A high school locker. A ladder. A Christmas tree. Six bowling pins stacked back to back. Geum Jaesan is taller than all of these things. 190 cm boy? Good. 190 cm girl? Awkward, abnormal; often mortifying with regular breaks for ill-fitting clothes and general lack of male interest. ━━ Hedonistic fun. General apathy. A tall girl obsessed with volleyball. Hak Tae-geun is interested in all of these things. Born on the same date of the same year, Tae-geun and Jaesan have been friends since forever. That is if "friends" mean one side constantly ignoring the other ... while the other thinks love is sticking gum in someone's hair. It's a grudging, almost spite-filled acquaintance, and both of them have never been able to stay on the same court. Literally and figuratively. Until someone has the bright idea to put them on the same team. Sometimes all it takes to start a fire is a little bit of friction ... ✒ 27.12.2022 (start) ✒ (end)

At three and twenty, Lady Susanna Beresford is at dire risk of being considered an old maid, though she is determined that nothing but the deepest love will incline her to marry, a fact that deeply vexes her mother. As the season closes in 1810 and Susanna prepares to return home to Hertfordshire unattached, she meets the very man who will indeed change her life forever. A man whom high society would deem inappropriate and forbidden based on the very colour of his skin. But there is more to this man than meets the eye, and their meeting sets in motion a series of events that will undoubtably change society as they know it forever.

When Mary is caught in a scandal with one of the most notorious rakes in town, she believes the only solution to the grave trouble for her dangerous secrets is a wedding. What she didn't account for was her heart--and his. *** Adrien Haverston is a rake caught in his own trap after a seduction goes wrong. One great scandal and a bitter wedding later, he is one angry husband to Mary Featherton.

But falling in love with his wife may not be as easy as he first thought, because as Adrien peels off every charming and beautiful facet of Mary, he also discovers dark and dangerous secrets--one of which has the potential to shatter him.

Rumi lives amidst the cluttered pile of his eclectic father's academic papers, the half-forgotten son of an exhausted Cambridge professor. There is nothing of interest in the town- nothing, that is, until their door is opened to one of his father's undergraduates. Across the span of an impromptu road-trip to track down a missing thesis, Rumi discovers that this student of his father's provides a great deal more than interest to his life.
