The Muse of Manila

(Pearl Palace Series #3) [18+]

Lilibeth Rivera lives by discipline. She runs her life the way she runs everything else - sharp, orderly, and without room for error. A master's candidate and a nationally ranked tennis player, she moves through campus with quiet authority. People listen when she speaks. They follow her lead even when she does not ask them to.

Her closest friend, Mayumi Ledesma, is nothing like her. An orphan with no family name, she shines without effort. The piano seems to breathe through her. Her near-perfect test scores are a streak of effortless genius.

Where Beth controls, Mayumi flows. Their friendship works because it balances them both.

But balance breaks easily.

Mayumi was the childhood love of Prince Marco Antonio, the youngest royal in the kingdom. Their story is quiet, complicated, and unfinished.

Beth knows she should keep her distance. Yet when fate begins to pull her toward him, she starts to wonder if perfection was ever meant to last.
