Isang pangako ng kamusmusan ang pilit niyang kinakalimutan. Gaya ng gasgas ng linyang "promises are meant to be broken", alam niyang ang pangakong binitiwan ng isang binatilyo ay walang kasiguruhan. Alam niyang hindi niya dapat panghawakan ang pangakong iyon. Ngunit bakit iba ang sinasabi ng kanyang puso? Magagawa bang pagtibayin ng munting butil ng pag-asam ang patuloy na pagyakap sa pangakong binitiwan, o sa paglipas ng panahon ay tuluyang kalilimutan ang isang pangakong walang kasiguruhan? Para sa ala-ala ng nag-iisang Martha Cecilia. Ito ay bunga ng aking pangungulila sa obra niyang Kristine Series na siyang nagbigay buhay sa lahat ng emosyong mayroon ako ngayon.

"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.

Dana Isabella-Diana and Joshua's daughter- was curiously reading her dead grandmother's diary nang sa pag-angat niya ng ulo'y kakaiba na ang kanyang kapaligiran. She was in the same house... the same room and the same bed... tamang oras, araw, at buwan. Subalit hindi tamang taon. She was in her grandmother's house in Binondo in the year 1928! Back in time, she met the young Leon Fortalejo, bilang si Isabelita. And she fell in love with the handsome Spaniard. Pag-ibig na hindi nagkaroon ng katuparan kahit noong panahon ng kanyang Lola Isabelita. At nasa 1928 siya upang maisakatuparan iyon. Could she change history?

Muntik nang mabundol ni Aidan ng sasakyan ang isang babaeng basta na lang tumawid sa kalsada. Dinala niya ito sa ospital and found out that she couldn't remember anything about herself, maliban sa sariling pangalan-Samantha. She was a looker even without makeup, and gorgeous kahit roba ng ospital ang suot. And Aidan had this unwanted feeling of protecting her and he hated himself for that. Dahil kung ang karanasan niya sa mga babae ang pag-uusapan, he was a lousy judge of character. He easily fell for a vulnerable act. At si Samantha'y gayon. Fragile, vulnerable... and very much terrified. Terrified? Why? He intended to know.

"There's a falling star!" bulalas ni Mirabelle, saka mabilis na tumayo at mula sa likuran ni Karl ay isinuksok ang dalawang kamay sa bulsa ng shorts nito. "Ano'ng ginagawa mo?" Karl was stunned. "Making a wish," she answered softly, her cheeks against his back, her eyes closed. Hindi magawa ni Karl na magsalita. Nasasamyo niya ang hininga ng estranghera, like a soft wind brushing his ear. Her breasts on his back radiated warmth. Ang mga kamay nito sa loob ng mga bulsa ng shorts niya ay ilang pulgada na lang mula sa hindi nararapat. And they were in the middle of the ocean, on a starry night, stranded on her fishing boat!

"My brother excels in everything, Chantal. He's a martial arts expert, a champion swimmer, he races cars like a madman... and he didn't just inherit my grandfather's looks but also Franco's business acumen and ambition. And women run after him as if he was the only man on earth..." Chantal indulged Quinn when she listened to his story about his superhero brother. Subalit hindi siya naniniwala rito. Ang James Navarro na ikinukuwento ni Quinn sa kanya'y produkto lamang ng imahinasyon nito... dahil naniniwala siyang ang ikinukuwento nito'y ang pagkatao na gusto nitong maging. But never in her wildest dreams that she would soon meet the man himself. Subalit may nakaligtaang ikuwento si Quinn sa kanya-James Navarro was also arrogant, rough, a bully, and the devil personified.

Kristine Series 20 - My Wild Heiress By Martha Cecilia "And did you think I want to marry someone like you?" ani Jace. "Heaven's sake, Andrea Monica, a playgirl is not my idea of a wife. Much less, I have no tolerance for spoiled brats!" Ipinagkasundo si Andrea Monica ng ama na ipakakasal kay Leandro, anak ng kaibigan ng pamilya, isang lalaking ni hindi pa man lang niya nakikilala. At upang ipakita ang rebelyon sa ama na hindi siya pakakasal sa lalaking gusto nito para sa kanya ay inalok niya ang hunk and gorgeous at substitute pilot ng Learjet na si Jace del Mare, na pakasalan siya at babayaran niya ito sa anumang halagang gugustuhin nito. Hantaran niyang nilait ang pagkatao ni Leandro sa harap ni Jace. Na si Leandro ay isang oportunista at ang mamanahin lamang niya ang hangad nito. Para lang malaman na ang lalaking hindi niya gustong pakasalan at ang lalaking inalok niyang bayaran upang pakasalan siya'y iisang tao.

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!
