Klarisse De Guzman, a self-made singer hailed as the Philippines' Soul Diva, stands at the peak of her fame while quietly carrying the weight of parenting her siblings--her chaotic yet fiercely loyal Pamilya De Guzman. Orphaned young, Klarisse became their legal guardian at just 18, embracing the role not out of obligation, but out of love. Despite adoration from millions, she battles private insecurities and has never experienced romantic love.
Brent Manalo, the arrogant heir to the company in which Klarisse works at, is forced to become her bodyguard after reckless behavior abroad. Dismissive of her relevance and fame, he sees her as an artist on the brink of fading, given her age--until her resilience, warmth, and home-grown family begin to challenge everything he thought he knew.
Klarisse's longtime stylist and confidant, Trina Rey, is openly bisexual, emotionally intuitive, and deeply loyal. She's Klarisse's quiet constant--always present, always gentle--but never crossing the line. Though proud of her identity, Trina still navigates a world that defaults to heterosexual expectations. She hides her feelings behind soft gestures and subtle hints, convinced that Klarisse, who has never been in a relationship and speaks of love in traditionally straight terms, wouldn't see her that way. Her love is patient, protective, and quietly aching, shaped by respect, fear of rejection, and the silent weight of heteronormativity.
As Brent and Trina hover closer, a quiet rivalry brews: one bold and impulsive, the other soft and unwavering. Klarisse, oblivious to both, finds herself torn between passion, comfort, and the terrifying possibility that love has been reaching for her all along.

Where Mercy Sleeps
Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.Complete
