THE LIONESS ARRIVES

THE LIONESS ARRIVES is a contemporary second-chance romance centred around two powerful individuals who were destined not to become strangers. Pihu is the Lioness. She is beautiful enough to make people stare, confident enough to make them second-guess, and dangerous enough that even the top bosses dare not cross her path. Pihu does not seek power.Power seeks her. Her enemies fear her, her rivals respect her, and anyone foolish enough to mistake her beauty for weakness learns why she was named Lioness. Pihu does not need anyone to save her, control her, or fight her battles. She is in want of an equal.Someone strong enough to stand beside her and not try to break her bones. And the one man she has in mind is Baek Junhyunk. Billionaire. Business magnate. Basketball captain. Heir to the Baek dynasty. Junhyunk is a man used to getting what he wants. He is cold, calculating, ambitious, and powerful enough that people think twice before challenging him. He does not beg, chase, or explain. He takes action, and others live through his actions. The one thing Junhyunk has never been able to control is his feelings for Pihu. The two had befriended each other during school days, partly due to Junhyunk's little sister, Baek Jenna. What had started as mere friendship, teasing, and banter had turned into something much deeper. Then they parted. Two years have since passed. Junhyunk went on with his life, never able to move on. During those two years, his childhood friend Liza had been beside him. She had cared for him, supported him, and stood by him when he needed her most. Kind, talented, and adored by the Baek family, Liza had taken an important place in Junhyunk's life. She is the one who genuinely loves him. But she is not his enemy. Junhyunk knows he can never repay her kindness with the love she longs for, because his heart belongs somewhere else. It belonged to his Lioness two years ago. And it still does. When Pihu finally returns, all the carefully built walls Junhyunk has put up come tumbling down. Their meeting is far from what one would call harmonious. Pihu does not forget the past, nor does she forget how to challenge Junhyunk. Junhyunk does not forget her either and refuses to pretend that two long years had changed anything between them. Their relationship is a constant back-and-forth of pride, attraction, jealousy, stubbornness, and undeniable chemistry. They tease each other.They spar.They flirt.They throw barbs at each other and pretend not to care. Neither wants to admit the other is still as desired as ever. And neither is willing to budge. Pihu is the Lioness. Junhyunk is the Prince Charming who was never meant to tame her. They are equals — two sharp minds, two stubborn hearts, and two dangerously sharp tongues. Liza's unrequited love, however, is not the only hurdle between Pihu and Junhyunk. Baek Jenna has an important role to play in the couple's story.
