They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Literally speaking, the darkest hour in the day is followed by dawn when light begins to shine through the horizon. Metaphorically speaking, the lowest point in life comes right before things get better. The phrase itself symbolizes hope and beauty in many ways, but what happens when the light that follows darkness means the end? How does one find hope and beauty in such situation? =====<>===== Hi, everyone! Hour Before Dawn is a BinJin fictional story set in the present time in the States.

It was love at first elbow to the nose. When skirt-chasing TV star, Liam Black, gets thrown out of an unknown actress's apartment, he is impressed by the Z-lister's surprising amount of self-respect. (She's a Z-lister and he's Liam Black, after all.) After some subtle stalking, Liam learns that the woman is ambitious Hollywood attorney, Gemma Vaughn, and he becomes intent on making her the Amal to his George Clooney. The cold-hearted lawyer, however, has zero interest in Liam, whom she believes to be a walking STD. When Gemma is forced to accept the trouble-making celebrity as a client, her worst nightmare is realized: he begins to grow on her - kind of like a fungus. Will Gemma be able to keep their relationship strictly professional, or will Liam break down her walls and compromise her heart (and maybe her health)? Note: This is an excerpt only.
