Brian doesn't do relationships...long-term commitment...or whatever you want to name it. His dates were chosen based on their usefulness and nothing more. A judge's son, a lawyer's daughter, or his colleague who worked in the evidence locker...anyone who'd either help him solve a case or make inconvenient evidence disappear. Because family came first and keeping his father and his cronies out of jail was a fulltime job by itself.
But then his best friend Jamie returns from Japan bringing chaose to Brian's world in the form of Kennosuke Kitayama. And what harm could come from indulging in a summer fling with the younger Japanese man? Brian could have his fun, then Kennosuke would leave, and his life would return to normal.
Fate had other plans.
And so does Brian's father.
A desire for power sees Brian's father seek an alliance with the Kyoto based yakuza organisation his best friend Jamie has ties to, thrusting Kennosuke back into Brian's life. Feelings he'd tried to deny get yanked to the surface once more. And when the deal goes south, Brian needs to make a choice: remain a police officer or throw his career aside to rescue Kennosuke?
Crossing the Line is a spin off book of The Yakuza and the English Teacher Series that involves one hard-headed, committment-phobe police officer, and an equally stubborn yakuza heir. It features a best friend's nephew, and enemy hellbent on revenge, dangerous encounters, and a fake marriage that neither wants out of...once they stop being stubborn.
