Today's Kind of Fairytale

Clara, a fiercely independent graphic designer and new single mother to adorable baby Leo, is on the brink. With a career-defining project looming and her childcare plans in smithereens, she’s out of options and almost out of caffeine. Across the hall in their vibrant Artisan’s Quarter apartment building lives Ethan, a meticulous, career-driven architect whose perfectly ordered world is as sleek and minimalist as his ambitions are grand. He needs a “stable partner” image—fast—to clinch a make-or-break partnership at Sterling & Finch. A desperate situation calls for a desperate solution: the "Project Co-Habitation & Career Advancement Mutual Assistance Pact." It’s a hilariously formal, strictly platonic agreement where Ethan becomes Leo’s weekday caregiver in exchange for Clara playing the role of his devoted partner at crucial work events. Lines are drawn, rules are made (mostly in a shared, sarcastically annotated Google Doc), and disaster is meticulously planned for. But as Bridgewood City buzzes around them, and baby Leo’s innocent charm works its magic, the carefully constructed walls between Clara and Ethan begin to crumble. Late-night baby duties turn into shared laughter, business arrangements blur into unexpected tenderness, and the undeniable chemistry simmering beneath their witty banter becomes too potent to ignore. Can their unconventional pact survive the intrusion of real, messy emotions? Or will the fine print of their deal be hilariously rewritten by a love that was never part of the plan? "Today's Kind of Fairytale" is a witty, heartwarming contemporary romance about unexpected love, the beautiful chaos of modern parenting, and finding your own version of happily ever after, right where you least expect it.

Echoes of Time, Battle of Palaces

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .
