AN UNCONVENTIONAL ROMANCE...
At eighteen, Yoko Hirano falls prey to a human trafficking organization and is forced into a lifestyle nightmares are made of. When the young Japanese girl escapes, her only focus is exacting revenge and saving other girls from the same fate by bringing down Michael Chen, the powerful mobster who destroyed her innocence.
BETWEEN TWO MISFITS...
Four years later she meets antiques dealer Mark Chandler, the only man who ever treated her with respect. Though she is torn by her unfamiliar feelings for him, Yoko’s grand scheme doesn’t involve falling in love, and a man like Mark would never want her if he discovered her past. What she doesn’t know is that he has his own dark secrets...
BROUGHT TOGETHER BY LOVE AND REVENGE.
Mark never thought he could lose his head over a woman, but the haunted eyes of his beautiful new employee fill his soul with desire and tenderness. When he learns about what had happened to her, his vengeance knows no limits. Nor does his resolve to help her heal and discover love.

Tonight’s john liked rough sex, but Yoko knew it would be a short ride. James had remained one of her few select clients because he had a small, almost harmless penis and very low endurance when it came to sex. So she moaned her false pleasure, knowing exactly what to do to make him finish quickly. It took no more than a couple of minutes, after which she gave him an insincere smile and praised his sexual performance. In her mind, she’d already dismissed him.
After he left, she stepped into the shower to scrub her skin and erase all trace of him. She’d convinced herself there was no reason to feel dirty because of what she did. It was just a job, one that paid the bills and paved the way to the future she wanted. But being a prostitute was no ordinary occupation. As she scoured her body, she fought to detach herself from it, her mind drifting back four years to the time it had all started.
She’d been an eager eighteen-year-old lured to the United States by the promise of well-paid work. Her family had been thrilled when their neighbor’s daughter, Otsu, had landed a job as a babysitter in New York City. When Yoko had asked her for the details, the girl had introduced her to Wu Chen, who represented an international employment agency.
Chen had told her he could find her a job in a nursing home or as a housekeeper. Not the future she dreamed of, but she agreed since getting to the States was the first step. Her mind had thrilled at the life she could have in America and the way the salary he’d offered could help her family.
Everything had seemed so perfect. Newly graduated from high school, no immediate plans in place for the future, she and Otsu had seen this opportunity as a gift from Buddha. How wrong they’d been.
