Ling Ling Kwong is elegance personified-mature, poised, and breathtakingly beautiful. At 30, the half-Hongkonger, half-Thai businesswoman has built her reputation with brains and grace. When she starts dating Amun Sethratanapong, Thailand's cargo empire billionaire and devoted single father, everything seems perfect-until she steps into his mansion and meets Orm. Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong is everything Ling isn't: 23, reckless, bold, spoiled, and terrifyingly magnetic. With her off-shoulder blonde hair, wicked smirk, and dominant energy, Orm isn't just unimpressed by Ling-she's hostile. Amun wants peace and insists they spend time together, hoping they'll grow close like family. But fate has other plans. What starts as cold stares and biting remarks turns into secret glances, shared nights abroad, and an undeniable spark neither of them saw coming. The woman meant to be her stepmother becomes the woman Orm can't stop thinking about. And Ling, once so sure of her path, finds herself torn between the man who loves her-and the daughter who makes her feel alive. Some love stories aren't supposed to happen. But sometimes, the heart chooses chaos.

"She was supposed to teach me Chinese. I ended up begging for her in every language." Ten years after vanishing into the glittering world of London high society, Orm Korn Sethratanapong returns to Bangkok with a designer suitcase and a smirk that hides a thousand secrets. Rich, reckless, and used to getting what she wants, Orm is tasked with managing her family's Chinese-investor-backed company. There's just one problem-she doesn't speak a word of Mandarin or Cantonese. Enter Lingling Sirilak Kwong: gorgeous, intelligent, emotionally unavailable. A private Chinese tutor with strict rules, including one she never breaks-don't fall in love. Especially not with clients. Especially not with smug, boyish flirts with blonde hair and honey eyes who can't stop crossing the line. Their lessons quickly spiral into arguments, heated glances, and late nights that end with torn clothes and breathless silence. They promise it's just sex. Just tension. Just nothing. Until Ling disappears. And Orm is willing to tear apart the world to find the woman who swore she'd never love her.
