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.

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.

How can it be wrong if it feels so fucking right? ... And then his mouth was on mine. It wasn't soft. It wasn't careful. It was a collision of teeth, breath, desperation and fucking vodka. My back hit the mirror, the cracked glass rattling as his hands slid up my thighs, gripping, lifting me like I weighed nothing. "Lorenzo-" "Shut up," he rasped against my lips, kissing me harder. "Just - shut up." I clawed at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt. He groaned, the sound vibrating against my mouth, and pressed closer, his hips slotting between my legs as he pinned me to the mirror. Every inch of me screamed to shove him away. Every inch of me burned to pull him closer. His hands were everywhere, spreading over my waist, skimming up my sides, catching my jaw to tilt my head just so as his mouth devoured mine. The cracked mirror dug cold into my back, but the heat of him was a wildfire swallowing me whole. "You hate me, remember?" he muttered against my mouth, biting my bottom lip before sucking it back into a kiss. "I do," I gasped, nails scraping down his arms. "Good," he said darkly, kissing me again, harder this time. "Hate me harder." I did. I kissed him like it was a fight, like it was revenge, like it was the only way to breathe. ... fractured love trilogy #2 [can be read as a standalone]

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
