Edith came from a prestigious family. She was a cello teacher. She had the love and attention of a handsome all-American man. But when a new mysterious man moved in across the street from her in the middle of the night, he caught her attention.
Tadashi ventured to America to start a new life away from the hardships, and heartache of Imperialistic Japan. Descending from both Russian and Japanese bloodlines, he bore the brunt of the growing tensions in California as the world edged closer and closer to war.
Edith soon discovered that Tadashi was a gentle giant, who adored her and not long after, she realises she adores him too.
Can their love survive the racial tensions? And what will happen when Pearl harbour is destroyed?

Is this forbidden love another sacrifice she has to suffer through? For nineteen years, Kira Evans put her family above her own interests.

Finishing high school in a sixth form college, she doesn't know how to make friends, relate to others, or even understand them after the horrors she's been through. Reizu Atkinson is not your average run-of-the-mill teacher. Half Japanese, half English, he knows from experience what it's like to feel alienated in a new place, unable to trust or understand others. The pair is brought together by their similarities, and Reizu becomes the only one Kira can trust when life throws her curveball after curveball. When push comes to shove, are rules meant to be broken, or is this another sacrifice that Kira will have to make? (This book is on sale at Smashwords, as well.)

And all it took was a strong wind to blow her off course. Japan had always been home to him. The mountains, the fields, the little village nearby. He had grown up with it all.
