    A sweet feast! Four romance novels to embark on a heart-fluttering journey. In *When Dawn Breaks, You'll Be Back*, the deep affection of waiting for the dawn in the long, dark night transforms every wait into the prelude to love. *My Rough-around-the-Top Guy Makes My Little Darling Cry Again*, a blend of wildness and tenderness, depicts the daily life of a rough-around-the-edges man and his sweetheart, filled with blushing, heart-pounding interactions, and overflowing sweetness. *Four Years of Separation in Military Marriage, the Countryside Wife Joins Her in the Army*, breaks the conventional military marriage setting, with the suspense of four years of separation and the clashes and adjustments after joining the army, composing a unique romantic love song. In *I Want You to Coax Me*, the sweet and doting dialogue is a unique code between lovers, and every act of coaxing warms the love. These four novels are either deeply affectionate, sweet, or full of twists and surprises.
