Blade in the Snow: the Winds of Love Blow Cold with Change... Mr Aaron Louis Pinsky

Publisher Marketing: Shun Miyamoto is the prodigal son of one of the Emperor's staunchest supporters on modernizing Japan as the Bakumatsu Era draws a close. As both a scholar and a warrior, the young man believes that the key to Japan's success is through cooperation with the Western world: a notion that made him a target for assassination. But instead of killing Shun, the assassin fell in love with him, abandoning her duty as a killer to become the honorary daughter-in-law of the Miyamoto house. But in order for the two of them to be wed, Shun must subjugate her former clan: the fearsome "Black Sun" whose ranks can only be described as superhuman. Not only that, but Shun must also contend with the infamous Oliver "Loverman" Lacey, a vicious gunslinging outlaw from America, who shares a common history with the young Miyamoto: both of them have the same kiss-shaped scar branded on their body... Combining romance, action, samurai fiction, westerns, and fantasy, "Blade in the Snow" promises to excite, intrigue, and plunge the reader into a world where the old ways of swordfights and magic transition into the world of guns and science, as well as a young couple's quest to find happiness even when circumstances try to tear them apart.
