A virgin widow. At gusto niyang takasan ang bayaw na naghahangad sa kanya. Mula Houston, Texas, Kristine was swept into a savage paradise sa isla ng mga Navarro sa Quezon Province. Si Alvaro, ang panganay na anak ni Franco Navarro, was a handsome devil na walang balak magpatali sa kasal. Kristine suited him. A sexy widow. Pero ang malamang virgin pa ito ay isang bonus.

WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SEPTEMBER 2021 EXCLUSIVE CHAPTERS AND WRITER'S REVEAL CONTENT AVAILABLE - NOT A PAID STORY Appearances can be deceiving. What if the Bad Boy wasn't so bad and the good girl wasn't quite so good? Kelly Wankum has an unfortunate last name and even worse luck. By the tender age of twenty-three, she's broken her tailbone, thumb, her nose, hip, and now her rib. It wouldn't be so bad if she could say something funny like, "I broke myself on a stripper pole" or "I was mugged in a Walmart parking lot." That would actually be believable, right? Instead, she breaks her rib reaching for a ball of yarn. Even worse, everyone knows she's so accident prone, she could sneeze and lose a tooth. They'd probably bet on her swallowing it in a pancake. Oh wait, she's done that too. Another trip to the Urgent Care has the doctors shaking their heads, offering to pray for her health while new, sexy Doctor Blake Cole immediately gets off on the wrong foot. Months after their first encounter, Blake and Kelly meet again by chance. After inadvertantly humiliating her, Blake tries to set things straight and make it up to her. The problem is, Blake's lifestyle is painfully different, and Kelly can't help imagining him like every bad boy she's ever read about online. Can Blake convince her to give him a chance and prove he's actually a good guy? **This story is set in the present and the pandemic is part of the narrative.** --Cover by AnnieRosebud-- ©2020, 2022

I'm just an ordinary girl who fell in love with a casanova. Lahat ng babae kaagaw ko. Pag sexy at maganda napapansin niya. Ako? Isa lang naman akong simpleng babae. Nerd kung tawagin ng mga tao. May makapal na salamin, braces at buhok na parang walis. Pero ang hindi alam ng lahat may isa pa akong pagkatao na pilit kong tinatago. Akala ko hindi na niya ako mapapansin dahil hindi naman ako kasing-sexy ng mga nagiging babae niya. But one day, I just found myself lying on the bed with him. We made love. That's what I thought. Pero nagkamali pala ako. Dahil para sa kanya, laro lang ang lahat. But wait, there's more, he got me pregnant.
