"I need you back in my life, Bobbie, with our son. And I always get what I want." Halos ikamatay ni Bobbie nang itanggi ni Romano na anak nito ang kanyang dinadala and accused her of having an affair with another man. Binigyan siya ng pag-asa ni Kendal Quidd, isang negosyante, at isinama sa La Crouix, isang isla sa Caribbean. When she thought she was almost over him, muli silang nagkaharap ni Romano, threatening to take her son away.

Kurt La Pierre-ex-CIA. Ruthless, crude and vulgar. He was literally and figuratively dangerous. Lahat ng bagay na kinasusuklaman ng isang babae ay taglay nito. Except that this mysterious man had hypnotic eyes and lethally attractive. Para kay Kurt, basahan lang ang mga babae, dekorasyon sa kama at taga-satisfy ng biological needs nito. At hindi naiiba ang socialite na si Jade Ann Fortalejo de Silva. What made him hate women? Kapeng barako at krema. Iyon ang comparison kay Jade at sa bodyguard niya. Jade was totally out of Kurt's league. Ang kagaspangan nito ay nagpapanindig ng kanyang mga balahibo, lalo na ang mga sexual exploit ng lalaki. But she loved him... she loved him. Kaya ba niyang tunawin ang yelong nakapalibot sa puso ni Kurt?

"...I have a better idea, sweetheart." Nanunudyo ang mga mata ni Romano nang sabihin iyon sa masungit na estranghera. "Ditch your lover and take up with me instead." Sa ikalawang araw matapos gawing pormal ni Derick ang engagement nila, natuklasan ni Bobbie ang kataksilan ng fiancé. At sa mismong araw din na iyon, she met the most irritating but exceedingly handsome man. Pero wala siyang intensiyong makipagkilala rito. Hindi niya type ang mga lalaking nagtataglay ng maraming R. Romano. Rugged. Rough. Rude. Rich. In that order. Oh well, may isang R na gusto si Bobbie. Romantic. At hindi si Romano iyon who was so brutal in telling her na iisa lang ang gusto sa kanya­-bed partner.

Elleana Syquia lives the life every girl envies and dreams about. Dugong-bughaw na lang ang kulang, papasa na siyang maharlika. She was born and raised in London. Pag-aari ng mga magulang niya ang pinakamalaking plantasyon ng mais at tubo sa Ilocos Region na minsan lang niyang nakita noong mag-aanim na taong gulang siya. Pero biglang mababago ang lahat dahil sa iniwang sulat ng kanyang yumaong ina. Hiniling nito na sa pagtuntong ni Elleana ng veinticinco, pupunta siya sa Ilocos upang pangasiwaan ang hacienda. Doon ay nakilala niya si Felipe, ang lalaking "antipatiko" ang middle name at mas marami pa yatang irritating cells na dumadaloy sa katawan kaysa sa red blood cells! Ngunit taglay nito ang pinakamagandang mga mata na nakita niya at malilinis na kuko sa mga paa sa kabila ng pagiging isang magsasaka. At ayon pa sa lalaki, ito ang pinakaguwapo at pinakamakisig sa mga lalaking nakilala na niya. Kaya bang makipagsabayan ng kanyang British accent sa lalaking ang vocabulary ay naglalaro lang sa tinuran, sakbibi, nababatid, and the likes?

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.

Madaling-araw na pero nasa deck pa rin ng pag-aaring yate si Renz Navarro, tired and bored to death. He had just made love to his current girlfriend and found no satisfaction. Nang mula sa kung saan, nakita niyang sumampa sa railings ng yate ang isang... babae! His yacht was more than a thousand yards away from Manila Bay. Ang magkaroon ng hindi inaasahang bisita mula sa madilim na karagatan sa ganoong oras ay bahagi lang ng pagkamangha niya. What took his breath away was the fact that the woman who climbed up to his deck was wearing nothing but seawater dripping down her body!

"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.
