The year is 1899. The Philippine-American War rages, turning the lush archipelago into a landscape of fire and smoke. Miguel, a fierce loyalist and a paragon of the Philippine revolutionary forces, lives for one thing: his country's freedom. But on a blood-stained battlefield, his war nearly ends in a shallow grave.
When Miguel wakes, the enemy is no longer a faceless army it is a pair of steady hands and a gentle voice. Sarah Bellings, an American nurse, has crossed an ocean to save lives, only to find her heart captured by the man she was taught to fear.
In a world where their union is seen as an act of treason, Miguel and Sarah find refuge in each other. Amidst secret whispers and stolen glances, they bridge the divide of two warring cultures. But as the conflict intensifies, they must decide if their love is worth the ultimate price: their lives, their honor, and their homes.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

Believing in Miracles [COMPLETE]
In the beginning she was alive, her soul bare for this man, loved him with every fiber of her being. She was willing to give up everything that she had for him and worked hard for the future they both hoped for each other; when he still existed. She loved him but did he ever feel the same way? He was loving, caring, and kind; everything a girl could ever wish for in a man. The words destructive and inhuman would've never crossed her mind to describe her husband; or was she so stupid to see it all from the very beginning? Every day she prayed to the man above that the love and attention she constantly gave him would be enough to change such characteristic; no, flaw. But it wasn't so. Every day was a battle, getting worse and worse; that one day she just snapped. ***STRONG PLOT AND LANGUAGE*** ***UPDATE*** To my great surprise, this story has been getting more reads than I ever thought possible. I reread what I wrote once again and tried not to cringe at the many errors and awful sentence structure I had. So in the spirit of Christmas I will try to edit and perfect this story. There wouldn't be changes in the plot, just hopefully a better way of sharing my thoughts. If it's still crap, then I apologize I'm only human :) ****Complete

ONLY A MAYBE, NEVER A YES
You're probably dying to know how this mess wraps up. Like, do they get that big, rainy, dramatic make-out? Does heartbreak suddenly get a plot twist that makes all the pain look artsy and necessary? Nope. Sorry, not that movie. This story's for the ones who get stuck in the "almost." The ones who text at 2 a.m. and call it friendship, even when it's way messier than that. It's all the feelings you never say out loud, and the pretending that helps you get through the day. Love in this story isn't fireworks. It's a quiet ache that sits with you, polite and relentless. Yeah, there's kissing. There's all that skin-on-skin, tangled-up-in-the-gray-area stuff. But here's the kicker: someone always leaves. Someone always waits around, hoping for a miracle that never RSVPs. So, before you dive in, ask yourself-ever loved someone who was never really yours? If not, lucky you. But if you have... pull up a chair. This one's for you.
BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
