The Vow We Never Chose
In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans. Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember. Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride. Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny. Love isn't part of the plan. But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.Complete

Amaris, born into a bloodline rumored to be cursed, becomes the perfect scapegoat. But what the villagers call a curse is really a natural plague/fungi, bacteria, and fear, mistaken for witchcraft. When Tarinne dies and Amaris is cast out, something unnatural takes hold. Amaris stops aging, left frozen in her teen body while the world moves on without her. Tarinne is reincarnated again and again, living a new life in every generation, never remembering the love they once shared. Now it's 2022. Amber still looks seventeen, still wanders from town to town, still waits. She's enrolled in high school once again, hiding in plain sight. And Tara? She's just another teenager in a sleepy town built near the ruins of old Greyhaven. Until a history lesson on colonial witch trials stirs something deep inside her. Then she overhears Amber, alone, muttering about curses, plague, and a name that shouldn't mean anything to her: Tarinne. Tara doesn't remember. But Amber never forgot. As strange coincidences begin to mount, Tara starts to dig deeper into the curse, the plague, and the girl who stares at her like she's centuries lost. This time, the truth might surface. And with it, a way to finally end the curse.Complete

She plans to sell the old cottage and return quickly-but grief and memories root her longer than expected.

Now, Kornnaphat must learn how to live again-and hide her secret from the village while living as a "relative" of Ling's. As they live and bake and rebuild, romantic feelings bloom. But shadows stir. The old witch's descendants still hunt for Kornnaphat, afraid her rebirth could unravel their hidden magic. Now, Ling and Kornnaphat must protect each other while deciding if their love is truly fate-or just another part of the curse.Complete
