Everyone thinks the worst thing that could happen is getting caught. They're wrong. When a young woman falls for her best friend's father, the danger isn't scandal-it's the truth. Some feelings don't disappear when you try to bury them. They wait. They grow. They come back louder, hotter, impossible to ignore.

Known for his sharp wit and frosty demeanor, Liam is as ambitious as he is arrogant, and Eleanor is determined to break through his icy facade. But when the interview takes an unexpected turn, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions that rocks her carefully constructed world. Enter Brian Owens, Liam's charming stepbrother, whose easy laughter and genuine warmth stand in stark contrast to his sibling's rigidity. As Eleanor navigates the complexities of her growing feelings for both brothers, she uncovers a tangled web of family secrets and past grievances that threaten to shatter their delicate equilibrium.

SALOME LAM had pined after Orion Ip for as long as she could remember. It was a way of life, a habit ingrained into her routine that felt completely and utterly natural. He was the boy next door, two years older, someone who was always just out of reach. She could try all she wanted, but she could never fit into his life. She could never quite be anything in Orion's world. And because life is cruel (or perhaps it was kind, since she was at least always in close proximity to him), they met at place after place, school after school, city after city. University was meant to be different. A brand new start, finally forgetting the boy carved so deeply in her heart, who hadn't even a clue the extent of Salome's feelings for him. If it was pointless, why not end it now? Why waste more time playing this game that yielded no result? But they're at the same place again. St Lucia's College at Oxford, where Salome can't escape him or the way he makes her heart pound. Except this time was different. As if he was actually noticing her. As if she wasn't just the little girl who lived next door, not quite a nuisance but also beneath his notice. Now they're talking and spending time together and he's initiating those interactions too. Salome had promised herself she'd forget, but how could she when it felt like this time, she truly had a chance? Perhaps, there was still time for one last try. Before Salome truly, for once and for all, decided to cut Orion Ip and those years between them out of her life. (bobas & lattes #2) readable as standalone

This is a character-driven story about two people who were never meant to fit together. Lucas, born into success, has everything handed to him-status, stability, a name that opens doors. Sherry has survived every hardship life threw her way, fueled only by stubborn willpower. She notices everything. He notices nothing... especially her. Until the day they're paired for a student exchange program, forced to travel across the world and navigate a foreign country side by side. He doesn't like her. She wishes she didn't like him. But life has a way of threading unlikely people together-bead by bead. They are the same story written in different languages. Lucas was abused by strangers while his brother watched. He learned that love is transactional, that bodies are objects, that silence is survival. He built walls so high that even his mother couldn't climb them. Sherry was abandoned by her father and emotionally starved by her mother. She learned that love is conditional, that beauty is currency, that invisibility is safety. She became the one who reaches across tables because no one ever reached for her. Lucas pushes people away before they can leave him. Sherry holds on so tightly she forgets to breathe. Lucas says: "I've never let anyone that close. Ever." Sherry says: "I hope I pass." He's afraid of being seen. She's afraid of being invisible. What happens when two voids meet? What happens when the boy who was never protected meets the girl who was never chosen? What happens when the person who's spent twelve years believing no one will ever show up meets the person who's spent her whole life showing up for people who leave anyway? They either collapse into each other-or they finally have enough mass to become something solid.
