(After High Series # 3) Lily Delphine Borromeo came to UPLB to build a life that was entirely hers-until Sandro Cantavieja decided to follow her there. She never questioned why her childhood friend chose the same university instead of staying in Seattle. She never asked why he looked at her like that. She was too busy pretending they were just friends. But some truths refuse to stay buried, and some feelings become impossible to ignore. Lily has spent her whole life avoiding complications, taking the safe path, running from anything that might disrupt the carefully constructed world she's built. Sandro has spent years being patient, waiting for her to stop running. When their fragile balance finally shatters, Lily learns that hiding from problems doesn't make them disappear-it makes them explode. And sometimes the thing you're most afraid of losing is the only thing worth fighting for.

Love was nowhere to be found. For her, she'll never find love quite as good as the first time. A kind of love that wasn't questionable to the palate even if it wasn't hers to begin with-nothing would ever compare. For him, love can only happen once. A heart that stopped beating is as good as dead. If he couldn't make it right the first time, there's no sense trying for a second. Because no one and nothing would ever come close to how good he once had it. And yet, a universal truth pulls them together, a magnetic force so strong they couldn't fight it no matter how hard they try. Because somewhere between here and now, love has favored their side. Perhaps they were looking at the wrong places when love was always near. Nearly Theirs - a novel Ongoing (2025). Book Cover art by: kathanikath (on X/Twitter)
