Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park

When Emily moves to a quiet town to escape her tumultuous past, she never expects to find herself drawn to someone as mysterious as Adrian a brooding yet captivating stranger with a secret that could change everything. Their chance encounter reveals a strange, undeniable connection, one that transcends time and logic. As strange occurrences begin to unfold around them, Emily discovers that Adrian isn't just an ordinary man, but someone tied to an ancient, paranormal force that has been waiting for her. Together, they must unravel a series of cryptic clues and face supernatural forces that threaten their lives, all while questioning whether their connection is a blessing or a curse. Fated Connection is a hauntingly romantic paranormal story about destiny, love, and the unearthly bond that can never be broken.
