Author(s):
Description:
Jade, a young French noblewoman, has a problem. Her parents expect her to marry a rich prince to save their dwindling family fortune. But Jade doesn't want to fall in line or in love--all she wants to do is pump iron. Jade's obsession with powerlifting and getting strong is at odds with the image of a delicate flower that society expects from her. When she sends a fellow high-society teen, obnoxious pretty boy Nathaniel, flying through a buffet table during a ball, it looks like Jade's secret may be out. But before a scandal erupts, the quick-thinking teen comes up with a brilliant excuse: Love made her do it. Jade finds herself in a dizzying courtship dance. Besides spoiled Nathaniel; there's Alexander -- a stable hand she wants to get lifting tips from; there's Eloise, a mean girl hiding a soft heart; and there's Simon, Nathaniel's insufferable best friend. Can Jade keep her secret and learn that strength isn't only measured by how much one can deadlift?

Behind five willows
Author(s):
Description:
As the dutiful second-eldest daughter of a poor family, society would have Haewon believe that her only hope of a decent life is to marry well.

When her older sister becomes smitten with a wealthy young gentleman, Haewon is roped into chaperoning them during their courtship. Which wouldn’t be so terrible, if it weren’t for the young man’s uptight and annoying best friend who also accompanies them. As the only son of a noble, Seojun has a lot expected of him. But certainly not frivolous and often illicit activities such as writing fiction. He’s kept his work secret, but the pressure of being his father’s son and the dispiriting actions of the government make Seojun question the purpose of it all. When his best friend falls hard for a girl of lower social status, Seojun finds himself forced to act as chaperone to the infatuated couple―along with the girl's younger sister, who is as irritating as she is judgmental.
