3rd Generation #4: The Lineage Continues Ricos Anton Santa de Leones-Castañeda

Summer Lee is thirty, gorgeous, successful-and still untouched by love. She's never been kissed. Never even held hands. Not because she's hard to please, but because her overprotective dad and brothers built a wall so high, no man's ever made it over. As the only girl in the family, she's been guarded like a national treasure. Every single man who tried to court her mysteriously vanished without a trace-and she's pretty sure her brothers had something to do with it. Just as Summer gives up on romance, fate throws her a curveball: he comes back. Ruey Zix Montclair-the one boy she secretly wanted, the one her teenage heart never forgot. Now he's back, all grown up: colder, sharper, and devastatingly hotter. But Ruey keeps his distance. He has to. She's his best friends' little sister, and breaking that unspoken rule could destroy everything. He tries to keep the line clear. To look away. To treat her like nothing's changed. But Summer isn't the same girl anymore. And neither is he. And when desire starts to slip past the walls he built, Ruey realizes the one thing more dangerous than crossing the line... is not crossing it at all.

Or is Liahonna destined to stay in the background, admiring a love that was never hers to begin with?

Ang sabi nila, ang mayaman ay para lang sa mga mayayaman. Bago ka pa ipinanganak dito sa mundo ay nakasulat na ang kapalaran mo. Kung ipinanganak kang mahirap ay mamamatay kang mahirap. Iyan ang mga bagay na hindi ko pinaniniwalaan, hindi din naman kasi malaking bagay para sa akin ang estado ng buhay ng isang tao. Ang mahalaga, maging mabuting tao. Hinding hindi ako tutulad sa aking ama na ipinagpalit ang pamilya para sa marangyang buhay.
