The only thing sweeter than a secret is revenge

A family becomes an assassin's target after a crime lord's sister is brutally murdered in Kaylin McFarren's latest erotic, psychological thriller, Twisted Threads.
Akira Hamada, a beautiful Japanese geisha, failed at killing Kaito Mitsui two years ago - the same yakuza gang leader who destroyed her lover and forced her to become an assassin. Now, with his sister's murderer traveling to the Caribbean on a cruise ship, Akira has ten days at sea to identify her target and complete her assignment as her penance, or face her own death.
Devon Lyons, unaware that his aunt and uncle could be singled out and murdered, brings Akira into their lives. In searching for evidence to justify Mitsui's revenge, she soon discovers that no one is who they seem to be. All the while, Devon is drawn into the mystery of mounting deaths on board the ship, putting his own life at risk.
With killers on the loose and no avenue for escape, tension is ratcheted to a breaking point, forcing everyone to choose between love and loyalty - or deeply held honor - in order to survive.

CHARACTER PROFILE of Akira Hamada

As told in Buried Threads, Akira Hamada is actually Mariko Abe, a stunning, intelligent, and talented 28-year-old geisha. She loved a young Buddhist monk, who could marry in his sect, but demands on his time left them separated for long periods of time. As a result, she accepted a contract by a wealthy sponsor to act as his mistress in exchange for covering her living expenses and her adoptive mother’s overdue debts. When her sponsor was mysteriously killed by an unknown assailant, she believed the leader of a Yakuza family was responsible and attempted to poison him at her teahouse. After she failed, he forced her to become a trained seducer and deadly assassin in exchange for keeping her mother alive. This extreme life change has turned her into a distrusting, heartless woman who longs for her freedom at any cost.
