Miki Patterson took a job at a Japanese inn expecting to have an interesting life in an exotic land. Instead she became a transplanted Cinderella to a violent, lecherous employer and sought refuge in her dreams, in the arms of a shadowy samurai who thrilled her in ways no living man ever had.
Yamaguchi Toshinada was a spirit who could not rest over the guilt that he failed in caring for his fiancée and her family following the overthrow of their domain during Japan's 19th century civil war. When she returns to him in the mortal world he will do anything to keep her safe and remain by her side in anyway he can.
Is Miki up to what it takes to move beyond dreams and into the arms of her Samurai?
