"Di mo ako kailangang magustuhan, Ms. Slade. But if you deliver results, baka mapagtiyagaan ko na nasa pamamahay kita." Bagong graduate pa lang, maswerte ang aspiring author na si Victoria Slade na makakuha ng trabaho bilang tutor sa isang sampung taong gulang na overachiever na batang lalaki. Kaya lang, mukhang mahihirapan siya sa boss niya - ang seryoso at misteryosong bilyonaryo na si Sebastian Chase. Naiinis si Victoria sa mababang opinyon nito sa kaniya at ang estado niya bilang hamak na manggagawa. Pero 'di niya rin maiwasang pag-isipan kung gaano talaga ito kalamig at katigas sa ilalim ng mamahalin nitong mga damit. Hindi handa si Sebastian sa biglaang pagdating ng babaeng iyon sa kaniyang pamamahay - ni sa kaniyang isipan. Inalok niya si Victoria ng paraan para sabay nilang tuklasin ang atraksyon nila para sa isa't isa habang pinananatili ang propesyonalismo. Pero kahit pa kayanin nitong pagbayaran ang karapatang maangkin siya, kakayanin niya ba ang maaaring mawala sa kaniya? (Translation by Edith Joaquin @edithjoaquinmsv )

*Mature Content Warning* I rest both my hands against the table. "I'll go on another date with you, if you tell me one thing about yourself that no one else knows." He's silent for a long moment, pondering my offer. Eventually he quirks his fingers at me. "Lean closer." Bracing myself against the table, I lean over it toward him, noting every detail about his face as I get closer. Every hair, every freckle. His beautiful is unimaginable. His breath warms my skin, dancing over my ear as I dip my head toward him. Will he kiss me, and make good on my sinful thoughts? His voice is like an erotic caress as he murmurs in my ear, "I'm a murderer." *** She cannot escape him. On a blind-date, she unknowingly meets the most dangerous man to exist, and falls into his world of darkness and desire as both his mate, and his worst enemy.

Prom night. The end of an era. The start of a new life. But not for Jaina Diaz. For Jaina, prom means something else. A horrific accident. Her best friend on life support. The world in pieces. And the only thing that matters now is who did it. The smell of gasoline. The burning of rubber. Life begins and ends on the track. Elijah Meyer knows the rules. But he's losing control. For Elijah, there's no manual on how to fix a friend. Maybe the streets of LA hold the answers. Street take-overs. Car clubs. Wild and reckless exhibitions of speed. One miscalculation, lives forever changed. Jaina wants in to get her answer. Elijah could hold the key.
