Seoulside
Book One of the Seoulmates Trilogy
When Sammy Hayes moves to Seoul for a new job, she tells herself she’s there for one reason only: work.
New city. New role. New life.
She has no time for distraction, especially not in the orbit of Lee Seojin, the impossibly composed CEO whose presence seems to alter every room he enters. Powerful, private, and watched by everyone, Seojin is the kind of man Sammy knows better than to get too close to.
But proximity has its own gravity.
What begins as professional trust slowly sharpens into something far more dangerous: recognition, tension, and a quiet pull neither of them can explain away. In a world built on image, hierarchy, and careful distance, every glance begins to matter. Every silence starts to mean something. And every step toward each other risks changing far more than either of them is prepared for.
Set against the glittering elegance and invisible pressure of corporate Seoul, Seoul Side is a slow-burn romance about timing, restraint, emotional intimacy, and the moment two people realize they are no longer standing on opposite sides of anything.
Before the first kiss, before the life-altering choices, before love is spoken aloud, there is this:
the meeting,
the tension,
the almost,
and the beginning.
