Trace Lavigne was SEAL. His code name: Condor. A bird of prey. A hunter. Dangerous and majestic. Uncapable of love... of tenderness. He was angry and bitter. Tulad ng dalawang kasamahan niya--ex-SEAL Ivan and Brad--nakikipaghamok siya na tila ba wala nang bukas. Until an exotic stranger proposed to him. Walang dalawang tao na noon lang nagkita ay magpapakasal sa isa't isa. But the lady was desperate to marry anyone available. And he would rather be the one. Ano ang mawawala sa kanya kung sasang-ayunan niya ang alok ng estrangherang pakasalan niya ito? In one moment of madness,he gave his name to a dark beauty but a stranger. Only that stranger happened to be Jessica Fortalejo--the youngest heiress of the Fortalejo Empire. _____ **all credits goes to Martha Cecilia**

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang katuparan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience--sa anumang paraan. ____ **from the works of Martha Cecilia**

"Now what shall it be? Go home or have a drink with me?" tanong ni Benedict, watching her over the rim of his goblet. Julianne saw the challenge in his eyes. Itinaas niya ang mukha, accepting the challenge, tulad ng pagtanggap ng maliit na insekto sa paanyaya ng gagamba na gumapang sa sapot nito. And this man wasn't an ordinary spider. He was a wolf spider. A predator. But come to think of it, she didn't have anything against wolf spiders. "Okay... I'll have one or two shots," she said boldly, wise or foolish, so let it be. Benedict grinned devastatingly. And she stopped breathing.

"My brother excels in everything, Chantal. He's a martial arts expert, a champion swimmer, he races cars like a madman... and he didn't just inherit my grandfather's looks but also Franco's business acumen and ambition. And women run after him as if he was the only man on earth..." Chantal indulged Quinn when she listened to his story about his superhero brother. Subalit hindi siya naniniwala rito. Ang James Navarro na ikinukuwento ni Quinn sa kanya'y produkto lamang ng imahinasyon nito... dahil naniniwala siyang ang ikinukuwento nito'y ang pagkatao na gusto nitong maging. But never in her wildest dreams that she would soon meet the man himself. Subalit may nakaligtaang ikuwento si Quinn sa kanya-James Navarro was also arrogant, rough, a bully, and the devil personified.

Muntik nang mabundol ni Aidan ng sasakyan ang isang babaeng basta na lang tumawid sa kalsada. Dinala niya ito sa ospital and found out that she couldn't remember anything about herself, maliban sa sariling pangalan-Samantha. She was a looker even without makeup, and gorgeous kahit roba ng ospital ang suot. And Aidan had this unwanted feeling of protecting her and he hated himself for that. Dahil kung ang karanasan niya sa mga babae ang pag-uusapan, he was a lousy judge of character. He easily fell for a vulnerable act. At si Samantha'y gayon. Fragile, vulnerable... and very much terrified. Terrified? Why? He intended to know.

Kurt La Pierre-ex-CIA. Ruthless, crude and vulgar. He was literally and figuratively dangerous. Lahat ng bagay na kinasusuklaman ng isang babae ay taglay nito. Except that this mysterious man had hypnotic eyes and lethally attractive. Para kay Kurt, basahan lang ang mga babae, dekorasyon sa kama at taga-satisfy ng biological needs nito. At hindi naiiba ang socialite na si Jade Ann Fortalejo de Silva. What made him hate women? Kapeng barako at krema. Iyon ang comparison kay Jade at sa bodyguard niya. Jade was totally out of Kurt's league. Ang kagaspangan nito ay nagpapanindig ng kanyang mga balahibo, lalo na ang mga sexual exploit ng lalaki. But she loved him... she loved him. Kaya ba niyang tunawin ang yelong nakapalibot sa puso ni Kurt?

Bernard. Ibinigay niya ang pangalan at pag-ibig sa iisang babae. And blamed himself that she died. Nawalan ng direksiyon ang buhay niya and he thought that Diana could bring back his sanity. Diana. Pinakasalan niya si Bernard dahil mahal niya ito, dahil akala niya ay kaya niyang tanggapin na kalahati ng puso nito ay hindi kanya. And she was so wrong. Lance. He fell in love with a woman whose exotic beauty could make the gods swoon. She had coal-black eyes which he thought held so many passionate mysteries. The Black Diamond. Para sa kanya, iisa lang ang kahulugan ng buhay-si Bernard. She died and lived again for only one man. Feel the pain, the heartaches, the anguish and the magical love that defied time and death.
