Water Lily — Susanna Jones

With her slender back held rigid against the wind, a beautiful Japanese girl stands on the deck of the Shanghai ferry and looks down at the churning currents. Hiding near the doorway, an Englishman watches the girl, who looks like she owns the night itself. He's been on a quest to find the perfect Asian bride. Now he believes his search is over. As a burning eroticism develops between these two strangers, Ralph and Runa are about to break all barriers of intimacy...even as they struggle to hide devastating secrets. And their desperate desires will explode in a climax as dark, profound, and terrible as the waters around them...
