Summer Lee is thirty, gorgeous, successful-and still untouched by love. She's never been kissed. Never even held hands. Not because she's hard to please, but because her overprotective dad and brothers built a wall so high, no man's ever made it over.

As the only girl in the family, she's been guarded like a national treasure. Every single man who tried to court her mysteriously vanished without a trace-and she's pretty sure her brothers had something to do with it. Just as Summer gives up on romance, fate throws her a curveball: he comes back.

Ruey Zix Montclair-the one boy she secretly wanted, the one her teenage heart never forgot. Now he's back, all grown up: colder, sharper, and devastatingly hotter. But Ruey keeps his distance. He has to. She's his best friends' little sister, and breaking that unspoken rule could destroy everything.

He tries to keep the line clear. To look away. To treat her like nothing's changed. But Summer isn't the same girl anymore. And neither is he. And when desire starts to slip past the walls he built, Ruey realizes the one thing more dangerous than crossing the line... is not crossing it at all.All Rights Reserved

"I don't know what's with you but you make me feel so many things I shouldn't feel. So many emotions that make me feel alive and it makes my mind empty, leaving only you to think about every passing second without fail. . ." Tyson Martin. A ruthless man with a cold heart, in a hot exterior. He's someone who isolates himself, trusting no one but himself. He never allows any emotion or weakness to surface in front of others. Everything was going according to plan, until he caught a glimpse of a woman with the most angelic face he had ever laid eyes on. His friend's sister whom he has to protect. Leigh Irish Alvarez, a girl with an innocent charm, hidden to the world her whole life. She, who trusts easily, plays a lot, and drives him to the brink of insanity with her innocence. In contrast to him, she is like a tiny rabbit, lost in a monster's den. Tyson was a man who could obtain anything he desired with a mere snap of his fingers. A man who never ran out of plans and is always one step ahead with everything. But he sure didn't expect nor planned for that sweet girl to just suddenly squeeze into his life, infiltrating his defenses the moment he let his guard down. And the worst part was that he couldn't kick her out of his system, the moment she entered it like a curse, no matter how much he tried. For the first time in his life, Tyson found himself without a plan, surrendering to the inexplicable pull and allowing himself to foolishly fall deeper under the spell of this girl's innocent charm.

Love From The Other World by katheiaa

Amidst the never ending blur of hurried footsteps and fleeting glances, there exists Zyrille Ann Santos-a perpetual motion machine driven by relentless pursuit of financial stability. From dawn to dusk, Zyrille's life unfolds in a flurry of deadlines and commitments, each step synchronized with the ticking clock of bills and debts awaiting payment. A scholar and a working student, Zyrille's days of a symphony of constant movement, racing against time in a bid to pay their debts brought by her adoptive father's death and to provide a good life for her adoptive family, Zyrille always believed that she had to bustle around and to rush, three-times faster than the world spins. She never stops to rest, even for a while-turning night to day, and day still a day. Not until that one night, when she finally talked to that man who she shared class with, a ruthless monster that every single decent person in the city was scared to. Timothy Blake Relish, the campus demon and the company slayer. And as cliche as it may sound, they fell in love with each other, and as all stories have, problems arise. How could a lady bustling around the city to earn money be in a relationship with a ruthless heir who's a business mans' worst nightmare? Could they fight for the love they have even though two different worlds separate them? Is love from the other world a crime, and does it even exist?

But how do you fight a love that refuses to fade? Zian, now a man of quiet persistence, stays by her side-never giving up, never walking away. With every gesture, every word, every moment they share as husband and wife, the walls she built begin to crack.

Always Have Been, Always Will Be | ✓ by elshimore

Somersault Boys Series #1 Might not. Probably won't. Maybe never. Unlikely. Doubtful. Despite being everything he could have been, Elize constantly settled in the dark, lurking with the impossibles and uncertainties. He believed that he would grow up and take the path of life in a single route with one straight line; no turns, no shortcuts. Perhaps it was because his one and only flesh and blood prompted him to think that if he didn't act like how he was made and how he was supposed to be, he would never reach the light at the end of the tunnel, or never reach his dreams, never be accepted, never be treated seriously...never be loved. The word "Always" was never in Elize's vocabulary-an exception with always doubting, always trying, always...just dreaming. But never the good kind of "Always". Then he tasted it, the bittersweet sensation in his tongue when his mother left him to work abroad. Elize then started to thrive, meet new friends, socialize, be a human...fall in love. For the first time, Elize felt free, felt genuine, felt...guilty? Guilty...was it because he felt glad his mother left, or because he met someone that made him start to feel the Always' in his Nevers? Regardless, he dedicated his whole life in chasing that assurance in his world of doubts, and he simply could not back out now. But when good things come to an end, the choice is yours if you want to let it go, or fight for it. If you choose the latter, make sure to draw blood and fight until you're dead. Just like Elize did.
