Crown Princess Nova Gabrielle Charlotte Ashford was born to rule- not to be loved. After losing her mother at thirteen, Nova grew up in a palace that never truly felt like home. Surrounded by six half who resent her, so many mistresses who hates her and is jealous, and a father who calls her his favorite but is never truly there, she learned one thing early: She was alone. As the rightful heir to the throne, her future was never hers to choose. An arranged engagement seals her fate-duty over desire, always. Until him. Cassian Alaric Laurent is her bodyguard. Silent. Loyal. Forbidden. He was assigned to protect her life- not become part of it. But behind closed doors, away from the crown and expectations, Cassian shows Nova something she has never known before... Care. Safety. Love. The kind that isn't arranged. The kind that isn't earned. The kind that simply exists. But in a world where her heart doesn't belong to her, falling in love is the most dangerous thing she could do. Because princes can have mistresses. Princesses cannot have lovers. And when everything begins to fall apart, Nova will have to choose- the crown she was born for... or the man who taught her how to feel.

Between stolen glances, unexpected meetings, and unspoken feelings- their story begins with When Our Eyes Met.

"Hunda ae sajjan jo saahan ton zyada, Mangde aan jihnu duaavan ton zyada." (A beloved is someone who becomes more vital than your own breath; the one you ask for in your prayers above all else.) She was a girl who lived in the silence of her own thoughts, hiding behind a mask of indifference. After her trust was shattered, she deleted her stories and vowed never to be the protagonist again. But some names are written into your destiny before you even meet them. He became the Sajjan she didn't know she was waiting for-a breathing reality who doesn't just read her lines, but feels them. "Je likhne mein baith gayi, tanne to pakka main Kitab likhoongi." Because a few lines could never define him. He deserves an entire manuscript. From a shy glance in a crowded school hallway to the quiet 'I do' at the altar-this is a slow-burn journey of healing, growth, and a love so deep it required an entire lifetime to tell.

He was never meant to look at her that way. She was his brother's alpha best friend - powerful, untouchable, dangerous. Eli, a quiet omega boy used to being invisible, never expected his heart to choose the one person he could never have. But the way Ava watches him... the way her presence makes him feel seen... starts something neither of them can stop. In a house full of alphas, secrets begin to breathe. Glances turn into tension. Tension turns into obsession. Because some feelings aren't just forbidden... They're dangerous.

As cultures collide amid opulent chambers, moonlit gardens, and scented royal baths, forbidden attraction ignites, challenging tradition, honor, and destiny in a sweeping interracial historical romance filled with passion, danger, and unbreakable bonds.

Mae has always believed love should feel like poetry-soft, certain, and written just for her. But life has taught her otherwise. Between chasing her dreams and holding herself together in a city that never slows down, love is the last thing she expects to find-until Adam. Adam is everything she didn't plan for. Steady where she is restless. Guarded where she is open. And somehow, in the quiet spaces between their conversations, he begins to feel like home. But timing is a fragile thing, and love... even more so. As past wounds resurface and choices demand more than just feelings, Mae and Adam must decide- is love enough when everything else is uncertain? Or will they become just another almost story?

Elianna Bennett is 25, careful, and very good at keeping things contained. Seo Jae-hyun is 24, famous, and living a double life that is slowly taking him apart from the inside. One concert. One backstage encounter. One decision that seems, at the time, like nothing more than a beginning. Seven years later, they are still carrying what that beginning made.

Set between Seattle and Seoul, THE HANNAM-DONG SECRET is a slow-burning interracial romance about two people who fell in love at the wrong moment in the wrong circumstances and chose each other anyway - across an ocean, across a secret, across a daughter who grew up knowing her father through a phone screen and her first word was for him anyway.

There is a little girl who sees more than the adults around her have accounted for. There is love that is real and still, sometimes, not enough - until it is. If you are looking for a fast burn, keep walking. If you want something that stays with you - the kind of story that asks something real - this is yours. Drama. Distance. Two people learning, slowly, what it means to stop hiding. ©️ R. L.
