When Helena finds a phone on the night train, she decides to text the first number in the list of contacts in order to figure out who it belongs to. ***** Helena Santos hasn't had the easiest life. At twenty-one, she's the legal guardian of her teenage sister, in the final year of her nursing degree, and working night shifts at her small-town's local bar. And things get a lot more complicated when she finds a phone on the train home and decides to text the first number in the list of contacts, in hopes of tracking down its owner. That contact? Adam Bauer; the charismatic, sweet, and refreshingly honest older brother of the person who lost their phone. As the two continue talking, they can't ignore the chemistry and growing feelings between them, but life is never that simple. To make things work, Helena and Adam need to juggle a troubled sister, a meddlesome ex-boyfriend, and one fat lawsuit - all intent on keeping them apart.

Cover Credit: CINDY URETA WARNING: SPG | R-18 | Mature Content FIERCE SEDUCTION Synopsis: For CHARLEN ELEC, to achieve her dream and that is to become a PR Manager means doing everything she can with her head held high. She's not the person who gives up that easily. Kaya naman ng bigyan siya ng bagong assignment ng boss niya, pinangako niya sa sarili na gagawin niya ang lahat lalo na't nakasalalay dito ang posisyong matagal na niyang gustong makuha sa kompaniyang anim na taon na niyang pinagta-trabahuan. Charlene is sure that inviting Nicholas Makkhon to their Company's three special events would be a piece of cake. How hard could it be to invite a Business Tycoon to a gathering, right? To NICHOLAS MAKKHON, the world is full of liars and pretentious people. Even the closest family he had stab him on the back before putting more salt to his wound. Every time he forced himself to get out and connect with people, he ends up backing out and hiding from the crazy world he lives in. And now, a beautiful, charismatic woman came knocking into his door. Inviting him to events that he dislikes attending. Kaagad na 'ayoko' ang sagot niya. But the woman doesn't take 'no' for an answer. She's persistent. She didn't stop until he was nodding his head and saying yes to her invitation. And that irks him. Whatever the reason of his fucked up brain and mouth to say is not going to end well for him. There is a reason why he doesn't attend events. And saying yes to her and attending that event ... It would be one hell of a fight against the demons in his life.
