When Louisse Salazar, tough, assertive, and cynical, loses in a debate against charming and annoying football quarterback Cascade 'Kade' Ongpauco, she never thought she'd find herself falling head first into his arms. The problem is: she's trying her hardest to stop herself--even if Kade is ready to catch her. *** Louisse has always kept her heart under lock and key--until Kade. Brick by brick, he tears down her walls, determined to love her even when she thinks she's not worth the trouble. Both best friends and lovers, Louisse starts to give herself to the seemingly right relationship, letting her guard down...when complications with their families arise and Louisse shuts down again. When this breaks them apart, will Kade fight for her--for them? Or will he give up, and will Louisse let him? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Louise De Ramos

(For Hire: A Damn Good Kisser Book 2) Meet the new Dana Kathryn Ferrer. A little bit older and wiser, and a lot more confident, Dana-or DK, as she now prefers to be called-is the life of every party. Since he-who-must-not-be-named left her, DK has reinvented herself. Gone is the girl who's always pining for that boy. These days, DK, who manages to catch the attention of any boy she deems worth her time, gets to pick anyone she wants. She's completely over Cyriel Edrian Perez. But when she finds out that Cyriel is coming back, her perfect little world goes haywire. And when Andrei Louie Guzman starts courting her-a romantic Filipino tradition he's never bothered following for any other girl-she still won't give him the time of day. Does DK simply want closure, or could it be that she's not completely over the boy who broke her heart?
