Two Halves: Phoenix and Chen

Phoenix Sands shares her mother’s love of China and its people. When her mother is killed in a robbery in Chicago’s Chinatown, Phoenix defies her police father’s wishes by going to the University of Hong Kong to study language and philosophy.
Sung Wu Chen is a University student with a jaded past. Once a Triad member, he has broken from his connections with one exception – his family is fused with the secret society. He spends his free time at the Hoo Fang Wu Shu school, continuing his studies in the martial arts, hoping one day to become a teacher. When Phoenix decides to train in Wu Shu, the two are immediately drawn to each other. Can there be a future for an ex-Triad member and a cop’s daughter?
