(Seducing Drake Palma Book 2) "Hindi na ako magpapadala sa 'yo, Drake. You're just going to make me fall then smash me into pieces once again." It's been four years since Alys graduated from St. Claire's High. And by now, naka-move-on na siya mula sa first serious relationship niya no'ng high school. She now has a man who treats her like a princess, the man who has helped her pick up the pieces of her broken heart-si Tripp. Her feelings are secure and her life is full once again. Or so she thought. Ano ang gagawin niya ngayong siya naman ang hinahabol ng isang Drake Palma at hinihingan ng isa pang pagkakataon? Pilit iiwasan at tatakbuhan ni Alys si Drake. Pero masusubok ang kanyang tatag kung hanggang kailan niya mapaninindigan ang desisyon niyang to forget and let go of that once in a lifetime epic love.

"Drake Palma, humanda ka! I'm going to get you by hook or by crook!" Ito si Alys Perez, may pagka-loner, maingay, madalas bagsak ang grades sa klase, bigo sa pag-ibig, at may malaki siyang problema. Kasi naman, pumayag siyang gawin ang isang bagay na wala talaga siyang kahit anong experience. Ano ba naman ang alam niya sa pangse-seduce? At lalo na sa matalino, hot na hot, at super sungit na classmate pa niyang si Drake Palma?! Ah basta! Gagamitin niya ang lahat ng powers niya para maging "mission accomplished" sa challenge na ito. Hindi siya makapapayag na maging isa sa napakaraming babae sa school na naging brokenhearted dahil sa playboy na si Drake.

A love that almost was. A timing that never aligned. A connection too real to forget. Saylor Miller has always kept her heart at a safe distance-measured, guarded, never reckless. Until she meets Josiah Lee, a quiet photographer with eyes that see too much and a past he's never really escaped. They were never supposed to mean anything to each other. But what starts as a brief encounter turns into something deeper-conversations at midnight, glances that last too long, and a kind of intimacy that doesn't need labels. He's not ready. She's not sure. But love doesn't ask if the timing is right. This isn't a story about forever. This is a story about the one who almost stayed. And the kind of love that lingers-even after it's gone. ⚠️ Mature themes. Slow-burn. Emotionally intense. For readers who believe that even the wrong people can leave the right kind of scars
