Courtney Fortaverde has always felt like she was living in the shadow of her parents-her dad being one of the top justices in the country and her mom a national artist. Even though her family never pressured her, she couldn't escape the expectations of everyone around her. So when she failed to get into the most prestigious law school in the country, it felt like her world was falling apart. But then she took a chance and applied to the University of Cambridge and got accepted into the law program of Gonville & Caius College. Now, Courtney finally has the chance to start fresh, far away from those who see her as just her parents' daughter and prove to them that she is not just Courtney Fortaverde. But when she thought no one would know her-she met Alfynn Valle-just a man she had been stealing glances ever since high school but never once looked back. >> Alfynn Valle had always dreamed of becoming a professional tennis player, but that dream was shattered when an injury during a ranking match at Wimbledon cost him his chance. Devastated, he thought his life was over. But his father encouraged him to pursue a different path, so Alfynn decided to study law and got accepted into the University of Cambridge's Gonville & Caius College. For the past three years, Alfynn has been living quietly in England, hiding from the judgment he feared back home in the Philippines. His life takes an unexpected turn when his new apartment neighbor turns out to be Courtney-the girl who once had a huge crush on him and shared his first kiss. But now, Courtney doesn't even spare him a glance. Little does Courtney know, Alfynn used to steal glances at her, too... and now. Will they find themselves glancing at each other again?

Amara Solaire Delavine has spent years carrying the burden of the past and unable to forgive the person who ruined her life. It feels like she's been cruising on endless waves, constantly tossed around by her pain. But what if those waves could carry her to something more, something better? Sabi nila, ang pag-ibig ay hindi hinahanap, hindi hinihingi, hindi nabibili, hindi pinipilit, at hindi minamadali. It's something that hits you when you least expect it. And when it does, it's hard to get up especially when you fully swept away by the waves of love.

(Gemstone Chronicles #2) He tried to trap her heart, but instead, he was the one ensnared in the deep blue of her love.

They say he was a quiet man- someone who never spoke much in a crowd, who never laughed out loud, not even at a clown. But that never made sense to Sheir. Because the man she knew never knew how to shut up. Zien Silas Abarico was always the loudest when she was in the room... and the quietest when she wasn't. He memorized every part of her by heart, uttering her name, Sheir Rachel Dolina, as if it were the most delicate crystal- too fragile for anyone to touch, not even him. Their friendship was perfectly imperfect. He was whole; she was empty. She liked him. He didn't- or at least, that's what she chose to believe. But still, they clicked. He filled every broken part of her, sealed all the cracks, soothed the bruises she hid so well- only for him to break them apart again, worse than they were before. Now, she can't even pick up the pieces he made because the cut stings so bad it hurt. So how can they go back to the friendship they made after all the pain they caused? How can they look in each other's eyes and pretend like the years they spend was just a fleeting memory? Can things really go back to the way they were? Or will they have to accept that not all friendships are meant to last... And not all love is meant to be known? Because some stories are just meant to be left- Unsaid. And unheard.
