KITSUNE by Lila Dubois The legend that found me Joe is your everyday average Joe fighting his heritage, his language, his culture, and his life. Yet when Joe is confronted with his past by a woman in his present, he is forced to confront all that he has built his adult life around. Joe must fight his lust for the woman with his denial of himself.

Joe's story ends much as any other, just another miserable day, however this day is the one day of the year that marks the day of his Japanese mother's death. Joe has struggled with losing every part of himself since that day, from changing his name to dating blonde bombshells. When Joe wakes up to a naked Japanese woman calling him Takai, his memory lapses and he has no idea how this house guest moved her way into his life.

Sakura is a legend come to life, for she is one of the kami, or a servant of the gods. As a kitsune, Sakura is gifted with powers to aide her in bringing Takai back to his heritage. Finding herself in the "real" world for the first time, Sakura soon finds that by meeting all of Takai's needs, she can also feed her appetites as well. Will Sakura be able to bring Takai back to his roots? Or will she lose her heart to the man known as Joe?

Dubois is able to bring Japanese language, culture, and folklore to life in this steamy story of two people trying to find themselves in each other.
