Spices and Seoul

In the heart of bustling Seoul, Amara Okonkwo is making a name for herself, not as a K-pop star or fashion icon, but as the proud owner of Naija Soul, the city's first Nigerian restaurant. With fiery jollof rice, spicy pepper soup, and a heart full of dreams, she's determined to bring a taste of home to Korea.

But when Jihoon Kang, the heir to a powerful chaebol empire steps into her restaurant by accident, his world is turned upside down. She's bold, unapologetically Nigerian, and completely unlike anyone he's ever met.

As their worlds collide, so do cultures, expectations, and hearts. But can love truly bloom between a girl chasing flavor and a man bound by family duty?

A story of food, fate, and falling in love where East meets West, and spice meets Seoul.

Mary isn't sure if she can trust this stranger, or is she afraid of finding love that she can never have or keep, because her freedom is constrained by her Uncle's pride and fallacy. Mary and John go on a journey, navigating their faith in a dangerous world that threatens their lives. But maybe, just maybe, Mary's smothered hope will ignite. Mary will learn that she can be made whole again by receiving Jesus as her Lord and saviour, coming as she is, bruised and shattered.

©2024 COPYRIGHTS. ❝It's you i want not your virginity, literacy or marriage count.❞ Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm. Umaimah, a village girl with a heart heavy with desperation, was shackled by the cruelty of her adoptive parents, who treated her more as a servant than family. Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors, to vanish into the sprawling anonymity of the urban jungle. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.
