Velvet Chains

A celebrated cosmetic surgeon from the 21st century wakes up in the heart of 18th-century Philippines-an era where women are silenced and medicine is ruled by men. Struggling to hide her modern identity, she catches the attention of a powerful yet conflicted mestizo, the son of an Alkalde, whose Spanish blood gives him privilege but whose Filipino roots bind him to a land yearning for freedom. As forbidden desire sparks between them, they are drawn into a whirlwind of secrets, betrayals, and impossible choices. In a world where love could cost her life, will she find her place in his arms-or fight her way back to the time she once called home?
