Hanami

by V.C. Buckley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: New Adult, Romantic Suspense

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

SAKURA SHINTANI is the Dragon Clan heir-Japan's most notorious crime dynasty. But can she keep this fact a secret from the prying brats of Oniyuri Academy?

She tries to stay out of their radar while mastering her demons and keeping her murderous temper under control, but having the face of an angel only attracts everyone's attention... including the arrogant heir to Asia's most powerful tycoon, KENJIN KIYOHARA.

He senses the danger, but Sakura is too interesting to be left alone.

EXCERPT TWO:

He snatched her backpack and swung it around his shoulder.

“Hey!” she protested, lunging for it.

Jin stepped aside, evading her grasp. He smiled to himself, taking long strides toward his car. He could hear her feet going after him.

Mr. Fujimaru was already by the car, holding the door open. His guards stood waiting like goons by the sidewalk.

“Look,” she said, grabbing his elbow before he could duck into his car, “I don’t care if you rescued me. I am not going with you! I don’t even know you!”

Her words cut right through him.

She lunged for her bag again, but Jin threw it into the farthest corner of the back seat.

He looked at her tilting his head down, their height difference apparent. He thought about what she said.

She doesn’t know me? His forehead creased. Was he really that invisible to her? He felt like someone had just slapped him across the face. He took one long look at her before ducking into his car.

He was confused. Any girl would jump at the chance to be with him—she should have been honored and groveling at his feet for rescuing her! What was wrong with her?

He felt her slide into the seat next to him, her knees slightly touching the side of his thigh. But before he could think, she reached across him, leaning her upper body against his lap to grab her bag. Jin froze.

She straightened back up, clutching her bag to her chest. Her eyes met his with a piercing glare, and a wave of heat suddenly swept over him.

Jin looked away, landing his gaze on her reflection on the car door window. Even with an angry face, she still looked so beautiful.

Jin smiled, tilting his head to the side to get a better look. I should stop this, he told himself, but it was too late. She was too interesting to be left alone.

GUEST POST:

5 Reasons you should read HANAMI and fall in love with it:

1.) Because it’s a unique love story that hasn’t been told this way before.

-I’m sure you’ve heard the typical story of the arrogant heartthrob falling in love with the beautiful new student the moment their eyes met that first day of school. But this time, imagine that gorgeous new student was really a secret mob boss to a notorious crime family, and that arrogant heartthrob who is used to getting what he wants has no idea just how dangerous the new object of his attention is.

2.) Because Kenjin Kiyohara is HOT, with a capital H.

        …and he knows it…everybody knows it. How can he not when he has his own little mob of trailing fan-girls awaiting his arrival in school everyday.  But because of this, Kenjin Kiyohara expects all women to swoon when they see him. It happens often enough for him to safely expect so…until that first day of school, when he met the new girl for the first time. She didn’t seem to know who he was. And not only that… she looked like she wanted to kill him!

3.) Because Sakura Shintani is a Badass, and you need to meet her!

        -Being the sole heir to the Dragon Clan isn’t the only thing that makes Sakura a certified badass. She is highly skilled in weaponry and empty-hand combat. And not only does she have an angelic face, she has the brains to go with it too.

4.) Because you have to know what happens in the end.

        - That moment Kenjin and Sakura met is nothing compared to when Kenjin finally finds out what Sakura really was. Imagine discovering that the girl you’ve tried so hard to impress was part of a gang? And not just any gang, but one of the most notorious bloodthirsty gangs in the nation! And oh, did I mention she was the next Boss?

5.) Because it will make you want to fall in love.

        “How can I possibly be with anyone else after knowing you?…No one will ever be good enough!” –This was Kenjin’s infamous line to Sakura. Now imagine you were Sakura instead and someone said this to you… how will you respond? Take a guess at how Sakura answered him-You wouldn’t believe it!
