Set in LA

In this modern retelling of Jane Austen's PERSUASION, a K-drama actress gets her second chance at love with the man she left to save her family.

--------------------------

Anne Lee told herself that breaking up with Frederick Nam was the best way she could love him. To save her father from bankruptcy, she dropped out of UC San Diego and pursued an acting career in Korea. To stop Frederick from following her and ruining his future, she had to let him go. It's been ten years, and thoughts of him refuse to stay in the past...

Frederick spent years loving Anne. Missing her came just as easily as hating her, but he had to live his life for himself. In her absence, he followed his dream and became a firefighter in Culver City. He didn't need romance. He had his work and his friends.

Returning to Los Angeles, Anne and Frederick find themselves in the same wedding-as a bridesmaid and groomsman. Even though he is cold and distant with her, Anne can no longer deny that she never got over him. Not even close. As for Frederick, needing to take care of Anne is a habit he can't seem to kick, but forgiving her is as hard as denying his feelings.

Jayci Lee writes poignant, sexy, and laugh-out-loud romance every free second she can scavenge and is semi-retired from her fifteen-year career as a defense litigator. She loves food, wine, and travelling, and incidentally so do her characters. Jayci lives in sunny California with her tall-dark-and-handsome husband, two amazing boys with boundless energy, and a fluffy rescue whose cuteness is a major distraction.
