He leaned in even closer. I could feel his breath brushing the skin just below my ear as he whispered, "I know what you want." "W-what?" I stammered, my heart pounding as fast as a Thoroughbred racing towards the finish line. Even though I couldn't see his face, I had no doubt that he was smirking. "Someone that wants you." I swallowed as I hastily blinked back tears. "And you know this how?" "Because," I felt his lips barely press againt the hollow of my neck, "Maybe I want you." Tanner Turner is arrogant and is impossibly as cold as ice. He doesn't care about what others think of him and doesn't give a damn about what the future may hold for him. Although his egotistical attitude and rebellious personality is ugly, he's undeniably gorgeous, ruggedly handsome, and maybe has a few secrets that he doesn't want anybody to know... Carter McAdams is sensitive, mysterious, and has more dark, disturbing secrets than one may think. She hides behind her many books and her clothes to cover up her secrets that are permanently etched onto her skin... When these two meet, disaster strikes and neither one is too fond of each other. But, as they gradually get to know each other and reveal what's underneath both of their hard exteriors, they finally move on from the past. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, they can find out what might fix their broken selves- love.

When Charlotte agrees to fake date bad boy Mason to make her best friend and secret crush, Ben, jealous, she thinks it will be a simple arrangement. The rules are clear and she's certain of her goal: make Ben fall in love with her. So why does it seem like the lines always blur when Mason is around? *** Charlotte Anderson has secretly been in love with her best friend, Ben Hathaway, since childhood, though he's never seen her as anything but the girl next door. After witnessing Ben kissing another girl at a party, a heartbroken Charlotte accidentally admits her crush to notorious bad boy Mason Reed... who also happens to be one of Ben's closest friends. But Mason isn't going to tell Charlotte's secret; instead, he suggests they fake a relationship to make Ben jealous. They create a set of strict rules for the arrangement: no kissing when Ben isn't around, no sex, and no falling in love. But as their fake relationship progresses, and Mason's walls break down, Charlotte finds herself questioning her true feelings for both boys, and wondering if some rules are meant to be broken-especially when it comes to love.

Mula sa taong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa nakaraan nang may isang misyon: huwag hayaang umibig sa kanya si Juanito Alfonso, ang anak ng kilalang gobernadorcillo at ang lalaking nakatakda niyang makaisang-dibdib. *** Palaging kinukuwestiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang mga kuwentong nakabaon sa nakaraan ng kanyang pamilya, ngunit hindi niya akalain na mula sa panahong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa taong 1892 sa pamamagitan ng isang lumang talaarawan at ang Arch of the Centuries na kanyang nagsilbing portal. Inatasan siya ng isang misteryosong madre upang gawin ang napakahalagang misyon: kailangan niyang mamuhay bilang si Carmelita Montecarlos, ang bunsong anak ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa San Alfonso at siguruhing mapipigilan si Juanito Alfonso--ang nakatakdang mapangasawa ni Carmelita--na umibig sa kanya.

Ang Noli Me Tángere[1] ay isang nobelang isinulat ni Jose Rizal, at inilathala noong 1887, sa Europa. Hango sa Latin ang pamagat nito na may kahulugang "huwag mo akong salingin (o hawakan)". Sinipi ito mula sa San Juan 20:17 kung saan sinabi ni Hesus kay Maria Magdalena na "Huwag mo akong salingin sapagkat hindi pa ako nakaaakyat sa aking ama.". Mas madalas itong tinatawag na Noli; at ang salin nito sa Ingles ay Social Cancer.
