His Smile, My Lie: A Contemporary Romance of Secrets, Redemption & Second Chances

By Jeffrey Cole

She lied her way in. Now she's caught in the spotlight... and in his line of fire.

Aspiring screenwriter Ji-ah never meant to humiliate Korea's most beloved actor-Hyun-woo-on live television. But when a desperate lie lands her a job on the production team of his next drama, she finds herself face-to-face with the man whose smoldering stare could melt steel... and whose memory of her very public mistake is far from forgotten.

Hyun-woo is charming on camera but cold behind the scenes. Determined to make her life miserable, he assigns her as his personal assistant. Ji-ah's days quickly become a disaster reel of spilled coffee, late-night errands, and tension-filled silence. Yet beneath the animosity lies something else-chemistry. Dangerous, electric chemistry.

As Ji-ah tries to keep her secret buried and her feelings in check, Hyun-woo begins to suspect there's more to her than meets the eye. But when the truth threatens to destroy them both, Ji-ah must decide: is love worth risking everything-including her dreams, her dignity, and her biggest lie?
