Ethan St. Claire is an astute and wildly successful business man from the West who has carefully honed everything in his life to show the world what he wants them to see. He has taken care to hide a past that he is not proud of, and the shell he's developed as protection only cracks when he meets Su Mi, a stunningly beautiful and talented North Korean songstress.

Both struggle with the awakening of buried passions but, once fully awakened, those passions create a bond that is strong enough to help them fight the forces that threaten to tear them apart.

The reclusive, all-controlling State of North Korea, under the command of their Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un, will do everything in their power to keep one of their star performers from leaving their domain.

Ethan, desperate to win the freedom of his beloved Su Mi will use his tremendous wealth and cunning to get her out, no matter what the cost.

"A wonderful story of how an initial infatuation between two people of vastly different cultures blossoms into an abiding love that rescues each from their own particular demons. The dangers they face to overcome deadly oppositions to their union makes for an exciting read."
