Meant To Be
In Worth Fighting For, the final entry in the Meant to Be romance anthology, Jesse Q. Sutanto reimagines the legend of Mulan through a sharply modern lens, one that trades swords for spreadsheets and battlefield deception for high-stakes corporate impersonation. The result is a story that doesn’t shout for attention but instead lingers with quiet force.
Set in the unlikely meeting ground of a luxury ranch and the competitive world of finance, the novel follows a woman who steps into her brother’s identity to salvage her family’s future. What begins as a calculated risk unfolds into something much messier, a tug-of-war between obligation and desire, personal truth and cultural expectation. The tone is slyly funny one moment, then disarmingly sincere the next, echoing the author's signature blend of emotional depth and sharp observational wit.
Unlike many series where continuity ties the books together, Meant to Be is linked not by plot but by spirit, a reimagining of iconic fairy tales grounded in contemporary realities. In this final installment, the atmosphere is both intimate and charged, filled with stolen glances, mounting tension, and a love story that refuses to follow the rules.
Meant To Be consists of five books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
