Dominic John Pierceton is the perfect gentleman-a tall, devastatingly handsome American ambassador with a chiseled jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a carefully measured charm that commands every room. His life is built on control, his reputation spotless, his restraint unwavering. But the moment he meets Maria Elenna "Mela" Dellos Valles-Montejo-the shy, eighteen-year-old daughter of the Philippine President with a quiet grace that hides her own buried desires-his world tilts in ways he never anticipated. Mela's innocence is disarming, her blushes revealing what her lips won't dare say. She's only known men like him in the pages of her sister's forbidden romance novels, but Dominic's attention stirs something deeper, something that makes her heart race and leaves her wanting more. For Mela, the stakes are just as high; she knows how hard her mother worked to become president, and risking her family's reputation is the last thing she wants. Yet, with each encounter, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and her undeniable pull toward the ambassador. Dominic tells himself he must keep his distance, yet every stolen glance, every accidental touch ignites a desire he can't ignore. Bound by duty and a flawless public image, he's always been in control-but with Mela, that control begins to slip. Behind closed doors, propriety and restraint give way to something darker, a chemistry neither of them can resist. Their worlds are at stake, and yet, neither can bring themselves to walk away. With each encounter, the pull between them grows stronger, promising a forbidden romance that will test how far The Gentleman is willing to go-and just how much Mela is willing to risk.

Dr. Amelia Joan De Sario is a young, gorgeous, gifted, anesthesiologist who swore to never have her heart broken by a stupid and lying boy again. She just now views men like they were toys that she likes to mess with. She likes fake-flirting with them just to play with their feelings, has never taken their advances seriously, and only went on dates to get free meals for fun. Her new-found perspective seemed to uphold well until a tall, dark, tattooed handsome American-Spaniard General Surgeon named Dr. Marc Alvaro Ciervo walked into her operating room. He's quiet, and won't utter a sentence unless it's about medicine or if she's annoying him. She basically knows nothing about this man except that he is smoldering hot with perfect blue eyes and has tanned, veiny forearms and long fingers that appear to be talented---in the operating room. Somehow, all her values seem to be crumbling down whenever she sees him, and her curiosity about this man gnaws at her each day. She doesn't know if she should pursue it or let it go. She wanted to let it go because she knows that he could either be a delicious gift from cupid or another beautiful mistake who might cause greater pain with even bigger secrets and lies. Her heart is not prepared for that kind of risk. She refused to go through that again. However, like a malignant tumor, her need to know him and her physical attraction for him uncontrollably grows each day she spends in his presence.

Despite seeing the filth of humanity in the underground world of criminals, she still sees the glass half-full, wears all things bright and appears to be someone who has never seen cruelty in her life. She was content in hiding in the shadows, catching sickos behind her screen until she crossed paths with a super tall, hunky, and so-very handsome tech C.E.O, Simon Lucas G. Jonas. Right off the bat, she knew that he's her type, that if she was a computer keyboard, she will willingly let him put his flash drive in her USB port. And so, with a hope of impressing him and getting his attention, she broke into his supposedly hack-proof and fortress-like cyber wall, which got her ultimate crush' attention but also his burning hate. He won't touch her with a ten foot pole stick, avoids her like the plague, and looks at her like she was gum stuck at the bottom of his shoe. Her charm and her cuteness doesn't do anything but annoy the hell out of him. She thought she knew all the codes in the world, but it turns out, she still has yet to figure out the hardest one ever; The Code To His Heart.
