Elianna Bennett is 25, careful, and very good at keeping things contained. Seo Jae-hyun is 24, famous, and living a double life that is slowly taking him apart from the inside. One concert. One backstage encounter. One decision that seems, at the time, like nothing more than a beginning. Seven years later, they are still carrying what that beginning made. And the world is about to find out. Set between Seattle and Seoul, THE HANNAM-DONG SECRET is a slow-burning interracial romance about two people who fell in love at the wrong moment in the wrong circumstances and chose each other anyway - across an ocean, across a secret, across a daughter who grew up knowing her father through a phone screen and her first word was for him anyway. This is not a story that moves quickly. It earns what it arrives at. There is grief here, and distance, and choices that cost more than anyone planned for. There is a little girl who sees more than the adults around her have accounted for. There is love that is real and still, sometimes, not enough - until it is. If you are looking for a fast burn, keep walking. If you want something that stays with you - the kind of story that asks something real - this is yours. Drama. Distance. Two people learning, slowly, what it means to stop hiding. ©️ R. L.

She flew to Seville to save her family's future. She did not know what she was flying into. Kamilah is sharp, composed, and prepared for an arranged marriage that will merge two resort empires and preserve everything her family built. What she is not prepared for is the scale of what has already been constructed against her: a calculated campaign to make her walk away, a contract clause she was never shown that makes walking away impossible, and a man who is more dangerous because he has convinced himself he is justified. Diego did not want this marriage. He had other plans and other loyalties. He deployed them without mercy. And he was very good at it. What neither of them planned was her. Tides of Torment is an international slow-burn romance with real darkness behind the luxury. Corporate warfare, buried secrets, psychological manipulation, betrayals from people who looked like allies, and a woman who refuses to be unmade by any of it. The story moves from the courtyards of Seville to the streets of Old Havana to the tango halls of Buenos Aires and back again, building heat slowly and deliberately until it is impossible to contain. The cruelty is real. The reckoning is real. So is what grows in the space between them when there is nothing left to hide behind. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
