She vowed revenge. He vowed to make it his. She is the rightful heir to a legacy of ashes, playing a docile pawn in a gilded cage while secretly sharpening her mind for vengeance. He is the ruthless Mafia king who owns the city, a storm of violence and control who is used to everyone kneeling in his presence. When their paths collide, she doesn't kneel. She challenges him. He isn't irritated-he's obsessed. Now, an alliance forged in mutual benefit is blurring into something far more dangerous. In a world of betrayal, the most lethal threat isn't the enemy they share... but the vengeful devotion binding them together.

She wasn't looking for an escape. Until it found her. When Laura, a guarded Vogue writer from Paris, lands the rare chance to interview South Korea's most elusive actor, Gong Yoo, she doesn't expect it to feel like fate. What begins as a professional encounter soon turns into a deeper connection. They discover that there is something pulling them together; loneliness, fear, and the desire to be seen and heard. One day, she receives something she never expected: an invitation that pulls her halfway across the world. But under the glare of the public eye, desire becomes dangerous, and falling in love means learning to trust where it hurts the most. Set between the moody streets of Paris and the neon alleys of Seoul, this is a story of connection, longing, and a love that asks more questions than it answers. **Trigger warning: this story contains adult content, as well as themes of pregnancy and loss.**

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)
