Some wounds never bleed - they simply forget how to heal.
Dr. Piolo Pascua has spent years inside bright, sterile rooms, where lives are measured by heartbeats and machines. He knows how to keep people alive - yet somewhere along the way, he forgot how to live himself.
A quiet escape to Boracay was never part of the plan - until he crosses paths with Regina Velasquez, the woman who once filled his college days with laughter and song. She's as radiant as he remembers, though softer now, as if life had taught her a gentler kind of rhythm.
Five days. That's all she asks for - to breathe, to rest, to remember.
In those borrowed days, two hearts once separated by choices learn to move in the same tempo again. Between salt and sunlight, Piolo rediscovers the beauty of being human - and the cost that comes with remembering what love truly feels like.
A story of reconnection, healing, and the quiet miracles found in moments we almost let pass. Because some hearts don't need forever - just the right timing to beat again.

How the Heart Learns
Dr. Luna Mendoza has built her life around discipline and precision. At twenty-five, she's a third-year medical student who believes that control is the only way to survive the chaos of medicine - and heartbreak. Love, she decided long ago, has no place in the hospital. Then comes Dr. Liam Cruz - twenty-seven, witty, compassionate, and quietly exhausted beneath his humor. He's the kind of doctor who remembers everyone's coffee order but forgets his own lunch, whose empathy runs deeper than the exhaustion written on his face. From the moment Luna joins his team at St. Matthew's Hospital, their worlds collide - her order against his instinct, her walls against his warmth. But hospitals have a way of breaking people open. Between late-night duties, unspoken confessions, and the fragile space between care and connection, Luna and Liam find themselves learning lessons that no textbook could teach - about loss, forgiveness, and the courage to feel again. How the Heart Learns is a slow-burn medical romance about two healers discovering that love, like medicine, demands vulnerability, patience, and faith - and that sometimes, the hardest diagnosis to face is one's own heart.Complete

BOOK 2 What started as a Sudden Attraction... became something Soulbound. But some bonds come with unexpected twists. ----‐------------------------------------ "You done?" Marcus asked, arms crossed as he leaned against the wall. Calm. Unbothered. Andre was pacing the room, one hand running down his face, the other unconsciously resting over his stomach. His fingers pressed in slightly, like he was trying to ground himself. "You don't get it, Marcus. You shouldn't be here. I destroy everything I touch." Marcus sighed and pushed off the wall. He stepped forward, closing the space between them, and cupped Andre's jaw, forcing him to look up. "You done?" he repeated. Andre swallowed hard. "Marcus-" "Nah." Marcus's voice was firm, steady. "You're gonna stand here and tell me all the reasons I should leave. And when you're done, I'm gonna tell you why I'm never going anywhere." Andre stared at him, lips parting, searching for something to say-but nothing came. Marcus smirked, tilting his head. "Now c'mere, lemme rub on you."
