Publisher's Synopsis
I spoke with my father today, and as always, our conversation did nothing but remind me of the struggles I left behind in America. He criticized my life here in Daegu, South Korea as a teacher. He insisted I was losing touch with reality and choosing a life of leisure over hard work. Essentially, he told me to hurry and return home so I could follow in his footsteps and take over the family real estate business.
My friends and I often brush off discussions like this from family. We understand that they can't truly grasp how any place outside America could feel safe or desirable. After all, we're living our lives in ways they can't even imagine: working casually, dating freely, partying regularly, and feasting on Korean BBQ as if we're royalty. But here's the thing: What if he's right? It's easy to say I don't care about what they think, but what if I'm overlooking the deeper reasons for being here? Especially now that I've developed feelings for two people: Teagan, a mesmerizing recluse who makes me laugh and feel at home, and Shaina, a sultry vixen my body craves. Both pull me in different directions, each representing a path I could take. My family's pleas for me to return may carry more weight than I'm willing to admit and my romantic choices here could affect not just my future, but the hearts of those that have me feeling torn. This book is for those who dare to find their voice, challenge expectations, embrace life in a foreign land and, perhaps, even discover love along the way."
