Drinking was her savior... until it almost got her killed. - Mae Chen is an artist who's lucky to be alive. She is also an artist with a useless painting hand and even more useless eyes. After a devastating car accident that landed her in the emergency room, Mae has just awoken from the short coma she was in only to find that the one thing she was good at can no longer be her talent. Because blind girls can't paint, especially with their non-dominant hand. Dustin Jin regrets everything that happened during winter break. He wished he talked to Mae when he had the chance. He wished he didn't kiss that random girl on New Years. And he wished he told Mae that he was sorry and that he really liked her. But the next best thing that this rich kid with poor problems can do is suck it up and be there for her this time. Parker Ly used to be a player until he got to know Mae Chen. Now the girl he used to like, and still may like, is struggling to get back on her feet. These three, along with all of the other supportive people in their lives, are going to have to finally work everything out. Mae will have to slowly find a future in her now darkened eyes, but she won't have to go through it alone. In the sequel to Doodle Heart, Mae will have to rewrite her plans and hope for the future. 「book two in the Liberal Academy series」 **MUST READ DOODLE HEART (book one) BEFORE THIS ONE**

An artistic playboy? Never heard that one before. - Parker Ly was a full package-intelligent, good-looking, sporty, and a bad boy. Oh yes, he was also an artist. He also had a secret; he fell in love with a girl in ripped jeans and a blue bomber jacket who only came out at night. He didn't even know her real name, but he knew he had to have her. Mae Chen wore Hollister hoodies and read books while walking to class-no one would expect her to be the dark-haired beauty who ran under the stars and appeared at only the wildest parties. But when Mae is paired up with one of Parker's best friends for a month long project, it gets harder and harder to keep up the mask. How long will she last? Parker is getting more curious by the day, but something is fishy about the girl his best friend had been partnered with. And another problem: was he falling for this girl? 「book one in the Liberal Academy series」

Elizabeth Bennet is a 23 year old environmental journalist still living with her parents. She has a steady plan to get out of the sleepy city of Meryton and gain her independence. However, when rich and eligible bachelor Charles Bingley moves into the Netherfield apartment downtown and makes a move on Lizzie's sister, her world gets spun around. Her sister gets a new boyfriend in the form of Charles Bingley, while Elizabeth gets a new enemy in the form of Charles' best friend, Darcy. Pompous car company CEO Darcy and Elizabeth seem like natural born enemies, but with a series of run-ins and misunderstandings, it seems as if the two of them are a little more similar than they'd like to admit. 🌱🌿🌱 Matters of Chance is a retelling of Jane Austen's classic romance Pride and Prejudice. It takes place on the American west coast. It features an Asian-American Bennet family living in a small city outside of Seattle. It has very similar plot points to the original, but adapted to a modern setting. However, I don't think you need to have read Pride & Prejudice to read this! The characters are written so that you can do without it. Here's a link to my aesthetic board to get a feel for the characters! https://pin.it/w8qkJa7\ [50,000 - 60,000 words] #1 in prideandprejudice 6/13/2020 ✨ #15 in Romance 10/27/2020 🎃

Nancy Pang doesn't have a clue what love is. All she knows is that it's not going to help her win the Junior Mathematics Tournament, or get her into Harvard, or do anything except disrupt her college-prep life. Love is also not the solution to her brother's post-college problems, or her parents' constant fighting...(okay, maybe it is). And love certainly won't solve the issue of that annoying Alexander Lin who beats her in looks, popularity, AND intelligence. Unfortunately for Nancy, love is in the air whether she likes it or not. [Sequel to 'Heroes Deep Within' but can be read alone] Chicklit #6 on 5/27/15 *Beautiful cover by rancorr!
