Books like The Blonde Geisha by Jina Bacarr
The heavy rainy season of 1892 in Japan, called Plum Rain, sets the stage for Kathlene Mallory’s escape from a threat to her father’s life. She finds safety at the Tea House of the Look‑Back Tree, where she is introduced to the clandestine world of the geisha.
Under the tutelage of learned masters, Kathlene undergoes rigorous training in the art of pleasure and embraces the sensual traditions that are reserved for a select few. As her desire grows, she prepares for the final ritual that will allow her to become a geisha—selling her virginity—though the man who offers it, Baron Tonda, presents both opportunity and peril to her and the teahouse.
