ARISE SERIES #1
Shekainah Faye Ventura was never meant to fall apart--at least, not where anyone could see. Smile when needed, stay quiet, don't fall apart where anyone can see.
But some things don't stay hidden forever.
Not the pressure. Not the thoughts that won't slow down. Not the feeling of slipping, little by little, into something she can't control.
So she starts writing that she'll never say out loud--words meant for no one in particular.
Until someone starts noticing. And somehow, that's scares her most. Because it's easier to drown quietly than to be seen while breaking.
When everything rises against her, will she let herself be held, or sink and disappear beneath it?

AMBROSE SERIES #1 Chiara Heaven Vergara didn't think light could reach her. Raised in a home where affection was scarce, she believed the warmth of love was a story for others to tell, never hers to live. Then came Malakai Elion Fuentes-her best friend and complete opposite. Bright, easygoing, and raised in a family overflowing with love, Kai became the quiet warmth that slowly melted the walls around her. He never demanded she change; he simply stayed, offering gentle understanding in the ways she needed most. But opening her heart is never easy for someone who has learned to survive in the cold. As fear and self-doubt threaten to pull her back into the darkness, will Chiara finally let the light seep in... or will she close the door before the sun can seep in?

Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.Complete
