’s most dangerous mafia organizations, Toji has spent years building an empire that thrives on fear, money, and loyalty. He’s ruthless, untouchable, and perfectly content with the life he’s created. Until his four-year-old son starts daycare. Enter Y/N: a sweet, patient daycare teacher with a bright smile, a soft spot for children, and absolutely no idea who she’s dealing with. To her, Toji is simply Megumi’s intimidating, ridiculously attractive father. A man who wears expensive suits, makes sarcastic comments, and somehow manages to turn every pickup into an unnecessarily long conversation. Toji, meanwhile, has developed a rather inconvenient habit of showing up early. He tells himself it’s for Megumi. The coffee he brings Y/N? Coincidence. The way he remembers every little thing she says? Nothing important. And the fact that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her? A problem he’ll deal with later. But when a man who has built his entire life around keeping people at a distance begins falling for a woman who knows nothing about his world, even the smallest secret can become dangerous. Especially when she starts asking questions. Because Toji Fushiguro might be the devil to everyone else. But somehow, his son’s teacher is becoming his favorite weakness. And the devil has never been particularly good at letting go. A mafia romance featuring a dangerous single father, an obliviously charming daycare teacher, an adorable little boy, slow-burn tension, jealousy, secrets, and a love neither of them planned for.

The daycare smelled like crayons, fruit snacks, and the faint, stubborn ghost of spilled apple juice.
