Maria Ruana Aveline Velez, a global pop sensation with ocean-grey eyes and signature burgundy hair, seems to have it all. Adoring fans, sold-out arenas, and a life wrapped in glamour. But behind the spotlight lies a yearning for something real, something grounding.
Carlos Alexander Lim, the grounded and adventurous heir to a discreet billionaire legacy. His life is far from the limelight, spent trekking through forests, setting up campfires with his tight-knit family, and seeking thrill in nature's untouched corners.
When a twist of fate places Mara in the same remote location as Cal during a much-needed escape from fame, their worlds unexpectedly intertwine. What begins as an awkward encounter evolves into a journey of connection through shared laughter, vulnerability, and quiet moments far from the noise of their lives.
As both of them navigates personal struggles, media chaos, and the complexities of falling for someone from a different rhythm of life, they discover that sometimes, the greatest harmony comes from stepping off the beaten path.

Written in Stone (Heart of Stone: Book 3)
Paradise. The location. The work. The guy. Sophia Palmer has never been happier. After the craziest ten months of her life, she's enjoying the idyllic scenery of Costa Rica with the man of her dreams by her side. Volunteering at a turtle refuge, having endless sex, and relaxing in an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea -- nothing could possibly burst her bubble. Except maybe some overzealous fans, a slew of hatred on social media, and a viral recording of a past kiss with her famous boyfriend's equally famous best friend. * Euphoria. The fame. The fans. The girl. Ed Stone has been living life on a permanent high. He thought nothing could beat the buzz of singing in an arena full of adoring fans, or hitting number one in the charts, or finding that perfect lyric. Then Sophia Palmer entered his life ten months ago, and everything he thought he knew about happiness changed. No music-induced high can make his heart thump as fast as she does. He used to like the barrier that his stage persona provided, but when he's a squeaky-clean popstar who can do no wrong, his adoring fanbase is quick to vilify anyone who doesn't match up. Including his girlfriend. The solution? It's time for Teddy Stone to show the world a different side of him. * Content warnings: strong sexual content, strong language Sample: This is a sample.
