In Joseon Korea, Nandi Okonkwo is the most sought-after matchmaker in the capital, known for her uncanny ability to create perfect marriages. But beneath her successful facade lies a painful past.

Nara has spent her entire life learning how not to need anyone. Growing up in the foster system taught her to be frugal, independent, and careful about where she placed her trust. Now, at twenty-seven, she has a budding career, a growing place in her church, and a quiet life she can call her own. Then there is Matt. At forty-three, Matt is everything Nara has learned not to expect from people: kind, dependable, faithful, and still single ten years after losing his wife. He is also her church's accountant. And, increasingly, the man whose eyes seem to linger on her a little too long. When an ordinary church potluck ends with an unexpected kiss, Nara can't help wondering if perhaps God has finally answered the question she's carried all her life: 'Where do I belong?' But love doesn't erase the past. And finding a person to love is not always the same thing as finding home. Sometimes, before you can find your way home, you have to discover what home really means. A Christian romance about faith, love, grief, family, and the courage to belong.

When a bubbly track star meets a grumpy Dutch baller... A college sports romance between two polar opposites.

A legacy older than his mistakes and heavier than his heart. Raised to obey, to inherit, to become exactly who his family needed him to be, Eric learned early that love came second to duty. His father's word was law. The future was already written. Olivia Spencer loved him anyway. She loved him through missed moments, quiet disappointments, and a relationship that always seemed to come after boardrooms, family dinners, and a name that demanded obedience. Until love started to feel like compromise. Until she realised she was building a life around a man who would never choose her first. So she walked away. Years later, fate pulls them back into each other's orbit. The chemistry is still there, raw and undeniable. The feelings still dangerous. But so are the ghosts of the past. Because Eric is still tied to the legacy that once controlled him. And Olivia refuses to disappear into someone else's shadow again. This time, love demands a choice. And not all legacies survive being challenged.
