Straight Until You (GL)

"A chef who swears she's straight. A doctor with a secret. One accident, one spark-and everything changes."

Athena Raine Lopez has everything she thought she wanted. As one of the most respected executive chefs in Manila and the proud owner of La Mer, her name has become synonymous with perfection. For her, life is a kitchen-hot, chaotic, and always under her control. But when a fiery accident leaves her burned and helpless, Athena is forced to face something she has never known: vulnerability.

Enter Dr. Jillian Coleen Ramos-brilliant, compassionate, and disarmingly confident. To her patients, she is a healer. To her family, she carries a secret: she loves women, though she has never said it aloud to the world. When Athena is wheeled into her ER, Jillian doesn't expect to be captivated by the stubborn, sharp-tongued chef. Yet one night of banter and lingering glances turns into something that neither of them can ignore.

As Athena's world begins to blur between denial and desire, she discovers that Jillian isn't just stirring her curiosity-she's dismantling the walls she has spent years building. But passion doesn't come without danger. When sabotage threatens not only La Mer but their growing bond, Athena must decide: hold on to control, or surrender to a love that could consume her completely.
