During the waning years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, the story follows Josefina Amancio, a spirited and intelligent young woman from a humble provincial town. Raised in a family of principled ilustrados who quietly resist colonial oppression, Josefina lives a life of quiet defiance and hidden dreams. But everything changes when she meets Señor Álvaro de Herrera, a reserved yet idealistic Spanish officer newly stationed in the region.

What begins as mutual curiosity deepens into a dangerous, passionate affair, one that threatens not only their reputations but also Josefina's loyalty to her people, and Álvaro's standing in the colonial order.

As whispers of revolution grow louder and lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, Josefina must decide: is love a betrayal of her country, or could it be her own form of rebellion?

It all started when Isaiah Santos uncovers a diary in the Filipiniana Library. The diary is old and most of the entries are written by Sinukuan which later on he found out that it was one of the many aliases of a known Filipino Hero - the great Andres Bonifacio. In the diary, it reveals a secret about a girl whom Andres was seeing during the time of the uprising. Some of the Katipuneros called her a fierce warrior but the mason wives during the Spanish colonial era called her the mistress of the revolution. Who is she? And what is the role that she portrayed in the war? Valeria is not an ordinary girl, she is an immortal. She belongs to a tribe that lives in an unknown Island that soon to be called Isla Filipinas. But what is she? And how did she survive all through the years? When Isaiah started his blog about Valeria, the blogosphere went into a frenzy. All historians in the country called him a fraud while others considered his theory about Valeria as fiction. Thanks to his best friend Albert who's there to support him at the same time helped him put up the site. But everything changes when Isaiah received a message from Valeria herself stating that she wanted to meet him. In a quaint ambience of Café Xocolat, a diner next to the Avenue, surrounded by customers of mostly college students, young professionals and professors, Valeria is sitting near the balcony waiting for the blogger to come - ready to tell her tale. The book is a Filipino urban fantasy, a short story about friendship and about a young man's journey as he uncovers a great secret hidden in the pages of history books.

All We Shouldn't Have

74 parts Complete Mature

Love was never meant to threaten the crown. But when hearts defy kingdoms, duty becomes the heaviest burden of all. From the author of Kissing Snow and Keeping Bloom comes a story of forbidden love, loyalty, and the cost of destiny. He's a prince. I'm nobody. The one thing we can't have? Each other. Prince Alfred of Verdalia was born with everything-wealth, power, a kingdom waiting for his crown. But he wants the one thing he was never allowed to touch: me. Maria Daniella Rodriguez. Spanish-Filipino. Stubborn. Reckless. Ordinary. The girl he kissed once in Madrid. The girl he found again when the world told him to forget. The girl he's willing to burn a kingdom for. Every kiss is treason. Every touch is a scandal. Every stolen night is another step toward losing everything. Because in a world where crowns are heavier than hearts... we're forced to choose: the love that could destroy us, or the throne that was never ours to begin with.
