Cupid Gonzales-tall, handsome, wealthy, and the kind of man who never sticks to one woman. He once believed in love... but after being left by the woman he thought was the one, he shut his heart off and chose to play the game instead. Until she came along... Cristine Angeles is bold, outspoken, and unafraid to chase what she wants-and what she wants is Cupid. Even if he doesn't return her feelings, she's willing to do whatever it takes to catch his attention. Even agree to be his bedmate. For Cupid, it's simple: no strings, no feelings-just pleasure. He swore he'd never fall again. To him, she's just his bedmate. Nothing more. Nothing less. But if that's true... Why hasn't he touched her? Why does it feel like she's not really just his bedmate at all?

Now that she wears his last name, Cyan's next mission is clear-make him stay. It's now an Operation: Bewitching Blue. But what happens when the man she fought so hard to win discovers the truth she's kept hidden? Will he still choose her? Or will the love he's slowly grown to feel be lost... and leave Cyan with nothing even his name?

Thunder Dela Cruz doesn't do love-not anymore. After the ultimate betrayal by the woman he loved and the person he trusted most, he shut his heart off for good. Now, he only offers one kind of relationship: casual, physical, and completely emotionless. No strings. No expectations. No complications. The moment feelings get involved, he cuts ties and walks away. So when Rain comes along, he gives her the same deal. One bed. No attachment. Nothing more. Einah, or Rain, knows saying yes is reckless... but this is Thunder Dela Cruz. A walking sin, dangerous and irresistible. She agrees, convinced she can handle it. That she can keep things light. That she can play by his rules. But how can she keep it physical, when he's the very man who's already held her heart-long before this deal even started? They promised no emotions. No falling. Just pleasure and secrets between the sheets. But what happens when pretending starts to feel real? And when everything falls apart... will he leave her too? Just like he always does? Will he walk away-for good?
