The Romantic Guide to Popping the Question
The Romantic's Guide to Popping the Question is based on a contest which Michael Webb did. He asked people to send him their proposal ideas and offered a vacation to the person with the most original and creative idea. The offers poured in and he took the 101 best ideas and made a digital book out of them. This is the Romantic's guide to Popping the Question.

No one but Japanese-American assassin John Rain can win the game of cross and double cross he encounters in this new novel of sexy international intrigue in the series. Torn between his past as a soldier and his vocation as a killer, longing for attachment but forced to operate alone, and haunted by the fear that one day there must be a reckoning for the things he has done, John Rain moves like a dark ghost through Tokyo and the other urban landscapes in which his Asian features enable him to operate undetected. His ability to make death appear to have been of "natural causes" keeps his reluctant services in constant demand.
