Alluring The Fire [Under Revision]
WARNING: SPG | Mature Content | R-18 All she was expecting from him was a grant to support her education; little did she know that he would give her more. βΌβββββββββββββΌ The 20-year-old student, Cassandra del Rosario, has no other objectives in life but two things: (1) to be liberated from the undesired degree program, and (2) to release her family from the curse of poverty. For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other. However, due to their status in life- Cassandra as a scholar and Lorenzo as a mayor- their sudden relationship became furtive. But one thing is undoubtedly true: no secret can be kept forever. Everything will be disclosed, and everyone will be opposed to their stealthy affair. For Cassandra, Lorenzo was the man who captured her heart; for Lorenzo, Cassandra was nothing more than a knick-knack for the little game he wanted to perform. Cassandra's heart shattered to pieces upon learning all the secrets that were kept from her. Lorenzo will feel that he should be over the moon as he finally accomplished his long-awaited plan, but why did everything he did seem to backfire on him? Separated paths. Shattered trusts. Broken hearts. Is love really worth fighting for? Β© π©πππππ πππ, 2019 *This novel is unedited.

Across the Map, Into His Arms
Prologue Somewhere between destiny and detour, their paths collided. Liana Francisco never planned to fall in love during a two-month escape in Manila. A small-town girl with soil on her hands and sun in her laughter, she only wanted a break-a wild city adventure with her best friends before going back to running her family's beloved farm. But fate had a different map in mind. Enter Maximilian Blackwood-cold, calculating, and the living embodiment of the word untouchable. A powerful businessman with a sharp tongue and an even sharper past, he believed love was a weakness. He lived by rules, not feelings. Control was his comfort zone, and vulnerability was a luxury he couldn't afford. So when a stubborn, sun-kissed stranger walked into his world-with her messy charm, barefoot honesty, and the kind of heart that terrified him-Maximilian didn't stand a chance. Neither of them did. What began as a fiery clash in the heart of the city slowly unraveled into something deeper, something unexpected. Secrets from the past. Late-night conversations. Shared silences. A spark too loud to ignore. But with walls built high and lives so far apart, will one summer be enough to change everything? Or will they remain two souls, lost in translation, across the map-but always drawn into each other's arms?Complete
