This story is like slow food. If you don’t enjoy slow-cooked meals, you might want to move on to another story. But if that’s not the case… Second, set between Barcelona and Seoul, follows Cheong Sara, a Korean engineer raised in Spain who has spent her entire life feeling like she doesn’t fully belong anywhere. At thirty, successful but emotionally detached, she returns to South Korea for the first time in a decade, hoping to reconnect with the roots she lost. But Seoul doesn’t give her the answers she expects. Instead, she meets Nari, a woman who has rejected the life Sara’s parents once fled… and Seon-woo, a reserved publishing CEO whose perfect life hides a quiet emptiness. What begins as a search for identity slowly turns into something deeper—an unexpected journey of love, memory, and second chances. As Sara moves between Barcelona and Seoul, she is forced to confront the parts of herself she has long avoided. Through her relationships and the lives of those around her—each struggling with ambition, illness, intimacy, and family—she begins to understand that becoming someone new often means facing who you used to be. Second is a contemporary emotional romance about identity, distance, and the fragile process of rebuilding yourself in your thirties. It is a story about second chances, quiet resilience, and the invisible threads that tie us to the places and people we try to leave behind. New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

In a city where medicine is currency and compassion is a liability, one doctor makes a decision he cannot undo. Christian believed saving lives was enough. He was wrong. As patients drowning in debt begin to disappear from his care, Christian uncovers a shadow network operating behind hospital doors — a system that profits not from death, but from survival at the right price. Prescriptions are rewritten. Records vanish. Suffering is monetized. Every choice he makes saves someone. Every choice tightens the trap. To fight the system, Christian must stay inside it — manipulating diagnoses, bending ethics, and prescribing hope in ways no medical code allows. The deeper he goes, the harder it becomes to tell whether he is exposing corruption… or becoming part of it. How many lives are worth one lie? And when does a doctor stop healing — and start deciding who deserves to live?

Above Love Victoria Lennox has spent her life proving she is untouchable. At thirty-four, she is the youngest self-made woman ever to break eleven figures, the most feared name on Wall Street, and the undisputed queen of Manhattan. Love, in her experience, is a liability best left to weaker people. She has built an empire on that conviction: marble penthouses, private jets, and a heart sealed behind bullet-proof glass. Then a rainy night, a totaled Bugatti, and forty-seven seconds of clinical death change everything. A stranger drags her from the wreckage. She never sees his face—only the distinctive crescent-moon birthmark on the back of his right hand—before he disappears into the storm. When Victoria wakes in a private hospital suite with titanium in her femur and a debt she cannot quantify, she does what she has always done: she hunts. She finds him living in a Bushwick warehouse, fixing pipes for old ladies and donating half his income to a no-kill shelter. His name is Elias Crowe—former Army Ranger, Purple Heart recipient, and the one man in New York who wants absolutely nothing from her. She offers money. He refuses. She offers gratitude wrapped in couture and orchids. He donates the orchids to the hospital where she recovered. Every gift, every grand gesture, every attempt to buy absolution is met with the same quiet, unshakable rejection. So Victoria does the one thing she swore she would never do again: she shows up. In jeans. In the rain. In kennels that smell like bleach and hope. Slowly, infuriatingly, the ice begins to crack. What starts as obsession becomes something far more dangerous: partnership, laughter, Sunday mornings that taste like coffee and pancakes, and a three-legged pit bull who decides Victoria belongs to them both. Elias never asks her to be less than the ruthless titan she is; he simply refuses to let her be lonely while she’s being it. But Victoria has spent fifteen years learning that love is a loaded gun with someone else’s finger on the trigger. When the past comes roaring back—old betrayals, boardroom coups, and the terrifying vulnerability of needing another person—she will have to decide whether the empire she built is worth more than the man who taught her heart how to beat again. A searing, witty, deeply romantic story about what happens when the woman who has everything discovers the one thing money can’t buy—and the man brave enough to make her earn it. Above Love is a standalone contemporary romance with heat, humor, zero cheating, a hard-won HEA, and a dog who steals every scene she’s in.
