In the gilded halls of Ridgeway Academy, Evan Carlisle is the golden boy. Wealthy, untouchable, and destined to inherit his family's empire. But beneath his nonchalant demeanor lies a boy searching for something real, something that money and privilege can't buy.
Mia Alcantara, on the other hand, is a storm in human form. Fiercely independent and unapologetically herself, she's determined to rise above the whispers of her scholarship status and the shadows of her past. She has no time for the superficial world Evan represents.
When their worlds collide, sparks fly. But not the romantic kind. Mia challenges everything Evan knows, while Evan chips away at Mia's walls. What begins as a battle of wills turns into a complicated entanglement of emotions that neither can deny.
As secrets unravel and their vulnerabilities are exposed, Evan and Mia must confront the fractures in their own hearts. But in a world where love feels like both salvation and destruction, can they piece together something beautiful from the cracks?
"Cracked Gold" is a heart-wrenching tale of love, hurt, and the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. It's a story of two people who find themselves in each other, even as they risk losing everything
Ethios Aniel "Ethan" Del Russo had it all: wealth, charm, and the freedom to live recklessly. As the spoiled heir to a powerful Filipino-Italian family, commitment wasn't part of his vocabulary. Then he met Reagina Anais at a college frat party-a fiery, sharp-tongued woman who slapped him over a misunderstanding before disappearing after one unforgettable night.
Five years later, Ethan's carefully controlled life shatters when he finds Reagina again, working as a stripper in an exclusive club. He knows he should stay away, but she's all he can think about. Beneath her defiant smile lies a secret she's desperate to keep-a child Ethan never knew existed.
