What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

The story line is about a girl who travels to Japan. She may have received something of great value from her grandmother. There is an assassin there who begins to fall in love with her... I lost the book years ago and desperately want to finish it. I can't remember much more than this other than I loved the book. Please help!

What year did you read it or when was it published? Author female or male? Literary fiction or mass market fiction? Remember the cover? How old is the girl, or is she more like a woman? When is it set?

Ice Blue by Anne Stuart had a heroine with a japanese bowl she is given/inherits that turns out to be valuable with all sorts of people wanting it. The hero is an agent/assassin of some secret organisation also after it and they wind up in Japan.

The later book Fire and Ice has the heroine's sister and hero's brother (another agent/assassin type) and is set in Japan.

Also Non-Stop Till Tokyo by K.J. Charles has a heroine on the run in Japan and I think the hero was ex-Yakuza. I think she was on the run because she was framed though not because of an artifact.

I probably read it over a decade ago and that's why I had so little details on it. Thank you so much for trying to help. Michelle below knew it... Ice Blue by Anne Stuart
