New Releases by Natsumi Ando

Völlig unerwartet bittet Tsubaki Nao darum, seine Frau zu werden. Doch anstelle überschwänglicher Glücksgefühle und vorfreudiger Hochzeitsplanung tritt die Ernüchterung des Hier und Jetzt. Denn Nao akzeptiert seinen Antrag nur, um endlich die Wahrheit über jene Nacht vor 15 Jahren herauszufinden, die ihrer unbeschwerten Kindheit ein jähes und brutales Ende setzte. Aber Nao wird alles andere als freudig empfangen, denn als sie schließlich im Familienanwesen ihres zukünftigen Ehemanns einzieht, schlagen ihr Eifersucht, Missgunst und Hass entgegen ...

Schon als Kind ist Nao umgeben von handgefertigten Süßigkeiten. Ihre Mutter arbeitet in einer berühmten Traditionsconfiserie und bringt ihr die Fertigung des zuckersüßen Konfekts näher. Doch in den honigsüßen Duft kindlicher Unbeschwertheit mischt sich plötzlich der faulige Geruch von Verwesung. Ein Mord ist geschehen und Naos Mutter wird beschuldigt, ihn begangen zu haben. Von da an ist nichts mehr so, wie es einmal war, und aus Naos wohlbehüteter Zuckerwattewelt wird plötzlich ein blutgetränkter Albtraum aus Angst, Verlorenheit und Verzweiflung ...

Nao is more nervous than ever experiencing some unfamiliar symptoms, but she throws herself into making Shimaya’s warabi mochi in order to help Jojima out. Meanwhile, Tsubaki senses that Nao is hiding something from him, but decides not to press her about it, and the two naturally grow closer. When they visit Yuko, Tsubaki lays bare his true feelings and Nao is touched by his sincerity. She thinks she can take a chance on his love, but can she?

Nao may have managed to infiltrate Kogetsuan by marrying Tsubaki, but can she discover the truth behind her mother’s death without her true identity being exposed? At the invitation of one of the shop’s junior employees, Jojima, she pays her first visit in years to the staff quarters where her mother raised her. She feels a natural affinity for this helpful young man, but it turns out the secrets of his past are just as terrifying as her own…

In order to impress an esteemed client at a tea ceremony—where Kogetsuan’s old master will be in attendance—Nao plans to help Tsubaki make the perfect wagashi. Before she can get started, however, Tsubaki injures his right hand while trying to protect her. He quietly confesses his love for her is true, but Nao is still torn on whether to tell him her real identity. Despite her reservations, Nao falls deeper into Tsubaki’s inviting embrace… Then, on the day of the event, Nao runs into a familiar face who knows about what happened to her mother fifteen years ago.

The proprietress has caught onto Nao’s true identity, and will do anything to kick her out. But one day, a woman appears, claiming to be Nao’s mother and covering for her. As Nao chases the bare threads of connections to her real mother, Tsubaki remains close behind. The two grow further intertwined after overcoming the Shirafujiya incident, incurring the wrath of the old master, and sharing a room… But trust is far from the Kogetsuan home where Tsubaki admits to Nao that if he ever saw Sakura again, he’d make Sakura disappear

Even after her mother’s passing, Nao continues to make wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets, to feel less alone. All who have a taste of her confections are floored by the heart she imbues into her work, but being a no-name new talent summons the jealous ire of established family businesses like Kogetsuan. Moreover, Nao has married into Kogetsuan through Tsubaki, the contested heir…to find out why he framed her mother for murder years ago. Now living under the watchful eye of in-laws, Nao must keep her past connections to Kogetsuan a secret, and Tsubaki may be her most formidable ally yet.
