When Rebecca returns to a motel to meet a drug dealer and hand over his share of a cocaine deal, she discovers a murder victim in the King's Rest Hotel. Raul, a member of the Mexican drug cartel, is not there, so she decides to keep the money, knowing that the murderer is a former felon from San Quintin, Mexico.
Seeking help, she turns to a local Tai Chi Chuan instructor, who teaches her the movements known as the "cranes of the animal frolics." As she learns, her body becomes stronger and more attractive-an extreme transformation.
With her new skills and makeover, she travels to Cambodia to escape the impending threat of the murder and the botched cocaine deal she witnessed. Upon returning to the United States, she finds herself entangled in a world of espionage, uncovering some of the darkest secrets of corruption in the world.

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
