Si Yazid Leroy Egamino ay isang piyanista na buong puso kung tumugtog para sa kanyang banda na itinuturing na niyang pamilya. Namumuhay siya nang masaya at may tiwala sa lahat, naniniwala na ang pag-ibig at pagkakaibigan ay dapat laging tapat. Kontento na sana si Yael sa buhay niya, hanggang sa makilala niya si Sergius Elron Paradillo. Isang misteryosong lalaki mula sa bundok na may matatalas na tingin at pusong mailap, unti-unting niyanig ni Sergo ang mundo ni Yael. Sa kabila ng pader na nakapaligid sa lalaki, hindi napigilan ni Yael ang kanyang sarili na mahulog sa mapanlinlang nitong alindog. Ngunit sa likod ng bawat ngiti at sulyap, isang masakit na katotohanan ang nagtatago sa ilalim: pandaraya, manipulasyon, at pagtataksil. Ang pag-ibig na akala ni Yael ay totoo, unti-unting naglaho at naiwang hungkag. Ang dating magandang harmoniya ng kanilang pagsasama ay naging isang mapait na himig ng kabiguan. Napilitan si Yael na harapin ang katas na ang lahat ng naramdaman niya ay isa lang palang maling akala. Sa gitna ng sakit, kailangang mahanap ni Yael ang lakas para bumitaw. Sa pag-iisa niya, susubukan niyang mahanap muli ang sarili, nasasaktan man, pero dahan-dahang naghihilom.

Buong buhay ni Ellis Xydrien Gomez, itinago niya ang tunay niyang nararamdaman. Dahil sa sakit ng nakaraan, natuto siyang mag-ingat sa mundong alam niyang hindi tatanggap sa isang katulad niya. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Faustino Alonzo Abuel. Si Austin ang sikat na lead singer ng bandang Echoes. Sanay siyang hinahangaan ng lahat at nakukuha ang anumang gusto niya. Pero sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan, kakaibang hila ang naramdaman niya kay Ellis, isang koneksyong hindi niya pa naranasan noon. Habang lumalalim ang nararamdaman nila para sa isa't isa, kailangan nilang harapin ang mga sugat ng kahapon at ang husga ng ibang tao. Can they overcome their fears and find harmony, or will their love fall apart like a broken melody?

Wade Carson, the Basketball Team Captain and Asher Everrette, the older brother of Wade's friend.

To him who shines the most, I offer my heart.

When Attorney Raiven Valiz finds himself in trouble with one of his cases, his life is threatened and a bounty is put on his head. To protect him, the government sends the dazzling and charming Scout Ranger Keiran Sanford. He's exceptionally good at his work and he's a good cook...except that he's the same guy Raiven kissed at a bar two years ago. ****** Attorney Raiven Valiz is cold and indifferent, the kind of lawyer who would defend anyone, good or bad, with money - to him, money was the center of his world, and everything else was a waste of his time. But when a certain Scout Ranger is sent by the government to protect him, Raiven thinks Keiran's piercing blue eyes and sexy smile are far more deadly and dangerous than the criminals after his life, especially when he makes Raiven feel different emotions he's never felt before. To come to terms with Raiven's confused feelings for him, Keiran proposes an agreement Raiven can't reject...an amorous agreement. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.
