Two young and rising tennis players from different countries. Both with huge followings who seem to be on their path to be the next faces of the sport.
Isla Gabrielle Santiago, twenty-two, representing The Philippines. The country's pride after becoming the first Filipina in decades to reach the World's Top 20, and win her maiden title. She is the nation's sweetheart. Who can resist when she is down to earth, genuine, sweet, and always smiling on interviews and to fans?
Then there's Cameron Joaquin Anderson, twenty-three, Spanish-British descent representing Great Britain. World #12 and the top male player of his country. He is talented yet arrogant, but he is still an athlete that sponsors love because of his charisma.
Until they didn't.
Isla and Cameron have nothing in common. Well, maybe, except tennis... and that they are under the same agency, Activ Sports Management. They are not friends. They secretly don't even like how fans associate them to one another.
But neither of them knew that because of one damage control solution of their agency, the entire tennis world would be shaken by their unexpected on-court partnership. Or maybe even off-court?

The Oleander (Eulogy of Us Series #4)
'Madaling magsalita at mag-desisyon dahil wala ka sa sitwasyon' but Vivienne says otherwise. For her, being in a relationship shouldn't remove someone's rationality, hindi normal maging tanga sa pag-ibig. It shouldn't make you size down just to fit into the relationship. It shouldn't make you question your worth at higit sa lahat, dapat marunong kang magpalaya. But what if love doesn't arrive in a way that's logical? What if it comes unexpectedly, slowly blurring your boundaries until you don't even notice you're already compromising pieces of yourself? What if you wake up one day and realize you've been patient for too long, understanding for too much, forgiving for things you swore you never would? What if it became a poison that lingers in your veins, tempting you with its beauty even as it slowly destroys you? What if loving someone makes you brave...but also a little foolish and selfish? Because it's easy to say you'll never beg for bare minimum. It's easy to promise you'll walk away at the first red flag. It's easy to believe you'll choose yourself every single time. Until it's you, until it's their voice that softens your anger, until it's their hands that feel like home...until walking away starts to feel like you're turning your back on everything you once struggled to hold together. So what if the hardest part isn't loving but learning you have to let go?

Threads of Oxytocin (White Coat Series 1)
[Unedited] WCS 1: Threads of Oxytocin Minsan, may mga bagay na hindi mo kayang ipaliwanag. May mga pagkakataon na kahit anong pilit mong kontrolin, hindi mo pa rin matitimbang ang mga nangyayari. May mga koneksyon sa buhay natin na hindi mo alam kung paano nagsimula. Pero isang araw, mapapansin mo na lang na tila nakatakda talaga ang lahat. Para bang ang bawat hibla ng sinulid ng tadhana ay humuhubog ng isang kwento. Isang kwento ng pag-ibig, sakit, at pagkakaibigan. Just like oxytocin, the hormone responsible for love, bonding, and trust. There are connections you can't explain, bonds that tie you to someone when you least expect it. It's the invisible thread that pulls you closer, even when you're fighting against it. In the bustling halls of Eastbridge School of Medicine, two paths would cross. And, in the midst of sleepless nights, high stakes, and endless pressure, would they discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and maybe... even love? With every connection comes a challenge, and their threads would be tested in ways neither of them had imagined. As their lives intertwine, one question remains: Would their threads still hold together?Complete

Silence After Your Voice (Aloha Haven Series 2) ᶜᵒᵐᵖˡᵉᵗᵉᵈ
Malaiah, the woman of hope. She was too young when her father walked away, and too unprepared when her mother was taken from her. Somewhere between those two losses, she became someone who learned to live without being held, carrying a life she never chose, and memories that were never given the chance to exist. Sa murang edad, natuto siyang tumayo sa sarili niyang mga paa, pilit binubuo ang isang buhay na kahit kailan ay hindi naging madali. Aiah learned early how to disappear in plain sight. It became instinct, whenever she felt her presence grew too heavy, too complicated, too much to carry, she would quietly step back. Distance became her language of self-preservation, a way to keep others safe from the emotional chaos she had long learned to endure alone. But Tibo Alexandre didn't respond the way she expected people to. He didn't flinch at her silence, nor did he take her withdrawal as a final answer. Will Aiah stay where silence keeps her safe, or will Tibo become the sound that lingers long enough to break what she never thought could be heard again?Complete
