Conrad was mistaken as gay. For a brilliant young lawyer who always wins, this should have been nothing but a funny misunderstanding. Pero nang mapagkamalan siyang gay ni Astrid Saavedra, he grabbed the chance, because pretending was the only way to stay close and uncover the truth about his father's case.
But Astrid is more than just a landlord. She is broken, alone, and betrayed, left to carry debts and scars that no one else sees. Sa likod ng matapang na ngiti niya, Conrad sees the pain she is trying so hard to hide. And the more he stays, the more he realizes he is not just lying for his mission, he is lying to her heart.
What will hurt more? Telling her the truth and losing her, or keeping the lie and breaking her again? When love begins with a lie, can it ever end in something real?

What happens when two people fall in love behind lies? Xaviella never expected that one simple "hi" from her best friend would change her life forever. On a dating app where age and names can easily be faked, she met Clyde-though she only knew him as Felix, an 18-year-old law student from Ateneo. What she didn't know was that Felix also known as Clyde was also hiding the truth: he was only sixteen, a junior high student pretending to be older. Just like her, he thought she was someone else entirely-a psychology student named Samantha.

Without realizing they were already in love with each other in another world, their rivalry slowly turned into genuine feelings-until their online romance faded away. But destiny has a way of playing with hearts. Years later, as they faced the struggles of graduation, love, and family expectations, a hidden truth surfaced: Xaviella had been tied to a marriage contract since childhood. The groom? A man named Clyde-whose cover name was Felix all along. Two names, two lies, one love story. Will the truth finally bring them together-or will it tear them apart?
TWIN FLAME
"If you think I love you, you're fucking wrong." He smirked and stood up and I couldn't stop my eyes from looking over his naked body. "You might not love me, but you love how I make you feel." He grabbed my arm and pulled me up against him. "You hate me because I fuck you the way you want, and you wish it was my brother instead of me." "That's not true," I whispered. "Think about it...you were nervous but you never regretted it," he chuckled. Daniela is married to successful lawyer Liam Steele.

White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine.

Wicked Things We Crave
It all started with a tall, dark and handsome man at the bar, perfectly flirtatious and wickedly charming. But that man was not the man Astrid ended up in bed with that night. If only Astrid had a few more cocktails that night, she could have chalked it up to a drunken mistake with her over-protective best friend. It wasn't the booze, unfortunately, but the way he'd held her when they danced and the way his lips had captured hers and sent shivers down her spine. It wasn't that Astrid didn't believe in love, she'd just never felt it and kept her heart under lock and key until the right man came along she could trust. She trusted this man every single day of her life, but he was never meant to be this for her. He was never meant to explore every inch of her body or whisper words of seduction in her ear. Jonah Dawson was the last man she was allowed to fall into bed with or fall in love with. Not because he was her best friend, but because he was also her father's. And her godfather. 18+ Strong sexual content and languageComplete
In Between Lies
"What would you do if one day, you woke up and realized your whole life has been a lie? Since the day I was born, I carried something I didn't even know existed a truth so twisted it wore the face of love. I grew up surrounded by warmth, by a family that made me believe nothing could ever break me. I never thought that love could hide a truth this cruel. Pinilit kong iwasan, pigilan ang sarili sa isang bagay na buong akala ko ay mali isang bagay na iniukit sa isip ko na bawal, hindi tama, imoral. Pinaglaban ko ang sarili kong damdamin dahil naniwala ako na dapat ko itong itago, na dapat ko itong ikulong. Pero ngayon, nalaman kong lahat ng pagpipigil na 'yon, lahat ng paghihirap ko, ay walang saysay dahil pala mula sa simula, wala naman akong kailangang pigilan. But now I know. All those years of restraint, all those sleepless nights of swallowing what I felt they were all for nothing. Because the truth is, I didn't need to stop myself. I didn't need to hide. The thing I was running away from... was me. I am the lie. And the lie is me. I've been living In Between Lies-lies that I cannot escape from, lies that have shaped me, molded me into the person I am today and no matter how much I want to run, I can't. Because this isn't just a part of my story... it's the very foundation of who I've become."
