Halfway to Something
They say love is a choice. But what if the choice you made had nothing to do with love? We didn't marry because we were in love. We married because we both needed something- And each other was just... convenient. He needed a wife. I needed the money. So we signed the papers, wore the masks, and promised we wouldn't fall. But nothing about him is simple. He was the boy I loathed the most when I was twelve. Five years older, always out of reach, always one step ahead. Now, we're under the same roof, bound by the same lie. And yet, he still feels miles away. He's cold. Detached. Always in control. And I hate how effortlessly he gets under my skin. Me? I keep my thoughts sharp and my walls higher. I never let anyone see me falter. And I'm always mindful of the image I project-especially when no one's watching. And now, I'm slowly forgetting the rules we set when we said, "I do." This wasn't supposed to mean anything. But now, we're halfway into something neither of us knows how to name. And the thing about secrets? They always ask for more.
Caught in Between (Chaos #1)
Ashton Kiel Ejercito is the epitome of a baddy with a heart - tough, resilient, and unapologetically independent. A typical nursing student during the day and bartender by night, Ashton balances her books and bottles to keep her family afloat. She doesn't need to be saved - especially not by some golden boy. Javier Alas "Javi" Valdez - the top student of the nursing department, wealthy, charming, and annoyingly carefree. They shared the same university halls for years, but fate never let their worlds collide... until one night at the bar Ashton's worked at. One wrong move. One accident. One choice that cost her the job she relied on. She swore never to see him again. But the universe knows better. Now, Ashton finds herself reluctantly working as Javi's personal assistant - or more accurately, his "bantay," hired by his mother to keep him grounded. What starts as a forced partnership turns into a slow unraveling of secrets, sparks, and something neither of them saw coming. Can two people from different worlds learn to coexist - or worse, fall for each other?

The Art Of Not Falling (Cool Kids Series #1)
Dienna De Guzman has always believed herself immune to love. While her friends swoon over crushes and romance novels, she remains unmoved-untouched by fluttering hearts or lingering gazes. She's convinced she's simply not built for romantic love, and she's content with that certainty. Then she meets Elton James Morales. Cold, quiet, and enigmatic, Elton is the kind of person who draws attention without trying. He keeps his distance, guarded and unreadable-yet somehow, Dienna finds herself drawn in. It starts with curiosity, turns into fascination, and soon becomes something she never thought she'd feel: something dangerously close to love. But feelings, especially unfamiliar ones, are hard to navigate. Convinced her emotions are one-sided, Dienna does everything she can to keep them hidden. A stolen glance here, a lingering silence there-everything subtle, everything restrained. Because falling for someone who may never feel the same? That was never part of the plan. The Art of Not Falling is a slow-burn journey of unexpected connection, emotional awakening, and learning that sometimes, love finds you-even when you've spent your whole life sure it never would. Because sometimes, The Art of Not Falling... is exactly how you fall.
