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.
