Life...Love...Loyalty Can she ever have what she truly desires? "I always knew that my marriage would be forged because of alliances and duties, but I never expected my heart to be stolen long before I was meant to be wed. My heart never longed for the embrace of a man accustomed to war and violence. It pined for the soft embrace of a man who loved the quiet and peace, but the fickle thing can never have what it wants because the daughter of a shogun must follow her father's wishes above her own." Fujioka Rika knew that eventually her father would choose a husband from among the young sons of his allies. She can never tell him that she would prefer a man that once tended crops outside of the Fujioka fortress and is now one of her father's retainers, a man who only picked up the sword to be close to her. And she certainly cannot admit that her heart is broken to anyone now that he has died on the battlefield. However, when Lord Amachi Junichi confides a secret in Rika, she finds that there may be a way to be both the daughter of a shogun and the wife of a peaceful man. Weaving herself into the web of half-truths and lies, Rika finds that her heart's desire may have put her in danger more than she thought it would. Falling in love was the easy part, but staying in love may prove to be the challenge. Book 1.5 of the Kakureta Hana series All Rights Reserved

Bloodshed...Birthright...Betrayal. Can he ever discover the truth? "The first and only time that I dared to call Igarashi Sakura 'Mother', she placed a hand across my mouth and pulled me close. For a long moment, she was silent, no part of her moving except for her chest and the tears that fell from her eyes. Finally, she leaned close to my ear, whispering, 'Swallow those words, Kazuhiko, for your mother is not me. She died years ago, and the moment someone hears you call me that, all of our lives shall be forfeit.'" The young Lord Amachi Kazuhiko never questioned why his father's once-loyal general and his wife raised him. He never questioned why the last of his father's advisers was given control of the clan until he came of age and not one of his dead mother's brothers. That is until he returns from battle to find his not-mother Sakura has been captured...on the battlefield. Setting off on a journey to help Ryuu rescue his wife awakens questions that Kazuhiko never knew existed, and he begins to seek answers. Where did he truly come from? Why did the general betray his father? How did Sakura come to be on the battlefield? And what was with the girl that looked eerily similar to him? The truth may set him free, but it may also kill him in the meantime. Book Two of the Kakureta Hana series All Right Reserved
