Gabrielle De Vera has always battled quiet wars-ones fought in the stillness of her heart. Beneath her prayers and smiles is a young woman wrestling with deep-seated doubts. An academic achiever to many, Gabie silently battles the fear of not being enough. Each failure chips away at her self-worth, and the future she once prayed for now feels blurred and uncertain. A gleeful girl to the world, but a soul burdened behind closed doors. Yet she clings to her faith, believing that in God's perfect time, everything will fall into place-including love. She clings to the idea that somewhere out there, someone is meant for her-the one who will make the wait worth it.
Then she meets Theodore Noah Cuizon.
Theodore is everything Gabie never expected. Soft-spoken, gentle, and wrapped in a silence that speaks of pain. Life forced him to grow up too soon, carrying the heaviness of a home that no longer felt whole. Love, for him, was a luxury he never dared to imagine. But Gabrielle's light, grace, and quiet strength changes that.
Two souls find solace in each other's presence. When he pulls her close, the world fades, and all that's left is the quiet comfort of home. It felt like God was finally answering the prayers she whispered through the years.
But the moment she embraces love, the world that she knew begins to fall apart.
As their families' pasts collide in chaos, secrets from Theodore's past surface - dark truths that threaten not only their relationship but everything Gabrielle has ever believed in. Their love, once pure and filled with faith, suddenly feels like a sin written by fate.
Can grace still find them in the ruins? Can love endure the generational pain they never asked to inherit?
Grace between the pages became her quiet reminder that sometimes, the heart's greatest wish arrives when it's almost too late to hold onto it-and she learned that fighting for a love was never meant to break her, but to redeem her.

AMBROSE SERIES #1
Chiara Heaven Vergara didn't think light could reach her.
In the quiet stillness of her room, where the cold was her only constant companion. Raised in a household where affection was scarce, She has always struggled to understand what love is supposed to feel like. She believed the warmth of love was a story for others to tell, never hers to live.
But then came Malakai Elion Fuentes, a burst of sunlight in her shadowed world. He didn't force his way in, he simply stayed, patient and unwavering, until his presence seeped through the walls she had built so high.
He was her best friend, a polar opposite of herself. Outgoing, friendly, and raised in a family where love is as natural as breathing. Sa bawat tawa, bawat banayad na pagbibiro, at bawat tahimik na pag-unawa, si Kai ang naging init na hindi kailanman inakala ni Chiara na mararamdaman niya.
Yet, letting the sun in is never easy for someone who's learned to live in the dark.
As doubts cloud her mind and fear whispers that she's unworthy, Chiara stands at a crossroads. Will she let the sunlight continue to seep in, bringing life to the parts of her heart she thought were beyond repair? Or will she close the door, holding onto the familiar chill, afraid to risk the burn of love she's never known?
