Paranormal / Fantasy Romance
Date Published: April 5, 2018
“A human and a vampire. An Assassin and his target. They made an impossibility possible, despite his past, despite their present. They had the future—they had Eternity.”
Ryu Takamura is the Dark Ones’ Assassin. He has never missed his target…until now. Until her.
Ava Monroe is a talented geneticist who holds the key to the vampire race’s future…and perhaps her own as well.
Their attraction is explosive from the first. She would do anything to have him. He would sacrifice all to protect her.
But will their love triumph over seemingly impossible odds as they battle enemies new and old? Especially the demons from Ryu’s past? And deep within his heart?

10 Things Reader's Would Be Surprised To Know About Me
- I was born in China, and came to the U.S. at age 7 with a traveling theatre group touring top universities around the world.
- I’ve studied, worked or lived on all 7 continents except Antarctica.
- I’ve been brought up by white American families, African American families, lived with Latin American families (married to an Argentinean) and Asian families.
- My favorite before bed treat is a pint of Häagen-Dazs (white chocolate raspberry truffle) and a bag of Lays Sour Cream and Onion potato chips. Every night. Until I gain 10 pounds, after which I stop until I sort of lose the weight and come back to it again when I can no longer help myself.
- My second favorite snack is Cha Cha Five-spice sunflower seeds. I can go through a whole bag like a bird with a machine-gun beak while binge watching whatever drama series I’m currently hooked on (right now it’s Sons of Anarchy).
- My childhood dream (aside from becoming a best-selling novelist) was to get married at age 21 and have 7 children with the love of my life, 6 boys, 1 girl (the youngest).
- If I had one super power it’s to speak, read and write any language. I want to speak fluently like a native. I want to be able to communicate with anyone in the world and build meaningful relationships through a common language.
- My pen name Aja is a combination of my best friend’s heritage (Swedish) and my own heritage (Asian). Aja is a Nordic name pronounced as “Asia.” And James is simply to make it less exotic :P Aja also happens to be an Indian baby name meaning goat.
- My birth name means “Not of this World,” or “ethereal.” And I was named after a famous male artist.
- I’ve been to more than a dozen schools before my teens because I moved around so much. The shortest time was one day, and the teachers felt so sorry for me (because I didn’t even have a lunch) that they cooked me up a fried egg sandwich, which I thought was the best thing ever!
About the Author
Aja has been writing stories since the age of six, and novels since the age of thirteen. While she'd be the first to admit that those early efforts weren't particularly good, she sure loved putting them down on paper!
The best part of writing, according to Aja, is that it’s completely organic, the way the stories develop. When the inspiration hits, she writes just so she herself can learn where the characters are headed because oftentimes, they take her by surprise! It is her ultimate dream to share her stories with as many readers as she possibly can.
Her other loves include art, cooking, old movies (anything with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Clark Gable, and all the song and dance numbers because she can’t watch them and not be happy!)
She adores taking long walks with her husband and running after her two rambunctious kids. She has traveled extensively (all seven continents except Antarctica) and has had a multi-cultural upbringing. She speaks two and a half languages and binge watch TV shows when the mood strikes.
Aja has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Comparative Literature and Economics and two Master’s degrees, one of which is in East Asian Studies.
