G.S. SERIES #2: Crossroads of Yesterday and Tomorrow [COMPLETED]
Royalty Heaven Camacho is one of the most promising investigative reporters in the city - sharp, relentless, and dangerously charming. She's chasing her biggest career milestone: an exclusive interview with Gavriel Shinichi Zamora, the young and fearsome General Attorney known for both his ruthless courtroom victories and his ironclad silence with the press. The problem? Gavriel hates the media. And he especially wants nothing to do with her. Years ago, they were something almost beautiful - childhood friends turned near-lovers - until Gavriel cut her off without explanation right when she needed him most. Betrayed, Heaven built walls around herself and vowed never to let him, or anyone, hurt her again. Now, when Heaven publicly confronts him at a press conference with a burning question about a controversial case, Gavriel shuts her down in front of everyone - cold, dismissive, and devastatingly handsome. The city eats up the drama, but behind closed doors, the tension between them is volatile. Forced into each other's orbit - her chasing a story, him trying to protect the secrets that could destroy both their careers - they clash at every turn. Arguments turn into late-night confrontations, threats turn into taunts, and somewhere between anger and heartbreak, the lines start to blur. As they pull each other's defenses apart, they realize that the real war isn't just between their careers or ambitions - it's between the versions of themselves they pretended to be... and the ones they become when they're together. At the crossroads of ambition and forgiveness, Gavriel and Heaven must decide: will they let pride win, or finally surrender to the love they never stopped wanting?Complete

BOOK 1 | ESOTERIC
Stellan Salvatore has always been a man of quiet light-woven from hope, steadiness, and dreams too stubborn to die. Even grief could not unmake him. When his mother passed, he gathered the broken pieces of himself and became something stronger: a brother, a guardian, a promise kept for his younger sister, Sheridan. His world was not perfect-but it was calm. Predictable. Safe. Until her. Eris Deveraux arrives like a whisper of disaster cloaked in a smile-mischief in her eyes, ruin in her wake. Where Stellan builds, she dismantles. Where he believes, she questions. And on one fateful night, beneath circumstances neither of them can undo, Stellan makes a choice-a single, irreversible decision-that binds him to her. To chaos. What begins as an alliance quickly reveals itself as something far more dangerous. They are opposites in every sense, yet drawn together by a shared hunger-each possessing something the other desperately desires. Their beliefs collide, their worlds clash, and every moment together feels like standing on the edge of a cliff, waiting for the ground to give way. Because Eris Deveraux is not just chaos embodied. She is a suspect. Accused of the very crime that shadows her every step-the murder of her own parents. And Stellan, despite every warning, every instinct, finds himself stepping closer instead of away. How long can he pretend not to see the danger in her? How long can he ignore the possibility that the very person he trusted could be the one to destroy him? Each choice pulls him deeper into a storm he cannot control, where desire and duty war within him. For in the end, something must be sacrificed. His dreams. His peace. Or the fragile life he built for the sister who depends on him. Will Stellan hold on to the calm he once knew? Or will he surrender to the chaos that calls his name?Complete

I woke up sa isang romantic harem novel. And guess what? Ako yung kontrabida. Oo, ako si Celestine Alcantara-heiress ng Alcantara Medical Empire, mayaman, glam, at certified mean girl. Kalaban ko? Yung so-called mabait at pure-hearted female lead, si Liana Cruz. She's the adoptive daughter of the CEO ng rival hospital chain. Pero teka, bakit ako ang mas relateable? Bakit parang ako yung pinagtutulungan ng universe? To make things worse, and by worse I mean juicy... I'm surrounded by four walking red flags: - A cold but dangerously hot CEO na may hidden soft side. - A smug hotshot lawyer na parang version ko sa OG world. - A charming doctor na mas makinis pa sa baby oil. - At isang sexy celebrity chef na laging may pa-sweet na pagkain... and kilig. They're all supposedly in love with Liana. Pero bakit parang ako ang binibigyan ng screen time ngayon? Plot twist ba 'to o character development? Now I have two choices: follow the script and face my "tragic" ending... or rewrite the story, make them fall for me, and prove na kahit villainess ako, I slay-with or without a gavel. This is not your typical love story. This is my cross-examination with fate. Game ka na ba, Your Honor?
