The Yakuza hit suburban America in this contemporary teen romance.

“Originality:10 out of 10…blends a coming-of-age, teen romance, and Japanese-flavored criminal thriller into one.” -BookLife

Seventeen-year-old James was just another nobody… until a series of bold, life-changing decisions made him the target of the Yakuza criminal underworld. Now he’s caught between the dark secrets of his girlfriend’s family and a growing threat that could cost him everything.

In a world where courage has a cost, James must decide: is he ready to risk it all — or will his attempts to save his own life lead to a lifetime of regret?

A Bad Hand explores the intersections of innocence and corruption, family and betrayal, and courage in the face of impossible odds. With high-stakes action, romance, and heartwarming characters, this book tells a story of resilience, unexpected alliances, and the power of doing what is right, no matter the cost.

This limited edition collectors pack includes three exclusive souvenirs that give you a tactile way to make the story stay with you long after you turn the last page. In addition to a signed copy of A Bad Hand, you’ll receive:

• A private school patch from Sora’s high school in Osaka
• A Diasuke Ohyama rookie card (doubles as a great bookmark), and
• A nazar keychain (you’ll find out why that’s cool in chapter 25)! Honda CB750 key not included.

Maybe the best part – this limited edition collector’s pack ships for free anywhere in the United States!
