As the daughter of a Shanghai native and a staunch Indiana Hoosier, Jade Lee struggled to find her own identity somewhere between America and China. Her search took her to regency England where the formality of culture hid a secret sensuality that fascinated her. But Devils Bargain was just the beginning for her. That same search adds a mystical element in her Tigress series beginning in Jan 2005 where she delves into the hidden sensuality of the Dragon/Tigress religious sect in pre-revolutionary China.
