Two women from different cultures and centuries - and both samurai
Bebe Bell is a modern Englishwoman who is living in Japan and time-slipped into the mind of samurai, Kai Matsuda, who is fighting in the 1860’s for the future of his country in its civil war which changed the world forever. In her own life, Bebe meets Kenji, a young man who has a secret he cannot reveal to anyone ... not even to Bebe as they fall in love. Can she risk telling him she is also a samurai in another time?
Yoshi is a young aristocratic woman forced to disguise herself as samurai in order to survive the war as it surrounds her and her country decides its fate. She meets Kai when he has Bebe in his mind. This changes everything as Kai finds himself more and more attracted to Yoshi. But Yoshi is ambitious and has no time for a lowly samurai like Kai. When all their paths converge no one can foresee the outcome.
Vivid writing … opened doors to the world of samurai - Amazon reviewer.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Book One of the continuing story of the Secret Samurai Trilogy. Two women samurai . . . two different centuries. A story of secrets, lies, love, war and ambition that has consequences for Japan itself. Modern Englishwoman, Bebe Bell, is working in Japan. Time-travel mixes her mind with male samurai, Kai Matsuda. Soon, she is living a double life - her own in modern Japan - and the other living as Kai, fighting in the civil war of the 1860's which changed Japan and consequently, the world. Yoshi is a young woman forced to disguise herself as a samurai in order to survive. Living as a man gives her influence and respect, things she has never experienced as a woman of her time. She becomes intoxicated with the power of it - which takes her life down undreamed of paths. Circumstances bring her into the world of Kai and the attraction between them is immediate, but they are fighting on opposing sides and Yoshi can never disclose her true sex to anyone, especially Kai: but he has Bebe in his mind and events take unexpected turns. In her own life, Bebe falls in love with Kenji Yoshida, a man who hides his true self under a cloak of conventionality and is afraid to find joy in his life. He has a secret that is destroying him and he cannot allow himself to love Bebe. When these four people's lives intermingle, it changes their perceptions, reality and ambitions.
