Joyce Sison is thrilled by her university's annual gift-giving traditions when her Secret Santa ticks off every single item on her Christmas wish list. Going over and beyond the allotted budget for an inconspicuous Filipina immigrant on campus is completely unexpected, though stranger things have happened. Like her ultimate crush, star athlete Blaise 'The Blaze' Newton, breaking up with his long-time girlfriend Holly Bower over the summer. Or wild child Fallon Troland, Joyce's best friend, pulling a prank on the attention-seeking mean girl Caroline Hall during the cheerleading try-outs, only to make the team. But people like them regularly attract attention: a quality wallflowers like Joyce can do without.
When Blaise, and his ex's boy-next-door brother Don, both ask out Joyce days before the reveal, she concludes her Secret Santa could only be one of the two. Neither confesses to be the culprit, however, when the gifts turn from sweet to sinister. From there, her list of suspects only expands. So does her motley crew of amateur detectives, each dead-set on proving their innocence.
Life, however, is never as easy as it looks. Stakes rise higher when they realize this Secret Santa has plans not just for Joyce, but for the rest of them. Whoever it is hardly appreciates their hard work undermined by the very scapegoats they intend to take the blame. Not for a love of the Filipina, but for whatever it takes to win her heart.

For Just a Moment

But a well-meaning social worker hoping to help Molly come to terms with her troubled past, forces her to participate in an every-other-day lunch group. It is here that she meets Ali, who is figuring out her own sexuality, Trinity, so neglected at home that she seeks solace in the arms of older men, Rubi, a Mexican immigrant with her hands full, between her dying mama and younger, special needs sister, and Layla, the richest, most beautiful, and most manipulative girl in the school. Molly also draws the attention of charming soccer player, Noah Nazarian, after he sees her accidentally defending his freshman brother from bullies on the first day of school. Desperate to be left alone, Molly invents a pretend boyfriend. The only problem is that he ends up being not so pretend, and now Molly finds herself as one half of a fake relationship that is the obsession of the most popular clique at school.Complet

Sins of the Elite (18+)
If Avantika had the power to make three of her wishes come true, she would only desire three things from her life: becoming part of the elite group of the college, hanging out with the elite group of the college, and enjoying life as part of the elite group of the college. She was obsessed. Why wouldn't she be? The girls of the so-called elite group are absolutely stunning and groomed well to become the following models and actresses. The boys of the group are aristocratic heir and hotter than the devils of hell. One of the boys, the leader of them, the undisputed alpha, Advait Sharma, is the one she had the biggest crush on. Advait was part of the group but not part of it simultaneously. Advait was the member and the leader, but no rules were applied to him. He was more than just a part of the group; he was a student leader and an intellectual, and he was already destined to become the next big thing in whatever path he chose. His presence was enough to make her go submissive in her bones; she never knew what was is it about him that she would suddenly become a delicate flower mentally prepared to be ruined by him; maybe it was his masculine aura, his dominating personality, and his sexy body. It's a sensuous, romantic, political story with future possibilities of arranged marriages and dark romance.

I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE
Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.
