"Love is an illness."
Those were the words Eliana Marie Rivera lived by.
As a scholarship student determined to escape poverty, Eli believes falling in love is the fastest way to lose sight of her dreams. She refuses to let anyone become distraction-until she meets Selene Claire Silva, the girl everyone knows with a smile that feels impossible to ignore.
What begins as constant bickering slowly turns into friendship, then into feelings neither of them dares to admit.
But as Eli begins to question everything she once believed about love, fate, and the future she's been chasing, hidden truths, growing jealousy, and impossible choices threaten to change their lives forever.
Can love and dreams truly exist together?
Or was Eli right all along-that love is the most beautiful illness of all?

What We Found In The End (GL)
[UNDER REVISION AND EDITING] For someone who fought her way to leave the house that had never felt like home, Raiya Villarmente is back in her hometown. The very same place that reminds her what kind of family she belonged to, the one that its own name speaks power and influence in more ways than one. To other people, she appeared to have it all, beauty, riches, and the constant spotlight of attention. But beneath the surface, things were far more complicated. Claudia Quillano was kind-hearted, effortlessly talented, and carried herself with the ease of someone who saw the world as full of possibility. With one act of betrayal, the future she was meant to have vanished into thin air. That girl is gone now. In her place stood a woman who built her walls-tall, heavy, and impossible to climb. Not because she wants to shut the world out, but because it's the only way she knows how to feel safe. They were never meant to trust each other-let alone care. One is clawing her way out of a life that's kept her small and silent. The other hides behind walls she swore would never come down again. When their worlds collide, it's anything but smooth. But somewhere between the arguments and the uneasy silences, something unexpected begins to grow-an alliance, a bond, maybe even something more. Just as they start to believe they might be safe with each other, the past returns-louder, darker, and more dangerous than before. And it's not coming back quietly.

"Fine," she said. "If you won't take me seriously like this, I'll go put on my mafia outfit." Sloane squinted at her. "Your what?" "My mafia outfit." Before either of them could stop her, Lila jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. ____ Three minutes later, Lila came back. And Blair nearly spat out her coffee.
