What happens when a diplomat and a reporter leave behind their real lives to journey into the heart of Japan and discover the meaning of pleasure? Dakota Montgomery has spent her life looking under the surface to find the truth and writing award-winning stories about the international events the world needed to hear. With her new assignment covering the U.S.-Japan trade talks, she's been asked to help find a traitor. With the clock ticking and the suspect list ever growing, can she keep her focus and complete her story when everyone has something to hide? Blake Holland never dreamed of a life outside of his work. Having grown up on the wrong side of the blankets and on the poorest side of the tracks, he managed through hard work and determination to amass both a fortune and considerable global political clout. Now the newly appointed Assistant U.S. Trade Representative must help avert a trade war while keeping the reputation of his team from being compromised by press. But will his growing obsession with a beautiful reporter lead to his downfall or his freedom?
