Rom-com PHR 2011 published book

A compilation of stories of love and lust that all started in No Tomorrow, a rave party.

Namasukan si Lulu bilang maid sa lalaking bagong uwi mula Amerika, si Joselito. Masyadong tahimik ang lalaki at sa araw-araw ay ilang salita lang ang naging palitan nila. Pero sa paglipas ng mga araw ay naging mainit ang bawat pagsulyap nito sa kanya. Binuhay nito ang sidhing hindi niya alam na taglay niya at naghihintay lang na mapukaw. Higit sa mga salita ay mas nag-usap ang kanilang mga mata, ang bawat paggalaw... Hanggang sa hindi na nila naiwasan ang tukso. Nagtiwala siya sa dikta ng damdamin. Pero nagkamali siya. Hanggang pisikal lang pala ang relasyong gusto ng lalaki. Siguro nga, mali ang makinig sa dikta ng puso... Baka ang maging kapalit noon ay mismong buhay niya...

Maraming nagawang pagkakamali sa buhay si Katalina, mga pagkakamaling naging dahilan kung bakit kinilala siya ni Gabriel Wharton, ang nag-iisang anak ng mag-asawang nagawan niya ng kasalanan. At ang tanging nais nito ay parusahan siya para sa mga magulang nito. Labis ang galit ni Katalina sa lalaki, halos kapantay din ng galit nito sa kanya. Pero ang galit ay mabilis itawid sa pagmamahal. At doon nga nauwi ang damdamin ng dalaga para sa lalaki. Naging handa siyang gawin ang lahat para bumagay lang sa mundo nitong batid niyang walang lugar para sa isang tulad niya. Pero paano na ang mga madidilim na lihim niyang hindi lingid dito? Kaya ba nitong tanggapin ang lahat ng iyon gayong mayroong babaeng handa na nitong pakasalan?

Jaye had always thought no man was good enough for her. But she had always dreamed of proving herself wrong one day. Matapang siya, mahusay sa trabaho, ilag sa kanya ang mga tao. But behind the tough exterior, she was a woman who wanted to find a kindred, an equal. And yes, quite frankly, she also dreamed of falling head over heels in love with a man worthy of it. Along came Max . It was hate at first sight. He was the new CEO of the company. And it seemed he was out to get her...

"You... me... and the craving in between."

"The warmth of his hand only showed that this wasn't a fairy tale but a dream come true."

Chase was Sab's first and ultimate love, or so she thought. Because three years after he flew to the States to seek for a greener pasture, he decided to end their five-year relationship through a heartbreaking phone call. Sab blamed herself over Chase's decision to break up with her. Kung sana'y natupad lang niya ang pangako niya ritong sasamahan niya ito sa States pagka-graduate niya ng college upang doon na sila magkasamang manirahan, sana'y sila pa rin hanggang ngayon. She had her reasons, yes, but that didn't make her feel less guilty about their breakup. Thus, she spent the next years of her life wishing for a second chance with him. After three years, her long-time prayer was finally answered. Chase was back in the country... and back in her life! And her hopes for a second chance with him soared high when he told her that he wanted them to start anew. It was, indeed, an answered prayer! But her hopes for a second chance on a happily-ever-after was once again crushed into pieces when she learned that the man she loves with all her heart already belongs to somebody else. Will she fight for their second chance at love? Or will she just give up on the only chance she had on happiness?
