Endless Chase (Buencamino Series #1) by shiwriteshere

Katrina, a soldier in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, returns to her hometown in Ilog, a province in Negros Occidental, feigning amnesia as part of a mission she undertakes with her colleague, Ana. Unbeknownst to her, her childhood friend Danilo recognizes her instantly and harbors deep feelings, aware of the past connection Katrina is pretending to have forgotten. He has always been captivated by her, a love story etched with the ache of her tendency to slip away, each goodbye fueling an endless chase to bridge the distance she creates. The municipality of Ilog holds the key to unlocking the truth Katrina seeks about her mother's death, her father's whereabouts, and her family's history - a truth that has seemingly kept her in a personal endless chase for answers. As Katrina navigates her mission, the familiar surroundings of Ilog and the persistent presence of Danilo, who sees through her facade and continues his own endless chase to hold onto her, become crucial elements in uncovering the secrets she is deliberately concealing. But as Katrina's mission and Danilo's enduring pursuit and love intertwine in the secrets of Ilog, will the truth she is actively hiding and the truth she seeks to uncover finally allow them to find common ground, or will her ingrained habit of slipping away leave Danilo in an even more desperate endless chase for the truth and her heart?

Across the Map, Into His Arms by miamotto

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?

Different Moments, Same Place by helianarcher

Kalista thought moving to the city for college would be the beginning of her long-awaited freedom. For years, she lived in the quiet grip of the province--safe, predictable, yet suffocating. But the city wasn't the fresh start she imagined. It was loud, restless, and unyielding, pulling her into its chaos instead of setting her free. It was in that confusion that Jade appeared--a strange yet magnetic girl with a gift no one else could claim. She could see fragments of the future. When Jade crossed Kalista's path, she spoke of a turning point, of someone who would change everything. Kalista brushed it off as nothing more than a riddle... until Ethan came. Ethan, a boy of the city, moved with its rhythm but hid storms beneath the surface. Their worlds collided through an unexpected online encounter, and suddenly, Jade's words began to echo with meaning. Midnight conversations and fleeting messages stitched together a fragile bond between them, one that felt achingly real despite existing only in pixels. Pero ang mga pangitain tungkol sa hinaharap ay laging may kasamang anino. Habang nahihirapan si Kalista na hanapin ang lugar niya sa siyudad na hindi kailanman humihinto, nagiging kanlungan at panganib si Ethan sa buhay niya. At si Jade--na nakamasid mula sa gilid ng kanilang kwento--ay nagpapaalala na ang tadhana ay hindi kailanman simple. Sa mundong puno ng layo, pagdududa, at mismong kapalaran na humahadlang, kaya ba talagang hawakan nina Kalista at Ethan ang pangako ng isang mas malalim na ugnayan? O hinahabol lang nila ang isang pangarap na nakatakdang mawala sa kanilang mga kamay? Start: November 7, 2024

Seraphine Van Zeler thrives in her double life -- by night, a masked burlesque dancer captivating the high society's elite; by day, a calculating serial killer, cleaning up the deaths of the powerful men who once assaulted her sister -- the very same sister who abandoned her. Every performance, every death cleaned, brings her one step closer to finding her. Then, one night, an unmasked gentleman places a 5 million bid for a night with her. He loses -- but for reasons Seraphine can't explain, she wishes he'd won. His piercing gaze lingers in her mind, his knowing stare unsettling her in ways she doesn't understand. By morning, she's in handcuffs, accused of the murders she's spent years cleaning and covering-up in secret. And when she faces her interrogator, she's met with the same unforgettable eyes -- Lucifer Abalkin. Seraphine denies the killing. But instead of pressing for a confession, Lucifer makes her an offer: become a Grim Reaper for the Hades Organization, work by his side, and he'll set her free.
