"When it comes to Love, do you listen to your Head? Or your Heart?"
Kimberly Renae Marco is the kind of girl everyone can depend on. She's straight up honest about things, will stick up for her friends if need be, and (maybe a little violently), put anyone in their place that deserves it. And that's exactly what Kimberly does for her ultimate best friend, Alchemy Hanes.
After her bestie got knocked up their Senior year and dropped out of high school because she didn't want anybody to know about her pregnancy, she soon had the baby later on in the year, Kimberly claiming to be the godmother of the child.
Four years later after Alicia is grown up enough and Alchemy gets the dream restaurant she's always wanted, but then soon encounter's her baby's daddy and everything goes to shit. Kimberly then steps in to help her best friend once again. Which means keeping Randy as far away from Ally and Alicia as possible.
But did anyone ever think about what happened between Kimberly and Robby, Alchemy's other best friend of her high school years? And to be honest, even Kimberly doesn't know what happened to him. After graduating high school, Robby had joined the military and soon comes back into town to visit his old friends, causing old feelings and memories to rise within Kimberly as she fights to stay independent. But with Robby so close to her, how can she ever stand to let him go once again?
Time is dwindling as Kimberly conflicts herself into letting him stay, or letting him go and out of her life for good. But what does Robby have up his sleeve for her that her own best friend knows of but won't even hint to what it is?
And, most of all, sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.

Tangled Destinies
Three sisters. Three love stories. One unbreakable bond. When Mirha, Riya, and Alya fall in love with three men in South Korea, they think their biggest challenge will be convincing their strict family back home. But there's one problem-they refuse to get married before their eldest sister, Mahek. Mahek has spent her life sacrificing for her family, never allowing herself the chance to dream of love. To her, romance is a luxury she can't afford-not when she still feels responsible for her sisters. But her sisters refuse to move forward until she does, and they have the perfect plan to make fate do the work for them. With no other choice, the six drag their three unsuspecting "hyungs"-Jin, Namjoon, and Yoongi-to Bangladesh under the pretense of attending a cousin's wedding. But beneath the vibrant celebrations, mischievous matchmaking, and tangled emotions, something unexpected happens. While Mirha struggles to escape Taehyung's relentless spontaneity, Riya fights off Jimin's infuriating charm, and Alya constantly pulls Hoseok into her wild schemes, the real challenge lies with Mahek. Her sisters may have set their sights on Namjoon as the perfect match, but Mahek knows better. She likes him, but not like that. And if they think she'll fall for Jin, they're delusional-he's practically her bhaiya, and she's just his dongsaeng. But there's one person they didn't consider. One man who sees through her walls. One man who challenges her in a way no one ever has. As the lines between duty and desire blur, Mahek is forced to face the one thing she's always ignored-her own heart. In a whirlwind of fate, family, and forbidden love, will these six be able to take control of their own destinies? Or will love slip through their fingers like threads of fate unraveling?Complete
