Summary
Zoey Han never expected to return to Seoul.
Not after building a promising medical career in LA.
Not after vowing she would never face the country she left behind.But when her little sister is diagnosed with leukemia, Zoey gives up everything — her white coat, her future, her pride — to bring Hana home for a last chance at treatment. With bills climbing and time running out, Zoey takes the only job she can get: a janitress at Hwarang Tower.
A building secretly owned by the most feared mafia syndicate in Seoul.
One night, after a late shift, Zoey accidentally witnesses a murder she was never meant to see.
Dragged before the syndicate’s dual bosses — the cold, calculating Ryu Rumi and the sharp-tongued, dangerously charming Kang Mira — Zoey does the only thing she can think of to survive:She reveals she used to be a doctor… and offers to clean up the body without a trace.
What begins as a desperate gamble becomes a dangerous partnership.
A double life.
A slow, impossible entanglement with two women she should fear — but slowly begins to trust.
And maybe even love.Bookmarked by IslandOnce

Summary
Rumi spends her life studying what she can't escape—her blood.
When a stray DNA sample leads her to Zoey, a biologist with anomalies no human should have, and Mira, a conservationist marked by something hungry, science stops being sterile.What begins in the lab becomes a chase across borders, across species, across the thin membrane between human and monster.
They were never meant to find each other.
But under the microscope, everything looks beautiful.Bookmarked by IslandOnce

Summary
Mira and Zoey confront Celine on her lies. Mira's anger is explosive, but Zoey's is quiet. Quiet enough for her to notice that Celine is just as rattled by the events of the Idol Awards as they are, and that looking at Celine is uncomfortably like looking in a mirror.

Summary
Werewolves and vampires don’t mix—everyone knows that. But when Zoey crosses paths with Rumi at her new school, the polished and perfectly poised royal vampire, (and niece of the headmistress) the wolf in her chest just won’t listen to reason.
Something about Rumi calls to her. Something old, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
New school. Old feud. One very pretty problem.
Zoerumi / Zoey-centric
