Isla de Vista Series #4 Sky, ah! What a beautiful sky. Chased by many, loved by many, wanted by many, but chasing someone as cold as the snow and as hard as stone. She rides the fleet to the sky, thinking she could reach the moon but it's too far, too far. "I was busy reaching you that I forgot I am falling in my own despair."

But the moment she meets Elijah Buenavista-the "dummy" her father mocks-she realizes he's hiding secrets her family never saw coming. *** Isla de Vista's peaceful shoreline seemed to free Amber Paige Valencia from her father's demands. Yet peace never lasts. After being summoned back to the city, she is forced into an arranged marriage with a Buenavista, Elijah Luis, whom everyone calls a dumb heir. Amber anticipates a dummy. Instead, she meets a handsome, commanding man who's far too self-assured to be the dumb man her father mocks. And once the vows are spoken, the truth begins to unravel. Elijah Luis Buenavista is no simple rich boy. He is the youngest general in history, a strategist who battled in secret and planned their marriage for reasons only he knows. Will Amber embrace his deadly secrets or will loving him put her in greater danger than she thought? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Louise De Ramos
