CRIMSON
FOOTPRINTS

BLURB:
When an insecure, bi-racial
woman begins a cloak-and-dagger love affair with a Japanese American man, she
is intent on keeping her bigoted family in the dark—albeit with devastating
consequences. On the night of her brother’s murder, Deena Hammond stumbles upon
Takumi Tanaka, lost and on the wrong end of a .32. After rescuing him from the
certain fate driving through the hood in a Porsche will bring, a sweet kind of
friendship begins. A balm for her grief. Maybe, Deena likes to think, it
happened the day her white mother killed her black father. Or maybe, it was
always a part of them, like DNA gone bad. Whatever the case, Deena knows that
her family would never approve, hell, never acknowledge her fast-growing love
for Takumi. And had he never made love to her that way, in that unraveling,
soul-searching sort of way, she could’ve done the same. But love’s a devil that
way. So, their game begins. One where they hide what they are from everyone.
Anyone. And Tak understands this—for now. After all, Deena’s career hinges on
the favor of her mentor and boss, his hard-ass of a father. And the Hammond
family is already stretched thin with grief. Yet, each step Deena takes toward
family and career brings her closer to an acceptance she’s never had. And away
from him.
