Vincent Viaqueza has been known to be a stylish, flamboyant gambler cum engineer who lives for the thrill of a worthy stake.
But what happens when fate plays him so bad that he finally gets more than what he bargains for and must surrender what he holds most dear as leverage, his freedom.
Her life designed and controlled ever since, Vanessa Zaragoza has always felt she was destined for greater things than becoming just a pawn; a bargaining chip for her father's vast conglomerate.
The night she took matters into her own hand to prove to her father her real worth; her plan backfired and she was hurled into a predicament that sealed her fate.
How is she to prove her worth when destiny has other plans for her?
Does she have it within her to fight for herself?
Or will she trust her life in the hands of a gambler?

In Love with the Badass Gangster-Series 2 [R-18] | ✔
In a world of neon lights, pounding bass, and nights that blur into mornings, she swears she's untouchable. Love is a curse she's learned to dodge, a poison she refuses to taste. Her life is simple: survive the chaos, drown the silence, and never let anyone close enough to matter. Then he appears-danger wrapped in a smirk, a disaster in human form. Everyone warns her about him, but fate has a twisted sense of humor. What starts as a game-one she thinks she controls-spirals into something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous. He won't leave her alone. She won't back down. And somewhere between the teasing, the tension, and the night after night of unresolved electricity, she starts to fall. But falling for him has a price. Because he isn't searching for love. He's searching for a cure-for someone to numb the chaos he carries like a second skin. And she refuses to become anyone's temporary fix. This is a story of two broken flames drawn to each other in the dark-burning bright, burning fast, burning wrong. A love they never wanted. A disaster they never saw coming. ----- [MUST READ!!: The photos I used on the book cover are not mine, and I just borrowed them.

Debt of Love: The Billionaire's Wife
"Why does loving you feel like being punished for something I didn't do?" Celestina Alora Ramirez-beautiful, poised, unforgettable. With just one look, she could steal anyone's breath. But behind her flawless face lies a cruel fate: she wasn't born to fall in love. She was sold to survive. Used as payment for her father's monstrous gambling debt, she was handed over like property... to one of the most feared men in the country--Hunter Muller Cortez, the cold, dangerously enigmatic billionaire who owned the very casino that ruined her family. The price of her freedom? Marriage. No love. No choice. No escape. O 'yun ang akala niya.. She thought her life would be full of pain--married to a man she barely knew. But those seven years changed everything. Slowly, something real grew between them. They shared quiet mornings, soft conversations, and small moments that turned into love. They built a home, shared dreams, and had a child who became their world. She didn't expect it, but she truly fell in love with him--completely and honestly. Until tragedy shattered everything. Their only child drowned in a tragic accident that shattered their world beyond repair. Blinded by grief, Hunter turned against the one person who loved them both the most. He believed Celestina let their son die--a sin she never committed, but one he chose never to forgive. Now, Hunter wants to erase everything with an annulment. Hiniling niyang dapat namatay si Celestina. He wants her to be dead. He wants her to be gone, forever.
