Suyama had a plan: join the police, work her way up the ranks until she worked alongside Morita Kurematsu, and then make the detective hers.
What her plan hadn't included: was falling for Ieyasu Tonagawa, a man she'd envied since the age of eighteen becuase Morita shared his bed at night and not hers... a man she'd hated from the moment a judges gavel had seen her father incarcerated for a crime Tonagawa had committed.
But plans had a way of changing, excpet her half-decade-old grudge shouldnt have been so easily cast aside. And nothing could have prepared her for the betrayal that awaited her in Hokkaido by Hanyuu, the man who'd long supported her desire for vengeance against Tonagawa.
Trapped in a nightmare of her own making, one phone call could see that all change. One call that would see her plans deviate from their intended course. There'd be no more running. Not from her past or the uncertain future that lay before her. And whether that future included both Tonagawa and Morita... that was up to the fates to decide.
Deviation is the second book in the Nagoya Crimes Triology. It is a 53k Dark MMF Yakuza Romance that ends with a cliffhanger.
