"Some protocols are built to protect systems. Mine was built to protect you."
Five years ago, Callie Sandoval walked away from Galileo "Galo" Villareal without a word, leaving behind a trail of heartbreak and bitter silence.
Now, PBI's Task Force Firewall brings them face-to-face on a high-stakes mission to dismantle a deadly cyber-syndicate. Callie is the team's sweet, hardworking forensic accountant; Galo is the cold, battle-hardened combat specialist who refuses to forgive or forget.
Determined to keep her distance, Galo treats Callie like a liability who doesn't belong in a world of gunfire and digital warfare. But as the syndicate closes in and secrets begin to surface, Galo realizes there is far more to Callie's past than she ever imagined.
When the firewalls come down, will the truth bring them back together-or destroy them for good?
"You think you know why I walked away, Galo... but you don't know the half of it."

The Case of Miss Kim (COMPLETED)
When sharp-minded lawyer Lisa Manoban accepts a meeting at the Kim estate, she expects a routine legal consultation - not a seat at a matchmaking luncheon.

Jennie, tired of shallow affections and people chasing her fortune, has been pretending to be wheelchair-bound to expose those with insincere intentions.

What begins as a misunderstanding soon becomes something far more complicated. Between corporate secrets, family expectations, and a grandmother's relentless scheming, Jennie and Lisa find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither anticipated. In a world built on appearances and contracts, The Case of Miss Kim asks what happens when sincerity becomes the most binding agreement of all.Complete

MELTING THE UNTOUCHABLE (JENLISA)
In the heart of Seoul, where the skyscrapers pierce the clouds like jagged glass needles, the name Jennie Kim is spoken in hushed, reverent whispers. To the world, she is the "Untouchable"-the ruthless CEO of Kim Empire, a woman who wields power like a blade and wears her coldness as armor. She moves through the city's high-stakes boardrooms and neon-lit nightclubs with a predatory grace, seeking temporary heat in the arms of strangers to drown out the silence of a haunted past. But across the city, tucked away in a quiet corner where the scent of roasted beans and lavender lingers in the air, exists a different world. Lisa Manoban, the spirited heir to a Thai dynasty who traded her golden cage for a modest apron, runs "Life's Cafe." She is sunshine filtered through a storm-soft, approachable, yet possessing a savage wit that keeps the world at bay. One is a storm of ice; the other, a slow-burning hearth. Melting the Untouchable is the chronicle of their collision-a poetic exploration of guilt, desire, and the messy, violent process of breaking open a heart that was never meant to feel again. #jenlisa #jentop #gp #fanfictionComplete
