Inked
A fallen chef. A fixer with rules. A city that will eat them alive if they slip.
Reid Callahan walked out of Michelin kitchens in flames, trading knives for needles and fire for ink. His shop is clean, his rules are strict, and his past is viral infamy the internet refuses to forget. He does not need redemption. He needs silence, steel, and clients who respect the chair.
Asha Nwosu is hired to keep him untouchable. A fixer who thrives on order, she is paid to kill leaks, bury scandals, and hold her clients steady when the city tries to break them. She does not sleep with clients. She does not bend rules. She does not lose.
But in the quiet between headlines and needle hum, want takes shape. Sharp. Hungry. Dangerous.
