Clyd Nicholai Lazaro has always lived a life of order-predictable, comfortable, and safe. Thirty-three, successful, and quietly content, he never imagined that one person could turn his carefully structured world upside down.
Aurelia "Lia" Cruz is chaos wrapped in a smile-free-spirited, untamed, and untouchable by rules or labels. She doesn't belong to anyone, yet somehow, she captures everything Clyd didn't know he was missing.
When their paths cross, the connection is instant-but complicated. Between them, there are no promises, no labels, no guarantees. Just moments that feel electric, magnetic, and dangerously addictive.
As desire and emotion grow, Clyd and Lia navigate the thin line between friendship and something more-testing boundaries, risking hearts, and discovering that sometimes, love doesn't need a name.
"Between Us: No Labels" is a slow-burn, contemporary romance about two people learning to surrender to feelings they can't control, in a world that insists on rules they're not willing to follow.

Ashes Between Us
In the sleepless heart of Makati, a quiet café-bookshop stands tucked away from the chaos of the city. Behind its counter is Caius Garcia, a man of few words whose stillness feels like a refuge of its own. His life is simple, measured, and hidden from the rush of the world. One stormy night, Lila De Guzman steps into his café. Mischievous yet calm, kind yet guarded, she is a woman shaped by absence-neglected in her childhood, she has learned to laugh away the weight of her silence. In Caius's quiet presence, she discovers an anchor she never expected. Together, they carve out a small universe in the middle of the city-late-night coffee, conversations over old books, fleeting moments that turn ordinary days into something unforgettable. But love is never as simple as it seems. As their bond deepens, shadows from the past begin to resurface, testing the strength of what they've built. Set against the restless streets of Manila, Ashes Between Us is a tender, bittersweet love story about two souls who find each other in the most unexpected of places-and the silence that lingers long after.

In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete

Stuck Between Love and Labels
She was married into a kind and respected family - but behind closed doors, her world was cracking. Her husband saw her as a burden, someone to control rather than care for. No one noticed. Except him. The second brother-in-law. Quiet. Composed. A man who had built his life far away in London. He wasn't the type to interfere - until her pain became impossible to ignore. He watched. He understood. And then, slowly, he stepped closer. "Stuck Between Love and Labels" is a story of quiet courage, unspoken care, and a bond that blossoms where it shouldn't - not out of rebellion, but out of something real, raw, and healing.
Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

She's not waiting to be saved. She just wants to breathe. Then comes Nabil Hasan Garko, quiet, composed, and completely uninvited. He doesn't offer to fix her. He doesn't see her as broken. He simply enters, like he already belonged in the empty spaces she thought were too messy for anyone to stay. Around him, she feels seen in a way that terrifies her. She hates that he makes her feel safe. She hates how her heart trusts him without asking her permission. Because she's promised herself never to love again not when loving once nearly destroyed her. But Nabil is not what she expected. And love... this kind of love doesn't shout. It whispers. It listens. It stays.
