First 5 chapters of my latest book, published and available worldwide now. Eighteen-year-old Clara Liwanag is a small-town girl with a big dream: to be a hard-hitting national news reporter. The only problem? She's been stuck at her family's resort in Pampanga her whole life. So she makes a foolproof plan to achieve her goal. Step One, check: Get a scholarship to study in Manila, the place where all the action is. What's not part of The Plan? Meeting basketball heartthrob and aspiring photographer Mickey King. He's annoying, distracting, and always manages to catch Clara at her worst. But as much as she hates to admit it, he has a sweet, caring side that makes her think twice. When Clara starts struggling in school and her plan falls apart, she wonders if she should have listened to her parents and stayed closer to home. Should she give up and go back, or face her fears in a city that could break her heart and her spirit? *This novel is part of the #RomanceClassFlicker series, but can be read as a standalone. The complete book is available on Amazon or my website (link in my profile page). Happy reading!
