Teaching English in Japan had always been a goal of Jamie's once he'd finished his university studies. But scoring a job in Kyoto was like a dream come true...right up until it wasn't.

When asked to practice conversationalist English with a wealthy, older Kyoto businessman—Gou Kitayama—Jamie couldn't say no, and he quickly struck up a friendship with his new client. A friendship that slowly evolved into something more... something Jamie hadn't expected, nor intended to happen.

He'd come to teach not fall in love.

Yet Gou is no ordinary businessman, and dangerous secrets lay hidden under the expensive suits he wears.

But the truth will always come out, and when it does will Jamie run or stay?

And will he have a choice?
