Sinner Stranger

[WATTYS 2025 SHORTLIST]

He ran to escape grief. She killed to survive.

Dimitri Chantengco thought fleeing to another continent would bury the death that shattered his family. But three weeks later, in the smoke of a new city and a fire-dancer's dangerous smile, he found something else: desire. And something far more dangerous-Gethsemane Lachica.

She was no ordinary stranger.
She was the assassin hired to erase a legacy of corruption.
And the unwitting savior of the man she was meant to kill.

The night a private jet exploded over Tagaytay, lives ended. But in the wreckage, a secret survived-one that could unravel everything.

A man hiding behind lies.
A woman haunted by blood.
They weren't just lovers.
They were each other's final alibi.

Are they guilty sinners . . .
or strangers caught in the same sin?
