I feel him turn his head and Josh's voice is soft as he whispers, "it's okay to not be okay and it's okay to have help. It's okay to be comforted and it's okay to crave comfort. We are imperfect human beings, Katherine. You don't have to be okay all the time." _____ Katherine Wellington is a very successful, very independent, self made business woman with a past that puts a roadblock in front of anything but work. Joshua Elwood is a very outspoken, opinionated realtor who is not afraid to press every single button Katherine has. Together, you would think they would never work. But they will. They will because Katherine can't deny her feelings forever. She's going to have to give in at some point, and by giving in, she could shove Joshua away, or she could keep him all to herself. This is the second book of the Independent series, and you should read the first one "Miss Independent" before you invest time in this one, otherwise you won't understand anything. WARNING: THIS STORY INCLUDES THE VERY ATTRACTIVE JOSHUA ELWOOD WHO REMINDS ME AND EVERYONE WITH OVARIES OF A SOFT GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY THAT IS SLEEPING ON YOUR CHEST SO PLEASE BEWARE THAT YOUR OVARIES WILL EXPLODE WHILE READING THIS STORY! AN: please don't steal this story. I'm working/have worked really hard to create this and develop the characters and story line.

For Ara Angeles, the plan is to live the simple, ordinary life she's been living in Batangas-to study hard and work harder to help her family. And Aivan Vinn Montemayor, the grandson of her boss, was not part of the plan, and falling in love with him...well, plans can change. Hearts don't. *** Ara Angeles and her family have been working at the Rancho De Monteyamor ever since she can remember, living a simple, ordinary life tending to horses and cows and sleeping on hay. She never imagined to be noticed by one of Don Gabriel's grandchildren, but she's certainly not complaining--not when Aivan is giving her the romantic fairytale she's always dreamt of having. The catch? He's already engaged to someone else. Will Ara get her happily ever after, or will Aivan remain an unreachable prince charming? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.

Kathleen Fae Camongol is one of the most powerful brilliant doctor of the country. A lot of women wished to be like her because of her beauty, brain and wealth. Maraming tao ang nag hahangad ng buhay na mayroon siya pero hindi nila alam na siya mismo ay nag hahangad ng ibang buhay. Ang kanyang puso ay sarado sa nakararami, hindi siya nag titiwala agad, para sa kanya ay sarili lamang niya ang makakatulong niya. Isa pa, ang puso niya ay sobrang nanlalamig dahil sa pangungulila sa ina, pag hahanap ng mga sagot at pag hahangad ng pagmamahal. A lot of people made her feel that they are only there for her because they need her and she believed it. Her trust and love is not for anyone, para sa kanya ay hindi niya kailanman 'yon maibibigay kahit kanino man. But one day... someone came and that someone had the courage to make her take that chance she feared the most.
