When Alya returns to her ancestral village, grief over her grandmother's death leads her into a world she barely understands-a world where adat (tradition) and pantang larang (taboos) are not just customs, but barriers against an unseen darkness.
There, beneath the shadow of an ancient banyan tree, she meets Darin-a man bound by a decades-old curse, neither fully human nor spirit, tethered to her family's legacy. Each pantang she unknowingly breaks draws her closer to him, entwining their fates in a delicate, dangerous dance.
Through whispered pantun, clandestine rituals, and the haunting echoes of wayang kulit, Alya must navigate the secrets of her grandmother's past. To free Darin-and herself-she must defy the Seven Pantang, confront the Bayang (village shadow), and meet him in a place where no shadow falls.
A story of forbidden love, ancestral secrets, and the haunting weight of duty, Darin is a dark Malay romance where courage, devotion, and destiny collide.

One Night With Mr. Moncuedo
NOTE: STRICTLY FOR MATURE AUDIENCES (18+). One Night With Mr. Moncuedo Dapat siya ang boss ko... hindi ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali ko. Hindi in-expect ni Maria Isabella Dimasali na isang gabing lasing ang magbabago ng lahat. Ang gusto lang niya ay makasurvive sa toxic na trabaho, iwasan ang boss niyang parang dragon, at baka makakain ng dinner bago siya mawalan ng lakas. Pero nung makita niya ang CEO niyang si Denrick Moncuedo na lasing at mahina, nagbago ang lahat. Isang halik, naging dalawa. Isang haplos, naging hindi na matigil. At ganun na lang... natagpuan niya ang sarili sa kama kasama ang boss niya. Wild. Hindi malilimutan. Mali. Pero ang pinakamasaklap? Tinawag siya ni Denrick na Denise. Ngayon, nasa isang masalimuot na web ng passion, power, at isang pangalang hindi kanya, kailangan ni Maria magdesisyon-umiwas na lang bago pa siya lumalim, o ipagsapalaran lahat para sa isang lalaki na baka hindi siya makita bilang higit pa sa isang one-night stand.Complete

Broken Bloom
Some loves are forbidden not by society-but by the ghosts we carry within. Shaina Suyesh was never meant to be here-not in Darjeeling, not in this borrowed life, not holding a title she never asked for. But fate doesn't wait for permission. Torn away from her dreams and the warmth of her grandmother's home in Kumaon, Shaina arrives in the mist-draped hill town, carrying more than just packed bags-she carries guilt, grief, and a heart that's learning how to be lonely. She was prepared for solitude. She wasn't prepared for Madhav. Mysterious, unattainable, and tangled in the very threads of the life she's trying to survive-his presence both soothes and complicates everything. With every fleeting moment, every shared silence, and every accidental touch, she finds herself pulled toward a love that feels as forbidden as it is fated. But in a world built on secrets, where even rain seems to remember the past... how do you hold on to something that was never meant to be yours? A story about longing, memory, and the ache of falling for someone you can't have-set in the quiet chaos of Darjeeling's rain-kissed corners.
