Elissa Hsu, rising SoCal Opera singer just out of grad school, has got to catch a break. With the first auditions of the season coming up and her systems analyst job getting even more demanding, Elissa's super stressed, isn't getting enough sleep, and doesn't even have the time to enjoy her favorite foods. Her way of solving the problem? Jetting off to Taipei for a week of fun, food, and more sleep. Now that's a solution.
Jonathan Liu, aspiring author currently working as a bartender at MYST, a classy bar and lounge in the heart of Taipei, is determined to get his novel published this time. He's got one hundred and thirty-eight rejections under his belt, and he doesn't intend to hit one hundred and thirty-nine. Or forty. But either way, he's still got to cater to Taipei's night life, be it an adventurous society princess or a creepy guy on the street.
When the two meet and fall in love within a single night, it's perfect at first. But when it becomes apparent that it won't last forever, they can only hope that it does.

A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1
If you're given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if... it comes at a cost? A dying woman reminisces on her short life and comes to regret not doing the things she likes - always sacrificing her own happiness for her family. On her deathbed, she whispers her wishes to a friend. "If only I could go back in time, I'll make sure to live my life for my sake and not somebody else's." Little did she know that her impossible wish would come true with the help of a mysterious woman. And in her second chance at life, she meets a certain problematic person... "Kaiden Ma" - a young and handsome genius who is also the richest heir in the East - has a little problem. One - he is way too grumpy; and two - he is mysophobic. With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be? And what is the cost of this new life she was given? 🌸 𝘼 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌸 ✅ A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1 🟨 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 2 🟥 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 3 - 4Lengkap

Eboni's vision of a being a celebrity chef faded in California, where the foodie scene was flooded with thousands of other wannabes, and her family soul food recipes weren't enough to catch the eye of foodies seeking flashier fare.

When Eboni is forced to return home and take a day job while trying to get her soul food catering business off the ground, she finds that AJ has come home too.

Still carrying a torch for his childhood love, AJ offers his Korean fried chicken recipe to help draw attention to Eboni's business.

Halfway to you
Neither of them believed in love - not really. Sheng Shaoyou was an exhausted architecture student, too busy chasing perfection and deadlines to chase feelings. Hua Yong was a multimedia major with an easy smile, a string of admirers, and no plans for forever. When they met, it wasn't meant to be anything more than a distraction - two people finding warmth in fleeting nights and unspoken rules. But casual things have a cruel way of turning into something deeper. What starts as late-night drives and unplanned park visits becomes a tangled rhythm of wanting and running - of glances that last too long, and silences that hurt too much. Every time one of them moves closer, the other takes a step back. Until everything finally shatters. And maybe that's what love really is - breaking apart just to find your way back again. Told through soft moments, missed chances, and years of learning to stay, halfway to you is a story of two people who never meant to fall in love... but did, completely - slowly, beautifully, and irrevocably. Because sometimes, peace doesn't come after the storm. Sometimes, it's the person who stands beside you through it. The idea is mine and as this is my 6th book, i still feel i am a noob so please tolerate the journey with me?😤 Warning: Angst MxM No cheating Happy ending? Don't read if you don't want to read a gay fanfiction 🙂Lengkap
