Despite this, her life is not rainbows and happiness. How could it with all the secrets in her family, her hauntingly dark past, and having lost the one person that meant the world to her.

Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?

Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

Dying Embers

75 parts Ongoing

Once, their love burned like wildfire-passionate, unstoppable, consuming. Pero tulad ng lahat ng apoy, unti-unti itong humina... hanggang sa naiwan na lang ang abo at mga nagbabagang alaala. Years later, fate throws them back into each other's worlds. Biglang nagising ang mga damdaming matagal nang tinatago-kasama ang mga tanong na matagal nang walang sagot. Maaari pa bang muling sindihan ang apoy na matagal nang namatay? O kailangan na nilang tanggapin na may mga pagmamahal na hanggang alaala na lang?
