Perez Iverson Claveria belongs to a well-known Claveria family, tied to the very name of their province. Growing up, he's got everything he wants, he needs... but growing up too, he realizes not everything he gets. Kasi gusto niya ng girlfriend pero tila ba ilag sa kanya ang mga babae sa lugar nila. Every meet up is a fail. Either siya yung hindi gusto o siya yung walang gusto. Pihikan. Pero pangit naman. He lacks something in the physical department according to some people. Walang dating. Boring. He's too normal and basic compared to his cousins. But then meeting Lianna Lou Arenas changed that whole game for him. Alam niyang wala siyang pag-asa. Pero ano ngayon? There's no way in hell he's backing out without a fight! E siya yung kausap e! Siya yung chinat! He can feel his legs shaking, his tongue numbing, because even with his family's background, even if he's a Claveria... walang kapantay iyon pagdating sa babaeng unang beses niyang ayaw sukuan. He has girls that he likes... but Lianna... she's someone he's not willing to let go. No fucking way. Even if it turns out to be all lies. Kasi hindi pala si Lianna yung kachat niya. It's a different girl. And the teas of Claveria begins.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

**Only the bonus chapter is paid, the rest of the story is (and will stay) free!!** Libby Marks-Whelan is decidedly not a lady. Kicked out of nearly every finishing school in the country, she's shocked when her demure, straight-laced cousin Ella invites her to the royal court as attendant during her debutante season. What Ella fails to realize, however, is that Libby's brand of mischief is exactly the kind of distraction Prince Andrew is looking for during his inaugural season as an eligible bachelor.
