When a Kimura has you in their sights, there's nowhere you can hide. As a single mother of two, I will do anything, and I mean anything for my children. Even if it means sacrificing my dreams of independence after my husband's death by moving in with my mother-in-law. She hates me, but she loves my son and daughter. When an opportunity arises to escape her relentless criticisms for one week, I grab it. But nothing could prepare me for meeting Katsuo Kimura. He's rude and ruthless, but he ignites a passion in me I've never experienced. I know he's part of the Japanese mafia and our one night together should be just that. I go home to my complicated life, thinking I'll never see him again. But life is never predictable, and neither is a Kimura who's claimed me for himself.
