Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

Belladona is like the rainbow after the storm-loud, vibrant, colorful, impossible to ignore. With her over-the-top outfits and playful humor, she's a walking contradiction: an American Barbie with the heart of a true Filipina. And for Storm Monasterio? She's the calm in chaos, the anchor to whirlwind. If a day passes without seeing her, his world turns into a havoc-harsh winds, heavy rains, and no trace of peace. But what happens when Storm realizes that his Belladona is just a beautifully crafted illusion? Because behind the wild colors and quirky charm is Belladona Mallory Davis-a woman who speaks perfect English, carries herself with demure elegance, and has already promised herself to another man. A woman who made a deal with her father to marry Cameron, the son of his wealthy friend, all to hold together a fragile family that was never truly whole. Mallory is willing to sacrifice everything-her happiness, her one great love, even herself-to keep her mother's heart from breaking. But at what cost? And if Storm was willing to weather every hurricane for her... why is he the one she's willing to leave behind? Because in a love like this, who does Belladona really belong to-Mallory, her family, or Pag-ibig she's too afraid to fight for?

Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly.

As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.
