When her father's forces fall to the imperial army, Tama
has no choice but to leave Japan before her enemies find
her. Disguised as a peasant boy, she makes her way to the
city's fabled pleasure quarter, where anything and anyone
is for sale and no request is forbidden. There she finds
the one man who can take her to Paris, former gunrunner
Captain Hugh Drummond. For the privilege of his
protection, she's willing to pay him handsomely…in
whatever currency he desires…
Intrigued
Taking on a daimyo's beautiful—and willing—daughter may
have seemed a fine idea at the time, but now, dodging
assassins, spies, and the police while waiting for his
cargo, Hugh has other ideas. The lady is as sharp of
tongue as she is skilled with a sword. But once she's in
his bed, the captain is overcome by a desire to protect
Tama—and ravage her—in equal measure…
Uncontrolled
In a country teeming with danger, where no one can be
trusted, the line between royalty and commoner will melt
under passion's heat...strangers will become lovers...and
uninhibited pleasure will offer love's only refuge...
