The Shadow and the Star (Victorian Hearts, #2)
Laura Kinsale
THE SHADOW Wealthy, powerful and majestically handsome, he is a man of dark secrets--a master of the ancient martial arts of an exotic distant land. Scarred by a childhood of shocking degradation, he has sworn to love chastely... but burns with the fires of unfulfilled passion. THE STAR Lovely, innocent and nearly destitute, she is drawn to him by a fevered yearning she could never deny -- following her enigmatic "shadow warrior" into a dangerous world of desire and righteous retribution.

11/28/15: I love this book, but find myself impatient with anything other than Samuel and Leda's present. And just as things come to a climax between them, Japanese politics intrude. Still, a miraculous romance for these two. Between Samuel's past and Leda's propriety, I held my breath the whole book, wanting them to be together despite the minefield of misunderstandings and unspoken yearnings they had to navigate.
