Three hearts. Two best friends. One girl who changed everything. Liam and Ethan have always been inseparable - brothers by choice, bound by loyalty. But everything begins to fall apart when they meet Aria, a Filipina education student who becomes their English tutor in Pennsylvania. She isn't their type. She isn't part of their world. Yet there's something about her warmth, her quiet strength, and the way she says "gwapo" with a laugh that makes both of them fall in love. Caught between friendship and desire, they struggle to hide their feelings - until love turns into jealousy, and loyalty turns into silence. When fate tears them apart, they learn that love isn't about who gets to stay - it's about who you're willing to lose. Because sometimes, the same heart can't beat for two people forever. π

For the booksmart yet naΓ―ve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... β¨β¨β¨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel.

Caught In The Tides
Infanta Series #1 Aurelia Syra Montiel is the kind of girl who always wins. As the only daughter of a well-respected family, she's smart, confident, and has spent her life surrounded by love, stability, and success. Her future is set, her goals clear-and at the top of that list was becoming President of the prestigious SSC. But then came Leonardo Cauis Castillejos. Calm, composed, and annoyingly hard to read, Cauis won the presidency in a close vote-beating her. And that loss, for someone like Aurelia, cuts deeper than she'd like to admit. What should've been a simple school rivalry turns personal. Especially when she finds out that Cauis is still hopelessly hung up on his ex. So, Aurelia does what she does best-she strikes back. With sharp words and playful jabs, she teases him about his broken heart, pushing buttons just to see him flinch. It's no longer about the position. It's about making Cauis feel the sting of losing, too. But what begins as a petty form of revenge slowly unravels into something unexpected. Behind his aloof exterior and quiet sadness, Aurelia sees a different side of Cauis-one that makes her question everything she thought she knew about him... and herself. And just as she begins to fall, she realizes the cruel irony: she's falling for someone who might still be in love with someone else.Complete

a sun that never sets
After one year at Bridewater College, Honoria Song likes to consider herself a veteran. She still has the same goals, but she's grown up a lot in the past year. Through thick and thin, though, she's made it, and this year was only going to be worse. The year for relaxation is over. In a matter of months she'd have her JCMs, and she'd be a liar if she said she wasn't terrified. But either way, she knew what she had to do. She couldn't stress herself out like she did last year. She couldn't fuck up again, or she'd be out of chances. Which is why she agreed to a tutoring deal with her (maybe) worst enemy Theodore Yu, despite his best friend Sebastian Hong still holding a grudge against her. But that's not the only thing going on. Between her best friend Yunji's attempts to raise her own confidence and move on from a longtime crush; Adelina, James and his new girlfriend's not-really-love-triangle love triangle; not to mention Nadia Sorren's sudden increasing friendliness despite all the hostility last year, it's a lot of things to deal with on the year one with the most important exams of your life. But it would all work out in the end. Honoria was sure of it. With exams, the Duelling Club, and friendship drama happening all at once, what wasn't to love at Bridewater College? completed. book 2 of the bridewater college duology [90,000 - 100,000 words]Complete
