Book Description

Anna Marie is an orphaned English woman living in China. She has become addicted to the opium her adopted father sells -- to the point where she's lost her will to exist. Zhi-Gang has been charged by the Emperor to rid China of the evil opium, and his work brings him into Anna's life. His life changes when he meets Anna, yet her addiction and his mission create danger as Zhi finds he may have to kill the woman he loves to please his ruler.

The rules of race and politics come into play in this novel. Zhi cannot kill a white woman, but he can kill a wife, so he marries Anna. The romance in this novel comes from each character's ability to build trust while letting go of the past.
