Dating Makes Perfect

Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The Tech sisters don’t date in high school. Not because they’re not asked. Not because they’re not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last name—hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because they’re not allowed. Until now. In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, six months after the older Tech twins got to college, their parents asked, “Why aren’t you engaged yet?” The sisters retaliated by vowing that they won’t marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they’ve had lots of the dating practice that they didn’t get in high school. In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka “Winnie”), must practice fake dating in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course—and organized based on their favorite rom-coms. ’Cause that won’t end in disaster. The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon—arrogant, infuriating, and way too good-looking. Winnie’s known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. And her parents love him. If only he weren’t her sworn enemy.

A Date with Death

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
A Date With Death is a novel dealing with two former lovers whose relationships were embroiled in both lust and hate encounters after a one-night stand. Toto, a former drug trafficker, turned over a new leaf and became a reborn Christian, contributing to the building of a new Church and setting up a legitimate tin manufacturing company. Molly Tam, an arms dealer with a dark secret past, had connections with the United States Senators, Congressmen and battleships' Commanders, contravened with shipments of military hardware from the States to the Tamil Tigers in Jaffna. Molly capitalized on the only asset she knew to procure favours from the top brass in the States and enlisted the Tamil Tigers to help her evil cause. Their interests conflicted and churned into hatred, resulting in a war when a subordinate of Toto was caught trafficking in heroin, a trap deliberately weaved by his ex-lover. A continuous chain of revenge from both camps leads to numerous deaths. The adventures take the players to far-flung places in South Africa and Texas, to those closer to home, including Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. One of Molly Tam's captives, a fortune teller who raped her, was satanically eliminated by Land Eating Piranhas, fondly termed The Black Widows, originating from the thick vegetations of Jaffna.
