Against the Waves (Malapascua Series #1)

Manuel Fernandez, a determined and ambitious businessman, finds his world shattered when his father appoints his brother as Chief Executive Officer, leaving Manuel feeling sidelined and underestimated. Constantine, his brother, embodies everything Manuel despises - recklessness and entitlement. Desperate to prove himself, Manuel strives to earn his father's approval, until an unexpected twist of fate alters his path.

Tasked with managing their resorts in the enchanting yet perilous island of Malapascua, Manuel hesitates. Returning to Malapascua means confronting his haunting past, but the opportunity to make his father proud outweighs his apprehension. As he grapples with his inner turmoil, Manuel crosses paths with the captivating Melanie Dela Rosa, whose presence ignites a spark of hope amidst his darkness.

For Melanie, life revolves around three simple dreams: completing her education, finding a fulfilling job, and uncovering the truth about her father. Her parents' tumultuous history has left her disillusioned with love, until Manuel enters her life like a beacon of light. Despite societal opposition and personal doubts, Melanie finds herself drawn to Manuel, facing the daunting challenge of navigating their love amidst turbulent waters.

Together, Manuel and Melanie confront not only the external obstacles but also their inner demons, as they strive to weather the storms of adversity and find solace in each other's arms. Can they fight the wild waves that is coming towards them? Even if it's against the waves, can they still find light in each other's arms?
