But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

For money, Jin Jumo "signed" herself to the business tycoon Rong Mochen, for a period of one year. Upon their first meeting, the man's voice was icy, "I like women who keep their place, understand?" "Yes." Jin Jumo nodded lightly. So, Jin Jumo always adhered to her place, tightly locking her heart away, never crossing the line. If there was anything in her relationship with Rong Mochen that Jin Jumo hadn't anticipated, it would be... --- "Mr. Rong, our contract expired a week ago." Jin Jumo lightly curved her lips, giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her. "So?" "So, Mr. Rong, are you playing rogue now?" Jin Jumo gritted her teeth.

The little bun bit his chubby fingers, looking at the little boy beside him who was slightly taller. "Yes." The boy squinted, his gaze coldly fixed on the televised global sensation of the Rong Family's president's luxurious engagement ceremony. "But didn't Brother say that the old man named Rong is our real dad?" Jin Jumo, who had just stepped into the house, was nearly collapsing inside. How did the two little guys know Rong Mochen was...

The first meeting was at a small bar. A friend nudged his arm, smiling somewhat suggestively: A woman like Daisy Ginger should be kept in a vase, constantly admired, and toyed with at any moment. At that time, she seemed to be drunk and was persuaded by her friend to take to the dance floor and perform a dance. He propped up his face, watching the glamorous woman with casual indifference under the dazzling lights. Daisy Ginger. The name is spicy enough. The figure. Also spicy enough. * Banyan City’s young Master Wen, afflicted with a severe illness, was deemed by doctors at birth to not live past the age of thirty.

"In Crimson Bay, the only thing deeper than the ocean is the lies." Detective Maya Reeves thought she'd left her terror behind in Los Angeles. After a corruption scandal destroyed her career and nearly took her life, she fled to the quiet seaside town of Crimson Bay to start over as a private detective—hoping for peace, for healing, for invisibility. But within 48 hours of her arrival, she finds the body of seventeen-year-old Emma Chen on the rocks beneath the cliffs. The local cops rule it a tragic accident. The locals whisper warnings: "Don't ask questions. Don't trust anyone. Leave while you still can." Maya can't walk away. Not when she sees the same cover-up tactics that destroyed her life in LA. Not when Emma's devastated older brother—tech billionaire Daniel Chen—offers her endless resources to find the truth, no matter the cost. Daniel Chen built his empire on cold reasoning and ruthless efficiency. After losing his parents young and raising his sister alone, he trusted no one and loved nothing except Emma. Now she's gone, and the emotionless CEO everyone fears is unraveling. He should hate Maya for being the one who found his sister's body. Instead, he finds himself pulled to the broken detective who refuses to give up, who fights for Emma with the same fierce protectiveness he once showed his sister. As Maya digs deeper, she finds a web of trafficking, drugs, and murder that reaches the town's most powerful families. Someone is watching her every move. Her apartment is broken into. Her stop lines are cut. And the closer she gets to Daniel—the more their professional relationship ignites into something dangerously real—the more she knows the corruption in Crimson Bay is connected to the scandal that destroyed her in LA. Her old partner, the man who betrayed her and framed her for crimes she didn't commit, is here. And he'll kill anyone who threatens to expose the truth—including the one woman Daniel Chen has finally allowed himself to love. In a town built on lies, falling in love might be the greatest mistake of all.
