The Royal Lie: A Tale Of Passion & Pride
“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.

Warming A Cold Heart
Hannah's POV
"Get out of my room, Jared."
He smiled widely as I shot him a glare. "I've missed you too, Sister."
Scoffing at his use of formal titles, I folded my arms across my chest. I've never liked my idiot brother, he was such a goody-two-shoes. With his dark skin, brown eyes and smiley personality, Jared was my exact description of a headache.
Bright, loud and obnoxious.
"Don't 'sister' me. Go away! In fact, why are you even here? I thought everyone had gone out?" I asked, not masking my annoyance.
"Yeah, everyone went to the President's birthday gala. I didn't feel like going, old men talking about their grandkids isn't my scene. Plus, I wanted to see you."
"Spare me the bullshit, Jared. Why are you really here?"
He sighed in an overly dramatic fashion, before giving me a mischievous smile. "Fine, you got me! I just wanted to see if all the rumours are true, and clearly they are. My sister has an Asian boyfriend!"
