He is off-limits. He has always been off-limits to her. Too bad, she's never been good at following the rules. After her failed attempt at happiness, Sahara Israel is back at the place she vowed to never set foot in again. Leaving the life she built with her ex-husband in the city, she had no choice but to come back to Hermosa to hide and lick her wounds. It was the last place on earth she wanted to go, but she needed to be with her best friends as she navigated this new chapter in her life... even if it meant she might bump into the first boy who had broken her heart before beyond repair. Apollo Arcangel is Hermosa's most eligible bachelor and also the hometown's hermit. He has spent the last five years building back the family business his father left in ruins. He has no time for frivolous things in his life, and there's no one more frivolous than his ex-girlfriend (and almost stepsister) Sahara. It's been years since he's seen her, but when Sahara drives into his land and back into his life, he realizes he still can't take his eyes off her. So Apollo takes it upon himself to help her get back on her feet, that way she can leave as quickly as she came. But first, he needs to know why she came back after being gone all these years without a trace. It's what he deserves after looking for her relentlessly. It's for his peace of mind... his closure. At least, that's what he keeps telling himself. As Sahara and Apollo learn to co-exist again, it's getting more difficult for them to separate old and new feelings for each other. Can he forgive her for leaving? Can she forget his betrayal? Or will they end up burning each other all over again? *** Updates every Friday. Also available on PATREON.

Leila Cruz is the daughter of the hired help of one of the richest families in Hermosa, while Ysmael Hidalgo is the town's pride and joy. But even though they are worlds apart, the two form an unlikely friendship. A friendship that quickly blossomed into an intense love affair that eventually led to the soul-crushing heartbreak they didn't see coming. Leila is a cautious planner, and thinks he is a risk she's willing to take. Because for a time, she believed he was so worth it. But Ysmael let her down, making her spiral until she reached rock bottom and disappeared without a word. Four years later, Leila is back in his life and Ysmael is determined to right all his wrongs. But can he make it up to her now? And would she let him? Before, it was them against the world. Now, she thinks he's out to get her, and the one thing she loves the most... Their daughter. **WILL BE UPDATED EVERY TUESDAY (On-hiatus)
