Raised to be perfect, prim, and proper, Sabrina Tresvalles has always been in control of her emotions. But her annoying childhood friend and band drummer Pierre Cruz knows exactly how to push her buttons...and how to make her feel.
***
Sabrina is the definition of a perfect daughter. Her every move is precise and calculated--she walks with her posture straight and her head high, never crying and never showing signs of weakness. Even her smiles are practiced, and Pierre, her complete opposite: charming, reckless, never afraid to show what he feels--hates that. He hates it so much that he bullies and teases her to no end to make her angry, to let out her real emotions. But when Sabrina begins to feel so much more for Pierre, it seems that the most sophisticated and classy woman would even drop to her knees on the ground for love.

SIS (Social Issue Series) #5: Victim Blaming
Why is talking about sex a taboo? What's wrong with sex? Sex is normal. Sex is fine. As long as it is consensual then all else is good. But someone being sexually open does not and will never equate to providing license for slut shaming or sexual harassment.
Iris Everleigh is an all-around social media influencer. She isn't your typical dalagang Filipina. Her audacity and exceptionality are what set her apart from the rest. She enjoys things without giving a single fuck to whatever people has to say.
Ace Frederick is the complete opposite. A primitive and vigilant guy. Never in his wildest dreams would he want to involve himself to someone who would just make his life complicated. His vision was simple: Be successful enough, get a decent woman to get married to, and start a family of his own.
So what could happen if they stumble upon each other? A club probably? Where Ace was just supposed to attend his friend's bachelor party? But ended up crossing paths with the irresistible and drunk Iris? Will he be able to stand by his principles? Or would it be impossible to?
