On our tenth wedding anniversary, I wanted my husband, who is a photographer, to take a set of boudoir photos for me. He refused, claiming he only knew how to photograph babies. That evening, I helped my drunk husband back to his own room. A portrait photo album fell to the floor. It was full of boudoir photos of his childhood sweetheart. When I confronted him, my husband accused me of making a big deal out of nothing, and our daughter didn't understand my reaction either. Late that night, I saw a photo of the three of them together on his childhood sweetheart's social media. The caption read: "Taking a break, getting ready to start the next chapter of life." On our tenth wedding anniversary, my husband took our child out to be with another woman. I finally realized he had been deceiving me for ten years.

"You abandoned me like if I didn't exist. What do you expect when you return now? Pardon? A second opportunity? Lennox, I'm no longer that helpless boy. The man who learnt to survive without you is me. Lennox Gray was meant to be unique. Ten years ago, she made the decision to leave Willowbrook and the boy she loved, Caden Rivers, to pursue her dreams of becoming a photographer in New York. She was talented, ambitious, and desperate to get away from the oppressive small town that whispered about her "charity case" existence living with her aunt after her parents' deaths. She believed that she was rescuing them both from a life of mediocrity. She made a mistake. Lennox, now a well-known photographer whose fame is waning as quickly as it came, returns to Willowbrook for her aunt's urgent surgery after being publically betrayed by both her fiancé, who stole her art, and her best friend, who took her man. She is anxious to hide from the controversy ruining her career because she is broke. She is completely destroyed by what she discovers. The "nobody" she left behind, Caden Rivers, is now a rich CEO who owns half of the Pacific Northwest. The man who creates empires was once a boy who worked in his father's shop fixing automobiles. The kind, compassionate person who showed her unwavering love is now cold, cruel, and engaged to the town's most beautiful girl. However, when Lennox's aunt requires costly medical care that Lennox cannot afford, Caden offers her a retaliatory offer: pose as his fiancée in order to make his true fiancée envious and secure a vital business merger. He will pay for everything in return. The guidelines are straightforward: no genuine emotions, no going back in time, and no falling in love ever again. Caden, however, is engaging in a more complex game. The woman who ruined him has returned, defenseless and desperate, after ten years of building his business on the ashes of his broken heart. He ought to desire retribution. He ought to wish to inflict the same suffering on her that he did. However, Caden discovers three heartbreaking realities as forced closeness brings back memories of their former selves, stolen looks, and unintentional touches: The real villain has been lying in plain sight for ten years, pulling threads to keep them apart. Lennox never wanted to leave him, but someone forced her to. Lennox has to decide whether to fight for the love she has always desired or flee as she did before when the truth bursts. And without the one lady who ever considered him sufficient, Caden has to determine whether his billion-dollar empire is worth anything. To save him, she departed. To forget her, he created an empire. Now fate is giving them one last chance—if the secrets don't destroy them first.

Have you ever wondered what lies behind an idol's life? Suri never did, until she saw him. Vhy Joon is NEON7's perfect vocalist. With a flawless voice and an unreal beauty. But also a shitty attitude. Without a doubt, he is Hathor's king. With thousands of girls chasing after him, chanting his name and praising his smile. She, with a special eye and an old-fashioned camera, will venture through the halls of the prestigious Hathor High School as a scholarship student who doesn't belong in a school where everyone buys their worth. A single "How disgusting" was enough to teach her that the magic in this world, no matter how dazzling and luxurious, is nothing more than a beautiful mask. Resisting was one idea. Giving up was another. But, with an uncertain future, she chooses to fight, because she does have something to lose, and that is the only thing that keeps her going. Accompanied everywhere by a phrase from the man who gave color to the universe: "Astrophotography is not just about capturing stars, but about seeing the universe through new eyes." —David Malin. A story about art that unsettles, privilege that suffocates, and people who must choose: keep wearing their masks or risk being real? Because at Hathor, even being human comes at a price. And money can't pay it.

"You fled your previous life and came here. However, despite our best efforts, some of us are unable to run. The million Instagram followers of renowned travel photographer Elena Moretti think she has the ideal existence. Her fiancé Marcus and her best friend/business partner Jade have been routinely stealing her work, undermining her contracts, and preparing to force her out of her own brand the minute she signs the largest deal of her career. This is the heartbreaking truth hidden behind the filtered photos. Elena loses everything—not only her friendship and relationship—when she learns of their betrayal just hours before a gallery opening that would define her career. She is publicly portrayed by Marcus and Jade as unstable, envious, and creatively bankrupt. Overnight, her reputation falls apart. Sponsors abandon her. Marcus is supported by her family, who term her "dramatic" and "ungrateful" for discarding a "good man." Elena drives wildly into a strong coastal storm, shattered and eager to vanish. Near Lighthouse Cove, a village so far away that it doesn't show up on most maps, her car crashes on a cliff road. She ought to have passed away. Rather, she awakens in a stone cottage, alive and covered in bandages, gazing into the most piercing gray eyes she has ever seen. Callum Thorne is a local mystery, doctor, and lighthouse keeper of Lighthouse Cove. He moves with the ease of someone who once ruled rooms but now hides from the outside world. He is incredibly attractive but damaged. Although he has saved Elena's life, his generosity has limits. He hardly says anything, never smiles, and makes it obvious that she should leave as soon as she is well. However, the sole escape route has been damaged by the storm. For weeks or even months, Elena is stranded in Lighthouse Cove. And despite his icy demeanor, Callum finds it difficult to let go of the shattered lady fate brought to his door. Elena learns three unthinkable realities as she gradually recovers in the peculiar, ageless village: In addition to being a recluse, Callum is a prisoner of his own making; the reason he never leaves is because of a devastating promise and a guilt that is ruining him; and in some way, this man who has every reason to despise the world is demonstrating to her what true love looks like—patient, selfless, and horrifyingly real. However, Elena's former life is not over. When Marcus and Jade find out where she is, they come with cameras, attorneys, and a fresh strategy to destroy what little she still has. Callum has to decide whether to fight for the woman who has given him a reason to want to live again or to continue hiding from the horrors that have imprisoned him in this village. She was brought here by the storm. They may both be set free at last by love.
