    Emily Calloway runs the village surgery of Dr. Hartley and Dr. Hargrove with quiet, unfailing competence and asking for very little in return.'What would I do without you?' Dr. Hargrove says more than once. But when a beautiful blonde arrives at the surgery one afternoon with monogrammed luggage and every appearance of belonging at Dr. Hargrove's side, Emily discovers there are some heartbreaks no amount of discipline can keep neatly contained, and Dr. Hargrove will discover exactly what life without Emily Calloway is like. This is a vintage old school Mills & Boon-style inspired tale, but with a stronger heroine, and a little grovel thrown in.

    Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.

    ❛⁠ ❛Pehle sirf zubaan chalana jaanti thi... ab hathiyaar bhi chalana seekh gayi hoon."(⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠メ) (" Earlier, I only knew how to use my words... now I've learned how to use weapons too." ) Some people fall in love.. Some people have arranged marriages.. And then there's Anaya, who accidentally signs a one-year contract marriage with the wrong billionaire. When Anaya confidently tells the cold billionaire, "Kirpya mujhe gyaan mat do... Mere se apne wala hi nahin sambhal raha." (Please don't give me life lessons... I can't even handle my own life.) ..she has absolutely no idea that she's just invited another disaster into her already chaotic life. On the other hand, Aaruv Devanshra is a billionaire who believes emotions are distractions, love is a waste of time, and contracts are far more reliable than people. But even his patience has limits. Especially when Anaya refuses to stop talking. "Yeh garmi kya kam hai... jo aap kehar dhaalne par tule ho? Tham jao yaar." (Isn't this heat enough already... why are you adding more to it? Please stop.) And just when life starts becoming slightly normal... Her best friend Siya arrives to make everything worse. "Aunty ji... aapki beti gali deti hai!" (Aunty... your daughter uses bad words!) As if that wasn't enough, another storm is waiting. Anaya Elvansh. Rich. Arrogant. And definitely not our heroine.

Florence Thorne is a New York academic in the year of 1933, who is far more comfortable sorting dusty museum archives than dodging jungle traps. But when her obsessive scientist father vanishes into the uncharted depths of the Congo, Flora has no choice but to swap her ink-stained pens for a pair of field boots. Her rescue mission goes disastrously wrong when she is left stranded in the green wilderness. Lost, desperate, and definitely not dressed for a trek, she bumps into Jack Hurley (for her luck... Or not). Jack is a rugged, charismatic, and entirely reckless Australian outfitter with a smirk that should be classified as a hazard. He is broke, incredibly charming, and hunting down the exact same ancient, glowing relic her father is. She thinks he's a crude, reckless brute who doesn't take a single thing seriously while he thinks she's a rigid, rule-following little scholar who won't survive a week in his shoes. To survive the wilderness, criminals, saboteurs and the secrets of a hidden waterfall, this unlikely duo must work together. Can a sharp-witted nerdy girl and a reckless Aussie survive the jungle... And each other? ✨ PEEK ✨ ✦ 1930s Pulp Adventure Vibes ✦ Opposites Attract / Nerdy Girl x Reckless Guy ✦ Strong, Charismatic Australian Guy (With plenty of dry Aussie humor) ✦ Enemies-to-Lovers & Slow Burn Romance (not that slow tho ;)) ✦ Forced Proximity (Only one tree-canopy bed!) ✦ Moral Gray Villains & Dangerous Ancient Mysteries

    Synopsis: Sophie Lee might look like the sweetest girl in the room-soft-spoken, polite, and always giving off the perfect "I'm-not-a-threat" vibe. But beneath that innocent smile, she's the most cunning, sharp-minded strategist you'll ever meet. The world may think she's just another sweet, naive girl, but she's got more tricks up her sleeve than anyone could guess. Then there's Vera Han, the textbook "green tea" villain. She's charming, graceful, and always knows how to get a man's attention. Or at least, that's what everyone believes. In truth, she's all sweetness on the outside, but poison on the inside-a manipulator who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, especially if it means stealing away Jace Park, the rich and handsome heir to a major business empire. But there's a twist. While Vera's scheming gets bolder and more obvious, Sophie keeps her cool. She's not interested in playing a dirty game. She just watches from the sidelines, letting Vera dig her own grave with each move she makes, all while making sure Jace sees the real face behind the villainess's act. No one can beat Vera at her own game like Sophie can, and with each new plan Vera tries, Sophie pulls the strings from behind the scenes-subtly, quietly, and with deadly precision.

    One night in the opulent Suite 1808 of The St. Regis New York, Zoe Carter,a sharp-witted reader of trashy CEO novels, wakes up to her worst nightmare: she's no longer herself. She's been thrust into the body of Emily Miller, the doomed cannon fodder character in "Manhattan's Ice King," the very novel she just finished deriding. Trapped in the opening act of a scandal meticulously orchestrated by the venomous socialite Isabelle Thorne, Emily knows the script: public humiliation, ruin, and a swift, tragic exit. But this new Emily isn't playing by the book. Armed with her meta-knowledge of the plot, a twenty-first-century attitude, and a fierce will to survive, she's determined to flip the script on her predetermined fate. Forced into a sham engagement with the novel's infuriatingly handsome and glacially cold protagonist, billionaire CEO Alexander Sterling, Emily must navigate the treacherous waters of Manhattan's elite. As she dodges Isabelle's devious schemes and delivers satisfying comeuppance to those who underestimated her, she starts to derail the original storyline in ways she never predicted. But changing the plot comes with its own dangers. The lines between fiction and reality blur, and Alexander, the "by-the-book" CEO, finds himself increasingly captivated by this new, unpredictable Emily who defies his every expectation. As hidden agendas unravel and the "secret" of Suite 1808 proves to be far more sinister than the novel let on, Emily must decide if she can trust the man she once dismissed as a mere character. Can a cannon fodder character truly rewrite her destiny, outsmart a master manipulator, and find an unexpected love in a world designed to be her downfall? Or will the original author always have the final say?
