For Gale Cerrera, home is not a safe place. Constantly hearing your parents curse and fight is not exactly ideal for a child, but these were the cards she had been dealt. Determined to escape, she tries everything, from joining the school paper to getting a part-time job. Nothing works. Until she meets Ethan. Ethan Zamora is an outcast ─ bullied at school, counseled by an incompetent counselor, and haunted by nightmares from his past. He, too, desperately needs an escape. Through poems, books, and Gale's alluring charm, he finds solace and the freedom to be himself. Every night, Gale and Ethan meet in the woods and sit by an angel statue, sharing their secrets and healing each other's wounds. Together, they learn that the only way to truly escape is to confront what they're running from. As they face the harsh realities they've long avoided, will their friendship survive the storm, or will they find something even deeper?

Arwen Alves and Wesley San Roman once believed love was enough. Even when Wesley's dad stood against their relationship and even when the world felt too small for their dreams, they endured. That was eight years ago. Arwen is now a famed singer, worshipped by fans, her glamorous life splashed in every tabloid and magazine. Meanwhile, Wesley works as an engineer in the province. He has a girlfriend who loves him more than he deserves and a family whom he can always count on ─ despite their misgivings. Yet both are unsatisfied, craving more than what their mundane lives have given them. When Arwen receives a wedding invitation from Wesley's younger sister, she's compelled to return to her hometown, where she comes face-to-face with the bridges she had burned and the old love she had tried to bury. She and Wesley are drawn together once again. As new realizations come to light, so do new battles to fight. Will Arwen and Wesley finally reignite the flame that had once been theirs? Or will their love remain unresolved forever?
