Victor Gu was never meant to be hers. Seven years later, he returns colder, untouchable… and engaged to another. And yet, the one woman he was supposed to forget is the only one he cannot let go. In a world of duty and arranged alliances, some loves refuse to stay buried.

Some loves don’t fade. They wait.
He was never meant to notice her — just a quiet waitress with secrets tucked behind careful smiles. But Edmund Ashcombe watches… and once he does, he doesn’t stop. What begins as harmless curiosity turns into something far more dangerous: obsession, tenderness, and a connection neither of them can explain — or escape.
✨ In a world of class, reputation, and unspoken rules, she was never supposed to matter… and yet, she becomes the one thing he cannot let go of.
About Me
I am a self-professed millennial grandma writing old-world romance with a soft spot for frills, lace, fictional husbands, and tender happily-ever-afters. 🤍
I love weaving cross-cultural characters and settings into nostalgic historical love stories — slow burn, emotionally sweet, and always a little dreamy.
My loves are my two cats, Flynn and Lola and my husband (cats come first, of course). I love a good solo arts and craft session, taking my book for a walk and trooping about town like a tourist – there are always new gems to discover and capture.
Treasures in life I harbour are my friends, my shelves of books and a good old yarn over a hot cup of coffee and brunch. Morning walks by the river and a solid sunny day are my weakness.
I am born, bred and based in Sydney, Australia. You can find me on Instagram at @priscillaliwriter
“While I sometimes experiment with modern creative tools like AI for inspiration or polishing, the romance, characters, and emotional core of my stories are entirely my own.”
