A Tender Kiss

Welcome to add this to your collection! My new novel next door, The Kiss That Lures, features a heroine who knows when to retreat to advance and uses her high intelligence to win over her love interest. Let's find out together whether the hero will mend his ways or willingly become prey caught in a trap.

Blurb 1:

Newcomer actress Bai Mian is lovely, beautiful, and talented. Scandals have followed her since her debut.

She had dinner with an award-winning actor today, and a top-tier star's younger brother visited her set yesterday.

One day, a video tagged #BaiMianAndHerSugarDaddyReturnToTheHotelTogetherSecretRendezvous72HoursLater# shot to the top of the trending list, where it stayed for ages.

Everyone started gossiping. Fans from every corner gathered, some delighted and others worried, and all sorts of opinions flew around.

For a while, congratulations and curses rang out side by side.

Fan: No way. Mianmian is my wife.

Fan: Big sis belongs to me alone!!

Fan: No, I can't accept this.

Then Shen Xunzhi of the Shen Group posted: No sugar daddy. Let me make a proper introduction: I'm Bai Mian's husband, Shen Xunzhi.

Netizens were instantly left dumbfounded.

What is going on!!! In just one day, we got hit with such earth-shattering gossip.

But before the fans could react, Bai Mian posted a clarification.

Bai Mian: Single.

Fans...

We smell gossip.

At the set of a movie, word spread that the mysterious investor behind this major production would be visiting in person. The director and the rest of the crew lined up to welcome him.

Only Bai Mian, the actress constantly surrounded by rumors, remained unmoved.

In the crew's temporary dressing room, a man blocked Bai Mian's way out. When she looked up, she met his half-smiling gaze.

Shen Xunzhi toyed with the script in his hand, his voice dangerous. "Single? Mianmian, you took what you wanted and won't take responsibility?"

Bai Mian wore her costume, her red lips enticingly vivid. She was utterly at ease in her heartbreaker role. "President Shen, wasn't my transfer generous enough? That's about the going rate for a top escort."

Shen Xunzhi…

Reading guide:

Gorgeous, troublemaking little temptress vs. cold, abstinent older man

10-year age gap

Both are each other's first and only.

The hero is aloof at first. Later, the heroine walks away with carefree grace, and the poor, lonely hero has to chase his wife through a miserable reconciliation arc.

The entire story stays focused on the two leads, with no unnecessary side characters.

A fluffy, brainless sweet romance, with a little angst as an appetizer.

I'm working hard to build up a backlog...
