Chloe just wanted a simple life.  Take care of her father. Hang out with her friend, Simone. And settle down with a nice man. Too bad life has other plans for her.

Forced by her family to live in South Korea for the year, Chloe meets Daniel.

Daniel just wants to make his family proud and live up to their expectations. Follow their rules and try to be as happy as he can under their guidance. But being the heir to a million-dollar hospital/pharmaceutical chain comes with its own set of problems. 

What happens when the spunky girl from America meets the level headed soon-to-be chairman of  Sejong Medical Hospital? Well, let's just say that shenanigans, hilarity, and backstabbings are sure to ensue. 

Will they be able to withstand societal pressures? Or will they succumb to the wills of others?

Edit: This is a black woman/ Korean man novel and I was inspired by Korean dramas. I've always wanted to watch a Korean drama about a black woman or a foreigner in general,  with a rich Korean man, so I wrote the story myself.  Trust me, it's a roller-coaster of a story!

After six months of meetings, long work nights, and contract negotiations, accounts manager Topaz Lee found herself at the finish line of a much-needed break. Prepared to enjoy selective amnesia concerning her place of employment and anything associated with her job, Topaz counts the seconds until she is released from her daily grind.

The brothers are the valued sons of a Chaebol. Only those in the same social and financial class have ever been considered acceptable amongst those who are considered to be royalty in their world, and royalty she is not. Will the voluptuous Nubian goddess overcome the long-standing social restrictions of the Korean Elitist system, or will she be forced to accept that a peasant is considered to be entirely unfavorable to members of a Chaebol? With a long-standing practice of the wealthy separating themselves from the lower class, it is no wonder they might see Topaz as someone to be shunned from mixing within their ranks; especially since she is BLACK.

And If I say No! by GallowayIsWrite

Two years of working a job she was overqualified for. Ezra had finally had enough! She wanted more for herself and her future. Seeing her boss's girlfriend get the position she had worked so hard for motivated her to leave and finally stand up for herself. However, what she didn't realize was Luca never wanted her to leave his side and would do anything to keep her closer to him! Even if that meant sabotaging her promotion. This wasn't the love story Ezra wanted, and this was not how she envisioned career path. She was a caged bird that desired freedom, and he was a man who had always loved her so much so that he was willing to destroy any opportunity that came her way. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU STARTING READING: This is a dark romance and it's not a light hearted romance story. Meaning the way they fall in love isn't normal and is purely fictional. There are really heavy dark themes written throughout the entire book, if your someone who is easily triggered, please do not continue with reading. Thanks,

When a young, ambitious woman by the name of Joy was simply minding her business one day she stumbled into a very handsome stranger: a police officer. On the surface he was warm, inviting and worst of all he had an unmistakable charm about him that fueled the fear in her heart. To put things simply, the independent Joy - being an impressionable black woman who resided in the states - felt greatly intimidated by the police. Yet when met with the large eyes of the overtly friendly policeman, she feels greatly conflicted. What would they make of each other? It was a question the both of them found stalking them since that fateful encounter. Though, despite her fears he tends to show a growing attraction for the gorgeous lady that bumped into him. Soon, their connection begs what they'll make of their relationship... as well as the trials and tribulations brought with it. TRIGGER WARNING: This story was first published in 2018, and thus has preceded a lot of police-related world events (specifically from 2020 to the present). If the subject of police in America makes you uncomfortable please proceed with caution. Otherwise, thank you for giving my story a chance! Warning: This story features sexual themes and content, though the story does not revolve around it. Please read with caution if you are not comfortable with it. (Also, this isn't anything like what I've published in the past, but I've had this draft for several months prior to it being published and decided it's best to post it as an experiment. Don't hesitate to give feedback. Please enjoy!) Thank you.
