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.

The Scent Beneath the Mask
Teetee is an Alpha-but he hates what that means. In a society where Alphas dominate and Omegas are often seen as tools for pleasure or power, Teetee lives in disguise. With the help of his family, he hides his true identity and passes as a Beta. Only his older brother, Thomas, knows the truth. Teetee surrounds himself with Omegas-his best friends Wave, Save, and Kong-not because he sees them as lesser, but because he wants to protect them. They don't know he's an Alpha. They just know he's kind, safe, scent-neutral. Harmless. Por, on the other hand, is a rare Enigma: neither Alpha nor Omega, unpredictable and biologically untouchable-until fate triggers something dormant. Cold, sharp, and brutally honest, Por doesn't trust easily. Especially not Omegas. Especially not anyone. That is, until the day he crashes into a quiet Beta in the university hallway. One whiff of peach-scented pheromones, and everything changes. Por knows that scent. He knows what it means. They're fated. But how can you find your fated partner when they're hiding who they really are? And how do you love someone when your past tells you not to trust anyone at all?Complete

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.Complete
