When Dilaw Arianette Romualdez's father walked out the picture, she became the footing for her family, raising her younger sisters, covering house bills for her mom, burying her own dreams and wants somewhere else. Her childhood best friend, Elijah Nathaniel Cervantes, was once her safe haven, someone who knew her like the back of his hand, but a bitter fight after his father's departure tore them apart. Four years later, Dilaw reluctantly returns to their vacation home after overworking herself, expecting a quiet summer with his family and work. Instead, she finds Elijah there-unavoidable, unforgotten, and ready to unravel the walls she's built.

EVERY SUMMER, four families make their yearly exodus to the British seaside town of Briarville. For Livia Wong, the trip had been tradition ever since she could remember. Summer was always spent alongside the pristine beaches with the dreamy-hued sunsets. The trip is awaited with anticipation, not fear. Until this year. Livia didn't leave Briarville last year on good terms. It wasn't all her fault, of course not, but she was partially to blame. Being no longer on talking terms with your two closest friends is one thing. Having them as your neighbours for the entire rest of the summer, while your parents and other friends have no idea something is wrong? The plan was simple: Livia was eighteen, about to head to university. If she made it through this summer, she could leave Briarville in the distant past and never have to think about it again. But it was going to be okay. She might not be on talking terms with the Calvert-Egerton twins anymore, and she might have always been on horrible terms with Sarah Hepburn, but she still had Brie and Lila. And her little sister, Pamela. Still, eighteen years of friendship was never something that would simply go down the drain. Livia had some work to do if she wanted to make it out this summer unscathed. Her heart had been broken once, she was not going to let it happen again.

The Aimless Archer
Rishi never meant to fall in love-not with him, anyway. All she wanted was a taste of freedom. Moritz wasn't aiming either. Bratty, stubborn, always ready to argue-she was a walking headache he was asked to look after. Their banter became friendship. Their friendship became something they couldn't name. Until everything fell apart. She had secrets. He felt betrayed. And when it ended, they became polite, distant strangers who once almost had something real. But love, as they've learned, doesn't care for pride, timing, or unspoken truths. And sometimes, the arrow that missed the first time still knows exactly where to land.Complete
The Daisy Effect
Essa Harmony Argana's senior year plan was supposed to be simple: survive algebra without crying, dodge her mom's daily TED Talks about straight A+ grades, and make sure her childhood best friend Raymar didn't blow up the TLE canteen. That was it. Clean. Manageable. Foolproof. Nowhere on that list: falling for a fourteen-year-old sophomore who kept ambushing her with daisies and handwritten letters that smelled faintly of cologne and trouble. Tyron Sanchez is a disaster for her GPA-a charming, relentless sophomore who seems to have made it his mission to prove that age is just a number. And then there's Raymar Bastian, who knows her better than she knows herself... and is starting to look at her like he's finally realized she's not just one of the guys. Now Essa has to choose between the safe, familiar heart she's always known, and the reckless, thrilling one that makes her forget every carefully laid plan. And if she's not careful, she might lose both her future and her oldest friend in the process.Complete

Summer Memories
Yoona's summer plans were simple: survive the history exam, avoid awkward small talk, and recharge by the sea with a good book. Falling for her brother's best friend? Not on the agenda. But when quiet, bookish Nate offers to help her study, late-night cramming sessions turn into beach walks, stolen glances, and something she never expected-real connection. Between heart-to-hearts under the stars and slow, tender moments that make her chest ache, Yoona starts to wonder if this summer might mean something more. As college approaches and the end of summer looms, friendships shift, love blooms, and secrets unravel-including one that could change everything about the bet they made during the first week at the beach... "I knew that if I wanted to make a move, this was the moment. I snuck a glance at her-her skin glowed under the soft radiance of the lanterns' flickering light. She looked so beautiful. I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. Instead, I looked down at her hand. Slowly, I shifted mine toward hers, careful not to startle her. She seemed deep in thought, mesmerized by the beauty above us. My hand brushed against hers, then I pulled away instinctively-but when I reached out again, this time a bit more bravely, she didn't retreat. Instead, she moved closer. And when our fingers finally intertwined, I closed my eyes and let the happiness rush through me. The tension in my chest evaporated, and I finally exhaled."
