Books like Fire and ice by Edith Layton
Jilly Lovitz, a brilliant and elegant intellectual, leaves behind a failed love affair and travels to Tokyo to find solace and accompany her sister, Summer. Instead of a quiet recovery, she is abducted on a motorcycle and narrowly escapes a brutal execution that was intended for her sister and brother‑in‑law. Rescued by Reno, the Committee’s most unpredictable agent, Jilly enters a perilous web of assassination attempts, kidnappings, and prisoner exchanges. Their fraught attraction—mixing a tattooed Yakuza punk and a slender California scholar—tests their alliance as danger escalates and their partnership faces the chill of betrayal.
