Fierce, brilliant, and used to winning every battle that comes her way. But some things can't be argued in court. Matapos ang prognosis ng kaniyang OB-GYN at bulung-bulungan na sinumpa raw ang mga babae sa angkan nila, Hazel is forced to confront the one thing she cannot control: time. Determined to become a mother on her own terms, she chooses the scientific route. No emotions. No complications. There's only one problem: no donor seems good enough for the notoriously picky lawyer. Dr. Andro Lois Guinoo, 30. A renowned obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Successful, stable, and perfectly content with his life, so much so that out of boredom, he once had his sperm frozen. He was out of the 'pressure cooker' kumbaga, lalo na't nabigyan na ng kapatid niya ng mga apo ang mga magulang nila. Hazel wants to have a baby scientifically. Andro insists some things are meant to be done traditionally. Once upon a time, they were childhood friends who crossed the line of being "just" friends. Now, years later, fate brings them back to the same place, compelling Hazel and Andro to face not only the choices they've made, but also the promise they once whispered in the innocence of youth.

So devoted that, exaggerated as it might sound, she would have crossed the seven seas for him. But when she discovers his betrayal, the life she built around him shatters, leaving her questioning everything she thought was meant to be. So when an opportunity for her to move on was served to her in the most bizarre way, labag man sa loob ay ginamit iyon ni Psalm: a once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses-paid trip to the country of love-Italy. She thinks the trip will simply be a dramatic escape filled with ugly crying, sad songs, gallons of gelato, and maybe shouting her frustrations at the Colosseum. But Cupid has other plans. Instead, she's welcomed by a charming, mustached tour guide in a green-red-and-white uniform named Prince. And suddenly, Italy might not just be where she mends her broken heart... It might be where she loses it all over again. ❤️
