Sue Law has a quiet job, a quiet life, and a loud, aching heart. At thirty-something, she's a virgin, a loner, and spiritually exhausted from pretending not to care about Seth Banks - the nonchalant coworker who doesn't even glance her way.
While everyone around her seems drawn to her mysterious vibe, Sue keeps her distance - burned too many times by fake smiles and empty friendships. Each chapter of her life peels back a layer of solitude and longing, as she tries desperately to forget Seth and the feelings that wreck her sanity.
Through overheard stories of broken relationships, tragic affairs, and comically failed romances, Sue begins to realize that maybe love is not just dead for her - it's on life support everywhere.
This is a novel for anyone who has loved in silence, lost hope in humanity, and questioned if loneliness might be safer than risking another disappointment.

When She Smiles Again
It's not a story about two young lovers. It's about two lives that should have never crossed - two souls shaped by different journeys, different wounds, different ages. A boy of 26, untouched by the weight of a past, and a woman of 32, divorced but not broken, carrying the quiet strength of someone who has survived. He is the sunrise - full of hope, unafraid to chase what he believes in. She is the twilight - calm, beautiful, holding the memories of battles fought and lessons learned. Their meeting is not an accident; it is the moment the universe chooses to whisper, this is where you begin again. What follows is not a simple love - it is a slow fire, a gentle unfolding, a fierce test of trust. This is a story of healing, of breaking down walls, of learning that love is not about age or timing but about finding someone who sees your scars and still calls you beautiful. It is about a boy who refuses to give up, and a woman who learns that her heart can still choose happiness. A love that does not just happen - it transforms.

And the person sitting across from her, staring in shock, is none other than Milk Pansa company's icy, no-nonsense CEO. Love is mortified. Milk is amused. Meanwhile, Milk's grandfather is completely exhausted from Milk rejecting all the blind dates and has finally had enough. "Fine. You don't want a man? I'll give you a woman!" Unfortunately, Love's spectacular date-ruining skills only make things worse. Grandfather mistakes Love for Milk's actual date and, in an unexpected twist, decides: She's the one! Before Love can process what's happening, she's roped into a business marriage proposal-all because Milk needs to fend off further matchmaking attempts, and Love just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time (or the right place, depending on who you ask). What starts as a convenient (and completely fake) engagement soon turns Milk's meticulously organized life into absolute chaos. Love-clumsy, unpredictable, and absolutely unfiltered turns every formal event into an experience, every board meeting into a spectacle, and every attempt at faking romance into something way too real. The worst part? Milk doesn't mind at all. Inspired by Business Proposal Cover Photo Credits: @turn_word (saturn_)Complete
