Synopsis
“If you two aren’t dating, then why did you spend the night together?” My mother gave us both a questioning expression.
The kitchen fell silent, neither one of us knowing what to say.
“Please don’t tell me you two are just fucking?”
Leave it to mothers to make everything awkward.
-
Hannah Oba was a badass by any measure – royal, rich and incredibly sexy. With an ice heart and sassy attitude, the rebellious princess had mastered the art of not giving a damn.
Getting a job at one of the world’s largest corporations, she never imagined she’d get entangled with her boss’s adopted son, Park-Lee Junghwan.
Junghwan was everything she hated – charming, kind and a ray of sunshine. With his puppy-like personality and sparkling eyes, something about the raven-haired boy just rubbed her the wrong way.
However, when she accidentally spends a night with him, things quickly get complicated.
Having no choice, Hannah is forced into a fake relationship with the one person she despises. But the line between the truth and deception becomes blurred when the demons of her past come knocking.
Someone wants her dead, and they will stop at nothing to make it happen.
Now everything she’s ever cared for is at risk, including the starry-eyed man with secrets pretending to be her lover. Can they overcome their enemies and escape her dark past?
Or will they both discover that love is always a losing game?
NOTE:
This is a SHORT STORY of only 30 chapters. So if you're looking for a quick but captivating romance then this is just for you.

Happy reading!

Write a reviewthat's a beautiful story.. i absolutely enjoyed it.. i don't want to be greedy,[img=update][img=update] but i hope you can add i side story of a marriage and baby for the happiness of Janet and (me) 😅😅
an excellent take with wonderful POC representation, in dept characters, a very thorny rose and a brave survivor with a smiling armour. Short and very very sweet with serious moments and proper representation of serious matters.
This is a great book… not super long, but the characters sure draw you in and it’s definitely a page turner (page swiped). I totally binge read it, because I could not put it down. Thanks, author, for a good read! ❤️
⚠️ Warning : This book is very addictive !The story is super well written, and I love how dramatic Hannah is. I'm not usually a fan of first person POV, but the characters are so funny and relatable that I actually enjoyed it.And of course, their romantic tension is just right and it kind of reminds me of a rom-com. Overall, great story!

Splendid! Splendid! A captivating story that made me feel different emotions within a short time. The story is fast paced and doesn't leave any details behind. kudos to the author!!!!
A beautiful story between 2 different nationality 🥰 Loved how welcoming Hannah's family were. Thank you for the lovely short read
I wasn't expecting much when I picked up this book, but it surprised me. It's actually very addictive to read and you won't want to put it down until you've read every last chapter. I'd highly recommend👏👏👏
I love this story so much! If you're looking for a good romance read with all the good tropes but unique plot lines, this is it!
I don't usually like to drop reviews for books but this story is actually really good. The plot line is addictive, the characters are interesting and the grammar is flawless.I'd definitely be reading more!
Great story author! It's very interesting and I can't wait to see how Hannah and Hwan's story ends👍
Author please update the book more! I love your other book so I'm looking forward to this new one!
If you're looking for timeless tropes with a twist, this is it. I like how it's more of a bad boy-good girl story but the genders are reversed. That's not very common.I actually really like the story so far and I'm curious to see where it'll go.

really enjoyed it. even though it's a short story it feels longer, esp if you pace yourself. also it doesn't leave you with unanswered questions or plot holes. if you like romance and a fast pace drama story about two unlikely people finding each other in their darkest of times.. then you will like this. No waiting for reveals,or miss understandings. it is different from the same old romance novels you read on here, makes more sense for me. The FL is rough at first, but don't give up just based on this as it will all come in to place.
