Jaxian Drex "Jaxie" Malverez is the savage, pink-leather-clad drummer of Auxeria High, an openly gay rockstar whose life is a masterpiece of sharp edges. His world is governed by a meticulous order where only his music and his attraction to men have a place, leaving no room for the "maarte" drama of the female species. Kaelira Vynne "Kae" Castellano, the soft, jolly, and hopelessly naive transferee from Europe, is the walking violation of his peace and the ultimate distraction to his focus. But when her "conyo" charm and constant habit of getting into trouble trigger a fierce, possessive protectiveness in Jax, his carefully constructed identity begins to fracture. The heart he swore only beat for boys now thunders uncontrollably for the girl he deemed too slow, too messy, and too irritating to ever notice. Is Jaxian's rhythm as fixed as his savage reputation, or will he let a girl be the one to finally break his setlist? What happens when the ultimate annoyance becomes the only music loud enough to drown out his own rules? Second Book of Vexera Series. Dual Point of View.

When a high-stakes betrayal leaves his fleet in ruins and his life hanging by a thread, he is discarded and washed up like broken driftwood on the jagged shores of a remote coastal village. Sunnira Meranda "Summer" Dela Cruz is the village's fiercest secret. An orphan who raised her younger brother and herself on the rhythm of the tides, she isn't intimidated by much.

He is a predator forced into the company of someone who doesn't fear his bite. She is the anchor he never knew he needed. In the quiet intensity of the island, where status means nothing and the sea dictates the rules, the billionaire will learn that while he was a master of his own empire, he is completely at the mercy of the girl who saved his life. After a lifetime of commanding others, has the beast finally found his master? Santi x Summer
