Meant To Be - whether you like it or not
Evelyn Jane Harper thought breaking up with Alexander Owen Li was the right choice. After all, how could she compete with his powerful family, who saw her as nothing more than a distraction?
But Alex isn't the type to let go easily. Now back in her life-determined, relentless, and annoyingly charming-he is set on proving that their love is worth the fight.
No matter how many times she pushes him away, fate keeps pulling them back together. And resisting him? Turns out, that is easier said than done.

Always Almost Yours
When Emma Carrington first met Alex Grayson in the bustling heart of New York City, she thought he was everything she wasn't looking for. He was restless, impulsive, and far too charming for his own good. But as they crossed paths over coffee shop counters and rainy park benches, their magnetic connection slowly drew them together, even as Emma fought to keep her distance. For someone like her-wounded and cautious after a painful past-falling in love wasn't an option. Yet love found her anyway, relentless and unyielding, until Emma could no longer deny it. She and Alex were fire and gasoline, made for fleeting passion, not permanence. Just as she finally lets herself surrender to the fragile hope of a future together, Alex receives a life-altering offer halfway across the world, one he can't refuse but that could destroy them. With oceans and years stretching between them, Emma and Alex make a pact: to live their separate lives and meet again in five years, when everything will finally be right for them. But when those years pass, they discover that fate has other plans, and the choices they've made have forever reshaped the people they've become. In the end, they are forced to confront a devastating question: Will the love they fought so hard to preserve be enough to bring them back together? Or have they been living for an ending that was never meant to be?Complete

Mia Brown believed she had her heart safely guarded, wrapped tight under layers of resilience. Life had taught her that trusting too deeply could lead to heartbreak, and dreams didn't always come true. She knew it was safer to rely on herself, to focus on her work and keep her emotions locked away. But a quiet longing stirred beneath her resolve, whispering dreams of a love so deep and true that it would feel like home. And then, there was Alex Walker. From the moment their paths crossed, something shifted in Mia-a warmth, a spark she couldn't ignore. Alex was magnetic yet grounded, a man of strength and subtle tenderness, with eyes that seemed to see into the guarded corners of her heart. He had a way of challenging her walls with every smile, every unspoken word, breaking down the defenses she'd built over time. Mia didn't believe in fairy tales, and yet, as she looked out into the future, there was a flicker of hope, fragile yet undeniable, that maybe she had found something real. Something she hadn't known she'd been searching for. But what if love was more than a feeling? What if it required trust, patience, and a vulnerability she had never allowed herself? Mia's journey would ask her to let go, to be open, to choose love even when it felt uncertain. And in the quiet moments, as she dared to hope, a single, fervent thought lingered in her mind: Could he be mine? ꧁༒☬ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ☬༒꧂ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
