Ana is in a rut.
For years, she had been focused on trying to carve out a niche for herself in a competitive, male-dominated, scientific world. On her 32nd birthday, she finally takes a step back and evaluates her life’s direction. With a little prodding from her friends, she decides that this is the year she’ll finally capture the heart of the research associate she’s secretly loved for ages.
So she makes a birthday wish—to finally fall in love with someone ('with' being the operative word).
But be careful what you wish for—Fate always answers—even if it isn't the exact answer we were hoping for. Find out how even the best-laid plans go awry when the paths of two very different people suddenly collide.
Sometimes people search their whole lives for a happy-ever-after. The lucky people are those who realize what's in front of them and never let it go. ;-)

Ngunit hindi niya nagawang iwasan ang lalaki nang bigla itong magboluntaryong tulungan siyang hanapin si Park Joon Young. At dahil walang mapagpipilian, tinanggap ni Julia ang inaalok na tulong ni Andrew. As it turns out, Andrew wasn't as bad as she first thought he was.

And in the midst of finding Joon Young, she found herself falling for him. But falling in love with the person you don't really know has its consequences.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
