Charlene Alfred, a forty-one year old African American author, is about to have her best-selling novel about a jaded Japanese rock star turned into a television miniseries. Unfortunately, there’s a catch—the financial backers of the film insist upon casting a popular Japanese pop star in the lead role. If she doesn’t agree to their terms, they’ll scrap the project.

Twenty-four year old Japanese pop sensation Kane has been living his entire career under the controlling thumb of his mentor. Finally, he's landed the role of a lifetime, a role that could be what he needs to shed his current pampered pop-star status. He’s been told that Charlene not only believes he's too young for the novel’s crucial role, but also too spoiled. Rising to the challenge, he makes it his mission to change her mind.

In beautiful Tokyo, a city of cutting-edge technology and centuries-old traditions, Kane and Charlene risk their careers and lives to expose buried secrets, finding a deep and powerful connection that defied all logic and reasoning. Two people who do not belong together cannot resist their growing attraction. But will their love be strong enough to fight the ghosts of the past?
