how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin

Siya si Filipa Natalia Ferrer o kilala sa palayaw niyang Pipay. Tubong Pampanga. Anak ng isang maralitang magsasaka. Simple lamang ang pangarap niya sa buhay. Mabigyan ng maginhawang buhay ang mga magulang at kapatid. At isa lamang ang naiisip niyang paraan para maisagawa ang ganoong misyon sa buhay---ang Tita Chayong niya na matagal nang nakabase sa Japan. No'ng una inisip niyang mag-asawa na lang ng matandang Hapon para mapadali ang pagtupad niya sa number one life goal niya. Subalit nang mapag-alaman niyang maaari rin pala niyang magamit ang tinapos na kurso sa Education, nagpursige na siyang maghanap ng trabaho bilang English teacher. Kaso sa kasamaang palad ay hindi siya matanggap-tanggap sa mga pinag-aaplayan... Siya naman si Kaito Furukawa. Nag-iisang anak ng may-ari ng Furukawa Builders, ang pinakamalaking construction company sa buong Kansai. Sanay siya sa maluhong buhay. 'Ika nga'y nakahiga sa salapi. By a twist of fate, nagkrus ang landas nila ng ating dalagang Pilipina na simula't sapol ay mainit na ang dugo sa binata. Napagkamalan pa niya itong bulakbol na salary man kahit na ilang beses nang sabihan ng tiyahin na galing ito sa mayamang angkan sa Osaka. Ang tingin kasi ni Pipay dito batugan, pero dahil kaibigan ng tiyahin niya ang ama nito'y bini-build up na lang sa kanya para may pumatol ding babae. Ano kaya ang magiging reaksiyon ni Pipay kapag nalaman niya na ang inakalang bulakbol na salary man ay may-ari pala ng pinakamalaking video game company sa buong Japan at nag-iisang tagapagmana ng Furukawa group of companies?
