"My brother excels in everything, Chantal. He's a martial arts expert, a champion swimmer, he races cars like a madman... and he didn't just inherit my grandfather's looks but also Franco's business acumen and ambition. And women run after him as if he was the only man on earth..." Chantal indulged Quinn when she listened to his story about his superhero brother. Subalit hindi siya naniniwala rito. Ang James Navarro na ikinukuwento ni Quinn sa kanya'y produkto lamang ng imahinasyon nito... dahil naniniwala siyang ang ikinukuwento nito'y ang pagkatao na gusto nitong maging. But never in her wildest dreams that she would soon meet the man himself. Subalit may nakaligtaang ikuwento si Quinn sa kanya-James Navarro was also arrogant, rough, a bully, and the devil personified.

"There's a falling star!" bulalas ni Mirabelle, saka mabilis na tumayo at mula sa likuran ni Karl ay isinuksok ang dalawang kamay sa bulsa ng shorts nito. "Ano'ng ginagawa mo?" Karl was stunned. "Making a wish," she answered softly, her cheeks against his back, her eyes closed. Hindi magawa ni Karl na magsalita. Nasasamyo niya ang hininga ng estranghera, like a soft wind brushing his ear. Her breasts on his back radiated warmth. Ang mga kamay nito sa loob ng mga bulsa ng shorts niya ay ilang pulgada na lang mula sa hindi nararapat. And they were in the middle of the ocean, on a starry night, stranded on her fishing boat!

Mula sa mga holdaper ay iniligtas ni Bernard Fortalejo si Diana sa pamamagitan ng paghagis ng maraming pera sa mga ito. Pero hindi iyon pinahalagahan ni Diana na nagpupumilit tumakas at tumakbo. May humahabol sa kanya. Hindi niya alam kung kasama ang lalaking naghagis ng pera sa mga holdaper. Wala siyang maaaring pagkatiwalaan. Subalit hindi siya pinakawalan ni Bernard na nangangakong ilalayo siya... but there would be a price to pay at kumapit siya sa patalim. And Diana didn't even know his name but he promised safety. Pero ligtas ba siya sa mga matang kasing-itim ng gabi? Ligtas ba siya mula sa mga labing nangangako ng langit? At paano ang literal na panganib na nagbabadya sa kanya?

"Hindi lahat ng nagpapakasal ay nag-iibigan, Diana. I have loved a woman once, perhaps love her still. But I broke to pieces when she died. Hindi ko na gustong maranasan pa ang pangyayaring iyon. I will marry you because I desire you at dahil kailangan ko ng asawa," walang emosyong sabi ni Bernard. Hindi kailanman itinanggi ni Bernard na hanggang sa mga sandaling iyon ay mahal nito si Jewel. Pero inalok nito ng kasal si Diana nang dahil lang sa physical attraction nila sa isa't isa. Walang emotional attachment. Ano ang gagawin ni Diana? Nahahati siya sa pagitan ng panganib na nakabadya sa kanya at sa pag-ibig niya kay Bernard.

Muntik nang mabundol ni Aidan ng sasakyan ang isang babaeng basta na lang tumawid sa kalsada. Dinala niya ito sa ospital and found out that she couldn't remember anything about herself, maliban sa sariling pangalan-Samantha. She was a looker even without makeup, and gorgeous kahit roba ng ospital ang suot. And Aidan had this unwanted feeling of protecting her and he hated himself for that. Dahil kung ang karanasan niya sa mga babae ang pag-uusapan, he was a lousy judge of character. He easily fell for a vulnerable act. At si Samantha'y gayon. Fragile, vulnerable... and very much terrified. Terrified? Why? He intended to know.

Jenny Navarro. Socialite princess. Habang ang ibang anak ng mayayaman ay nasa ballet and piano lessons sa murang gulang, siya'y nasa ibabaw ng stallion. At nang magdalaga, habang ang mga kasinggulang niya'y nasa disco at social functions, siya'y dalubhasa sa martial arts at pagpapalipad ng helicopter and a markswoman. Zandro Fortalejo. Sa kanyang palagay ay si Jenny ang kabuuan ng babaeng hindi niya type. Wild, rich, and spoiled. Pero bakit niya tinanggap ang suhestiyon ni Franco that he tamed the wild heart?

Kurt La Pierre-ex-CIA. Ruthless, crude and vulgar. He was literally and figuratively dangerous. Lahat ng bagay na kinasusuklaman ng isang babae ay taglay nito. Except that this mysterious man had hypnotic eyes and lethally attractive. Para kay Kurt, basahan lang ang mga babae, dekorasyon sa kama at taga-satisfy ng biological needs nito. At hindi naiiba ang socialite na si Jade Ann Fortalejo de Silva. What made him hate women? Kapeng barako at krema. Iyon ang comparison kay Jade at sa bodyguard niya. Jade was totally out of Kurt's league. Ang kagaspangan nito ay nagpapanindig ng kanyang mga balahibo, lalo na ang mga sexual exploit ng lalaki. But she loved him... she loved him. Kaya ba niyang tunawin ang yelong nakapalibot sa puso ni Kurt?

Dana Isabella-Diana and Joshua's daughter- was curiously reading her dead grandmother's diary nang sa pag-angat niya ng ulo'y kakaiba na ang kanyang kapaligiran. She was in the same house... the same room and the same bed... tamang oras, araw, at buwan. Subalit hindi tamang taon. She was in her grandmother's house in Binondo in the year 1928! Back in time, she met the young Leon Fortalejo, bilang si Isabelita. And she fell in love with the handsome Spaniard. Pag-ibig na hindi nagkaroon ng katuparan kahit noong panahon ng kanyang Lola Isabelita. At nasa 1928 siya upang maisakatuparan iyon. Could she change history?

Bernard. Ibinigay niya ang pangalan at pag-ibig sa iisang babae. And blamed himself that she died. Nawalan ng direksiyon ang buhay niya and he thought that Diana could bring back his sanity. Diana. Pinakasalan niya si Bernard dahil mahal niya ito, dahil akala niya ay kaya niyang tanggapin na kalahati ng puso nito ay hindi kanya. And she was so wrong. Lance. He fell in love with a woman whose exotic beauty could make the gods swoon. She had coal-black eyes which he thought held so many passionate mysteries. The Black Diamond. Para sa kanya, iisa lang ang kahulugan ng buhay-si Bernard. She died and lived again for only one man. Feel the pain, the heartaches, the anguish and the magical love that defied time and death.
