Ye-Jun

2023

A Contemporary K-Pop Rockstar Romance 2 Hot 2 Handle is a Korean pop group who were once rather . . . unremarkable. When their leader, Kwan, left for the military, their next two albums were—well—not great. Until their manager got the idea to let their maknae, Park Ye-Jun (AKA Starr), take the main vocalist position . . . With just one performance on a popular Asian award show, 2H2H are suddenly the talk of the internet. Even when Kwan returns from the military, it's clear that Ye-Jun is now their main vocalist. Absolutely terrified, Ye-Jun hops a plane from Seoul to Chicago in order to train his voice and ensure he's prepared for this new, daunting position. He just never expected to meet the girl of his dreams there. Yvie is a plus-sized tattoo artist and avid heavy metal fan. She absolutely wants nothing whatsoever to do with K-pop. Until Ye-Jun walks into her shop—and it seems like time stops. This sweet, gorgeous, soulful-voiced man turns her life—and her heart—upside down in an instant—and she has no idea how to handle it. But it's widely known that K-pop stars don't date, lest they alienate their predominantly female fanbase. And even if Ye-Jun would give Yvie the time of day, there's no way they can be together. . . right? Yvie takes drastic action to see what might happen, but will her bravery be rewarded, or will her heart be broken? And how can Ye-Jun handle his new duties in the band when it seems like every woman he encounters is trying to drive him insane? Note: 2 Hot 2 Handle is a 6-book shared world contemporary romance series, set around the world of K-pop. All books are first person POV and have a HEA, and are brought to you by some of your favourite authors!
