Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

Nagkamalay si Genevie sa isang ospital, without any memory. Pagkatapos ng reconstructive surgery, natambad sa kanya ang pinakamagandang mukhang papangarapin ng sino man. She was Jillian Nuevo, stepdaughter of a multimillionaire, who was missing. She had an ex-husband, the gorgeous Tennessee Hernandez, an ex-SEAL, at may dalawang anak sila. She had a perfect family if only she could remember any of them and if she survived the attempts to kill her. At kaya ba siyang protektahan ni Tennessee gayong ayon dito ay isa siyang masamang asawa at walang-kuwentang ina? ©Martha Cecilia

She was running for her life. Sa nakalipas na anim na taon ay inakala niyang ligtas na siya. Subalit sa kaunting minutong nasilayan ang mukha niya sa telebisyon ay nagsimula na ang maraming panganib sa buhay niya. She staged her death. Hanggang sa matagpuan siya ni Jose Luis. Big, tall, and lethal. Hindi lang iyon, the man was sexy as hell. Iniligtas siya nito sa isang tiyak na kamatayan. Subalit tinakasan na niya ang lalaking ito anim na taon na ang nakararaan. Kasama ba ito sa mga nagtatangka sa kanya? Gayunman, may palagay si Cheyenne na mas nanganganib ang puso niya rito kaysa sa buhay niya.

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang katuparan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience--sa anumang paraan. ____ **from the works of Martha Cecilia**

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.

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?

"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!

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.
