A virgin widow. At gusto niyang takasan ang bayaw na naghahangad sa kanya. Mula Houston, Texas, Kristine was swept into a savage paradise sa isla ng mga Navarro sa Quezon Province. Si Alvaro, ang panganay na anak ni Franco Navarro, was a handsome devil na walang balak magpatali sa kasal. Kristine suited him. A sexy widow. Pero ang malamang virgin pa ito ay isang bonus.

Si Jasmin ang napili ni Don Leon na ipakasal kay Nathaniel. Wala siyang mapagpipilian kundi ang sumunod. Si Nathaniel ay nagpupuyos sa galit dahil sa manipulasyon ni Don Leon, at sa pagkakaalam nitong hindi na birhen ang babaeng pakakasalan. Mahigpit na tradisyon ng pamilya na malinis at marangal na babae lamang ang ipapanhik sa Villa Kristine. Sa nangyayari'y naiipit si Jasmin sa magkabanggang mag-lolo. Kay Don Leon na ang nais ay diktahan ang mga nasasakupan at kay Nathaniel na ang nais ay makawala sa manipulasyon ng matanda.

"Now what shall it be? Go home or have a drink with me?" tanong ni Benedict, watching her over the rim of his goblet. Julianne saw the challenge in his eyes. Itinaas niya ang mukha, accepting the challenge, tulad ng pagtanggap ng maliit na insekto sa paanyaya ng gagamba na gumapang sa sapot nito. And this man wasn't an ordinary spider. He was a wolf spider. A predator. But come to think of it, she didn't have anything against wolf spiders. "Okay... I'll have one or two shots," she said boldly, wise or foolish, so let it be. Benedict grinned devastatingly. And she stopped breathing.

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang katuparan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience--sa anumang paraan. ____ **from the works of Martha Cecilia**

Anim na taon na ang nakalipas, si Ivan at ang dalawang kasama niya-all of them international agents of high caliber-ay iniligtas si Nayumi Navarro mula sa tangkang pag-kidnap dito. Hindi nakilala ni Nayumi ang tatlong taong nagligtas sa kanya. Pero nanatili sa isip at puso niya ang pinuno ng mga ito, kahit na hindi man lang niya nasilayan ang mukha nito. She was not fatalistic. Pero isang araw ay nagtagpo sila. Muli siyang iniligtas ni Ivan sa muntik nang pagkapahamak. Now her fantasy... her knight in shining armour had a face-a handsome, hardened man, with no interest in loving a woman. And if there was one thing he wanted from her-it was sex with a capital S. "Don't fall in love with me, Nayumi. Trust me, I always say good-bye.

"My brother excels in everything, Chantal. He's a martial arts expert, a champion swimmer, he races cars like a madman... and he didn't just inherit my grandfather's looks but also Franco's business acumen and ambition. And women run after him as if he was the only man on earth..." Chantal indulged Quinn when she listened to his story about his superhero brother. Subalit hindi siya naniniwala rito. Ang James Navarro na ikinukuwento ni Quinn sa kanya'y produkto lamang ng imahinasyon nito... dahil naniniwala siyang ang ikinukuwento nito'y ang pagkatao na gusto nitong maging. But never in her wildest dreams that she would soon meet the man himself. Subalit may nakaligtaang ikuwento si Quinn sa kanya-James Navarro was also arrogant, rough, a bully, and the devil personified.

Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

When Lance Navarro whispered "I do..." Erika Rose saw hatred and contempt in his eyes. Pero hindi doon natapos ang galit ng bunsong lalaki ni Franco Navarro. Minutes after the forced wedding, dinala siya nito sa kaibigang tattoo artist and to her horror, Lance branded her for life. At bago siya nawalan ng malay, she saw cruelty imprinted in his eyes. Iyon ang huling pagkakita niya kay Lance for he left her on the same day he married her. At sa loob ng tatlong taon, tinaglay ni Erika Rose sa tapat ng puso ang tatak ng kalupitang iyon.

Jenny Navarro. Socialite princess. Habang ang ibang anak ng mayayaman ay nasa ballet and piano lessons sa murang gulang, siya'y nasa ibabaw ng stallion. At nang magdalaga, habang ang mga kasinggulang niya'y nasa disco at social functions, siya'y dalubhasa sa martial arts at pagpapalipad ng helicopter and a markswoman. Zandro Fortalejo. Sa kanyang palagay ay si Jenny ang kabuuan ng babaeng hindi niya type. Wild, rich, and spoiled. Pero bakit niya tinanggap ang suhestiyon ni Franco that he tamed the wild heart?
