NJ Mabini, drummer of Catholic worship band Manalig, can't stand their newest member, violinist Van Esquivel, but no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to avoid him. When her old violin teacher comes across them grudgingly sitting together at a food park, she asks them to play a duet for a recital. NJ wonders if they can set aside their differences long enough for the performance, but turns out that they have more things in common than she thought. Maybe they can be friends, after all. And maybe...more? This story was part of Nomcom: Tropetastic Kindness Bundle 2, a charity anthology that featured all-new romance short stories from 14 #RomanceClass authors.

Aya Contreras is thrilled to be studying in the land of sakura and sushi. Tokyo is a fascinating city to live in-vending machines, cosplayers, karaoke boxes, and bright, colorful conbinis on every corner. And the architectural design program she's in is everything she dreamed it to be. The only problem? Her tutor doesn't seem to like her. Well, she doesn't like him very much either. Sure, Ryohei Mori is talented, and there's no denying he's hot. But he's also a surly, bossy know-it-all who eats too many cookies. Another annoying thing about him is he's nosy. And when he stumbles upon the crazy bucket list Aya's sisters forced on her, he teases her mercilessly about it. But when their professor pairs them up for a design competition, things get . . . interesting. Fueled by beer and a whole lot of cookies, can Aya and Ryo cross out some items on her bucket list without killing each other? Or will they realize there's much more to each other than they'd originally thought? + + + NOTE: - This is available as an ebook on Amazon.com - Print copies available at National Bookstore (PH) - This was published by SparkBooks (Anvil Publishing) in 2017 - This contains only the first few chapters

Seventeen-year-old Alexa Zamora looks as if she's always been the beautiful and graceful center of attention. If you knew her in grade school though, you'd remember a sad little girl, who had lost her parents, and spent most of her time on the martial art arnis-a rough sport, not something girls were supposed to like. If you knew her then, you might have ostracized her for it. She learned from this mistake, and has done her best to hide all traces of her sport and skill in a new school, and now she's New Hope Academy's It Girl. But transfer student Theo Guevarra, who happens to be her old arnis buddy and first love, arrives and makes her question the life she's been living. How long can she keep up appearances, before it all falls apart?
