Ariel Lee has been stuck for years in a dead-end job as an assistant chef. Struggling to meet ends meet in a life of poverty while raising her young son whose father left them for another woman, their lives would soon change when she narrowly won a coveted one-year contract with a year-end prize of a million dollars to be a full-time, in-house chef for world-renowned megastar singer, Leon Waltz, whose handsome model looks and sexy dance moves have women from all over the world swooning after. Ariel's stay at his penthouse soon proves to be challenging as she unravels behind-the-scenes of Leon's true personality beneath his glamour facade - his outrageously lavish but troubled lifestyle of alcohol and women, his unpredictable outbursts, and his frequent ruthless threats to fire her each time she failed to deliver to his satisfaction. Little did both of them realise that their relationship would blossom outside the bounds of a boss and employee as they got to know each other deeper in time, where feelings develop into a forbidden territory that neither wanted to succumb to. A life-changing incident and utter confusion would soon propel Ariel to re-evaluate her entire relationship with Leon and her purpose in life, forcing her to choose - either to stay on and be with Leon or walk away from him before the end of her contract, which would mean forfeiting her prize. *Selected by Asians-in-Literature in Romance *Listed in Best Books Recommendation by @Aparna_Bhagat First Edition: 2017 Second Edition: 2022 This book is a prequel to Life Without You: https://www.wattpad.com/story/141654413-life-without-you

Jackson McKiernan doesn't think he needs to be in a relationship, nor is he jumping at the opportunity to get into one. At the moment, he is more than satisfied with the single life and if he's being honest, he'd rather focus his attention on matters that don't involve the heart. His persistent mother, however, seems to think otherwise. And what mother wants, mother gets. Right? Maybe. Like Peter F. Drucker once said, "Unless commitment is made, there are only empty promises and false hopes but no plans." thank you soooo much to dirtypalette for the beautiful cover <3

"Bright lights, guitar music, continuous dancing, fast cars and a stream of screaming, jostling admirers. For as long as I can remember that was my life. One moment, I was pounding to the pulsating beat of the city, then ...screech, thump and clunk... suddenly, it all came to a grinding halt. I still don't really know what hit me," muttered Logan to himself as he surveyed the black rubbish bags around him. Someone once said, "Sometimes you need to slow down to go fast." That someone obviously wasn't Logan and didn't live in Singapore--a fast-paced city that never sleeps. Figuring out how to slow down and survive would take Logan a long while. Meantime, his female fans wept when he announced solemnly on Youtube that evening, "Every day, I reflect on my actions and ponder life's questions. I don't know when my next update will be but you are my world and I miss you terribly." Unwittingly, he left millions of broken hearts behind and entered her world of slow beats. #Knight/Dame in the RoyalCourtAwards for March 2018 #Iridescentvibe put this book in the replay category, which means they wish to read it again and again.
