Smoky Red Taboo

The Empress of Japan has enlisted the aid of relationship expert Malia Isakawa to help find out why her thirty-year-old son, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, hasn't stepped up to the plate to get to know his fiancee, Rika Takaki. In two weeks, Rika will be eighteen years old, and Chei and her husband plan to officially announce the engagement to the world. Hiroshi has never done what is expected of him. He takes one look at Malia Isakawa and falls head over heels in love with the African-American beauty, and suddenly the fate of the Japanese Empire might be in jeopardy. Malia, on the other hand, has always considered herself a professional and didn't plan to become the love interest of not only one but two Japanese princes. Can she fix this mess, or will she not only cause an international scandal but also break up a family?
