Hard. Harsh. Savage. That was how Saint Ada lived her life. Life wasn't kind, and neither was she. Not because she didn't care, but because she had learned the hard way that softness wouldn't survive. She just didn't have a choice. And for the record, she was no longer a virgin because life had fucked her hard since she was young. The only thing that pulled her from the depths of hopelessness and worthlessness was the fact that she had to survive. To start fresh. To fuck life over just as hard. Savagely. But did she ever mention that life wasn't kind? She's not exaggerating; in fact, life was never on her side. None of her plans ever went the way she wanted-so as meeting Thaddaeus Defuntorum.

Despite her wild and untamed personality, something about her pulled him in, leaving him lost in confusion and questioning his own feelings.

Warm light. Vast greenery. Cozy blue sky. It is how Rial Blanco visualize the ephemeral summer every year-that even it only last for a short period of time, she can feel heat with her frozen heart. Those heavy and dark wounds of her life, the trauma brought by her past, which resulted her to become mute. The scene where the shot of gun, the growling sound of thunder, while the rain is pouring out so hard, and her loud voice calling for help but, too low 'cause it was trapped onto the storm. Those were all be gone as soon as the sun reigns again. The monster within her would calm, hide, and vanished for awhile. She can be free, that is why it is her favorite season of all time.

He's clouded with black. Thus, what if both of them would meet and know their dark present? Would they help each other bring sunshine onto their lives or would they only worsen those ghosts they are hiding within them? With the couple of days left before summer ends, would they even knew well who they really are? (Seasonal Love Duology #1)

Sa kalagitnaan ng pamamayagpag ng dakilang Shiloh ay muling mabubuhay ang isang matandang propesiya. Maririnig ang huling babala ng kalangitan - ngunit wala ni isa ang tumugon. Kaya't ang pagbagsak at paghihirap na hatol ng tadhana ay tuluyan ngang magaganap. Si Abrielle Aragon, o mas kilala bilang Hime, ay anak ng isang dakilang heneral. Walang alam sa karahasan o digmaan; pinalaki sa layaw, kayamanan, at sa pilosopiya ng sariling mundo. Bata pa lamang, itinakda na siyang sumunod sa trono ng Shiloh - ang magiging reyna ng isang bansang tinitingala ng marami. Ngunit sa isang iglap, guguho ang lahat. Ang pagpasok ng mga mananakop na magpapaikot sa politika at kalakalan ng Shiloh - ang tuluyang magpapabagsak sa trono.

Sa gitna ng pagtataksil at pagdurugo - ang pangalan ng Shiloh ay mauukit muli, hindi sa ginto, kundi sa abo. Maririnig ang iyak ng mga babaeng inabuso, ang sigaw ng mga sanggol na nawalay sa pamilya. Ang panaghoy at hinagpis ay babalot sa Shiloh; ang luha ng mga miserable ay babaha. Higit bang nakakatakot ang mga dayuhan, o ang galit at determinasyon ng mga taong nawalan ng lahat?

[The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] They say that it is a sin to turn platonic love into romantic one, but can a person command their feelings when they are nothing but slaves to it? Primo Roshan is a boy who is loved, valued, and spoiled by his parents. He has almost everything - wealth, parental love, and a best friend named Asher Martin. Everything in his life is like a heaven's kiss, not until his mom left them alone. His father could not bear the idea, so he immersed himself in work and created a barrier between himself and his son, thinking that without his wife, it is no longer a family. Therefore, Primo had nothing but his wealth and Asher. The latter became his anchor in times of distress, his safe space, and his constant source of support and hope in his otherwise turbulent world, where there was a quest for unconditional love, survival from the pain his world could offer, and hope for peace amidst the chaos. However, his platonic love for Asher gradually turned into romantic one as time nurtured his feelings, causing him to lose the only person he had - his close friend, a brother-like figure, and a potential lifetime companion. How will these series of events work to put the puzzle pieces back together into their old places, or will there be a new artistic creation from the same old pieces?
