After falling in love with a younger and much less successful man, can Yiwen convince herself and her parents to accept him into their wealthy family? ***** When Yiwen Wang suddenly finds herself 30 and single, she lets her well-meaning best friend talk her into a blind date with the handsome Zi'an Li. And not only is he plucked straight out of a movie screen, his witty banter over dinner also convinces Yiwen he's exactly the type to make her toes curl. Yet, by some wicked twist of fate, he's five years younger than her and has no house, car, or stable, high-paying job. So how is she ever going to convince herself and her parents that he's the right choice? Especially when her new, attractive boss makes it very clear that he's interested in her?

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

Lady Eleanor Cantwell, daughter of the Marquess of Salford, is a proper young lady. With her golden complexion, raven-black hair, and manners befitting a princess, Lady Eleanor has always been deemed a belle. There is just one problem. Lady Eleanor Cantwell is Indian. Having been adopted from India when Lady Salford found herself unable to bear a child, Lady Eleanor is shunned by society, including her mother, on account of her true heritage. The ladies turn their noses at her and the gentlemen only wish for her virtue which she clings to dearly. They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is! Which is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger. A husband would only bring with him a mountain of restrictions that were detrimental to her plans of travelling the world - the land of her ancestors, in particular. So, when her parents sell her off to the duke, she realises that she no longer cares for society, her beloved father, or her reputation. And when the duke makes her an enticing offer, she realises she would have to abandon all sense of propriety, manners, and rules to do what he asks of her. She would have to defy. . * 1st Place Winner in HISTORICAL FICTION of the HIDDEN GEMS AWARDS * Featured in the "Diverse Fiction" reading list by @Ambassadors * Featured in the "Historical Fiction" reading list by @AmbassadorsIN * Featured in the "Ambassador's Monthly Picks (Oct 2025)", "War & Military" and "Historical DiverseLit" reading lists by @HistoricalFiction * Featured in the "Historical Adventures" and "DiverseLit Adventures" reading lists by @adventure

❝I NEED TO STOP WISHING THAT YOU'LL LOVE ME BACK, BECAUSE THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU DON'T LOVE ME ALREADY. AND I GUESS THAT REASON WILL ALWAYS BE HERE.❞ Rosé was irrevocably head over heels for her best friend, Tom Holland. The only problem? He's in love, but not with her. We all need to find an outlet to release our emotions whether it be confiding in those closest to us or writing our emotions out or expressing it through a song - we all have our own ways of coping and for Rosé it was through art. Before she knew it she was writing out her love story through a comic book online, writing and drawing out her friendship with Tom. Fans read and waited on the edge hoping that their favorite characters would finally be together and that Rosé would stop making the heroine suffer from a one sided love. However no one expected the author to suddenly end on such a bad note and they hoped, no, begged that there must've been a mistake. But there was no mistake whatsoever. That book is her diary, a mere reflection of Rosé's life. Theo and Reyna never got their happy ending in the book and you wanna know why? Neither did Rosé and it's all because her best friend got a girlfriend, someone who isn't her.
