Small town girl Song Hyejin grew up with a pair of scissors in her hand, spending her high school days in her father's barber shop cutting crew cuts for young men who were about to enlist in the army; this was how she was intending to spend the rest of her life. When top star Ares Hwang walks into the shop one rainy day demanding that she give him a haircut even though it's past opening hours, her life gets thrown straight into a raging hurricane known as the world of showbiz. ======== Enter Kang Hyunwon, hairstylist to the celebrities, touted by all the country's fashion magazines as the golden hands that could catapult anyone, literally anyone, from obscurity to stardom. When his limelight gets stolen unceremoniously by the head of hair atop one Ares Hwang (whom he had callously rejected to style just days before), his ego takes a beating that he will never forget. When he finds out who it is who was responsible for his humiliation, he vows to show this clueless suburban girl what it truly means to be hair-raisingly good with a pair of scissors... ======== Cover adapted from the artwork by @ClarissaNorth

Recommended for 18+ The Cinderella story that captured the world … From poverty to glittering wealth overnight, Natalie must learn to handle sudden international stardom. The sight of her own face on every major magazine across the world leaves her baffled – and terrified of someone learning the truth. Isolated from her friends and family in Elijah’s world, she must do the impossible and convince everyone she’s in love with a man who stirs her blood yet scares her with his need for control – even knowing that living this lie means she loses everything when it’s over. Elijah finds his possessiveness of his new toy turning from sheer lust into something much deeper, something that stirs the dark memories of his past and reminds him why he can never, ever fall in love. The harder he fights what he feels, the more compelled to Natalie he is, and the more difficult it becomes to protect her from the past he can never reveal, one that would both endanger her and drive her away. Together yet apart, lovers without being friends, neither can see what’s in front of them and both are left wondering: when did lying become so hard? Written under my pen name, SE Reign.

[COMPLETED]✔ Book 4 of The Deliverance Series Cormac smirks and replies, "Clever man...writing our worlds while hiding his daughters away." "My dad is my dad, you make absolutely no sense!" I'm quick to snap at him, frustrated by everything he's been claiming as the time he's spent here helping me with school alters his thoughts about me. Cormac chuckles while sighing, "No, nothing around you is what it seems, a clever way to keep you safe until you were ready to-" he cuts himself short as I can hear Edith banging on the door, crying for me. When his eyes glance back to capture my own, he tells me very carefully, "You've read it all...we weren't prepared for him and that's why your parents created all of this to keep you and your sister safe until...now." "I...I need to take my medication," when I go to move away, I feel the air shift around me, Cormac now standing before me. "No, you don't," he observes me with fascination, "there's nothing wrong with you." "But I see and do-" Cormac cuts me off when he gently chuckles, "There's much more you'll come to understand," he glances to the books and then nods, "be careful what you wish for..." "I just want this to all stop," I'm shaking my head profusely, not truly understanding everything he says. It doesn't make sense... ...it's words spun of a fairytale He's calm as I stare at him hard, asking, "What about Edith?" "She will be safe here, that I can assure you as your mother left nothing to chance," Cormac reassures me and at this very moment, everything around me seems to be flickering in and out of existence, especially when we both turn toward the books. "I'm scared," my voice is so weak and hardly above a whisper while Cormac picks up Code of Conduct. Cormac turns to me while holding the book in his hands. As he slowly extends it toward me, he arches a brow and asks, "Are you ready to tempt fate, little sparrow?" (Not Edited)
