Lust is the fire that carries us into conquering the heat of heaven and hell. --- Tainted #2

[BXB - MATURE CONTENT] In an desperate attempt to escape his arranged marriage, Ainsley finally dropped the bomb on his family: he confessed that he is gay and has no intention of going through with the wedding. To make his claim undeniable and prove he was serious, he knew he needed a partner to show them. That's when he found the perfect person to play the role of his fake boyfriend-Adamson Grimaldi.

Alazne Raven Kailani Astor Walton - born into the powerful union of the Astor and Walton families - was destined for a life shaped by privilege, control, and expectation. But burdened by secrets and suffocating traditions, she fled from the identity imposed upon her, reinventing herself in the Philippines as Arkie Hernandez. Now twenty-two, she lives as an Architectural Engineering student: quiet, sharp, and seemingly unbothered - hiding behind the persona of a cold, mysterious nerd. What no one knows is that she is intersex, a truth she guards as fiercely as her royal lineage and immense wealth. But fate has other plans. Drawn into the orbit of five extraordinary women - Professors Alexandria, Kaisha, Jamie, Lara, and Sophia - Arkie finds herself entangled in emotions she was never meant to feel. Each woman is brilliant, beautiful, and commanding in her own right, yet each sees something in Arkie that others overlook. As boundaries blur and hearts begin to collide, what starts as quiet attraction slowly blossoms into something deeper - something forbidden by society, by tradition, and by the lives they already lead. She wasn't supposed to love them. She certainly wasn't supposed to be loved by all five. But some desires are too powerful to ignore, and some connections feel written in the stars. In a world that demands she choose, Arkie must navigate the complexities of identity, love, and freedom - daring to claim a happiness that defies every rule. Five Hearts, One Forbidden Love is a story of passion, courage, and the freedom to love without limits.

Si Aevia Zielle ay bagong transfer student sa unibersidad, puno ng pangarap at pag-asa sa kanyang pag-aaral. Sa kanyang unang araw, nakilala niya si Professor Zayne, ang kanyang mahigpit at misteryosong propesor. Hindi alam ni Aevia na malapit nang magbago ang kanyang buhay-ipapakasal siya sa isang lalaki, ngunit hindi niya alam na ang lalaking iyon ay ang kanyang propesor mismo. Wala silang pagmamahalan ni Zayne para sa kanila, ang kasal ay isang obligasyon, at ang isa't isa ay isang estranghero lamang sa simula. Habang papalapit ang araw ng kasal, unti-unti nilang matutuklasan ang mga lihim, pagkakaiba, at tensyon sa pagitan nila. Paano haharapin ni Aevia ang katotohanan na ang taong ipapakasal niya ay ang propesor niyang palaging mahigpit sa kanya? At paano nila makakayanan ang kasal na puno ng lihim at hindi pagkakaunawaan?

Si Luna Evangeline DeLacroix, ay isang simpleng babae na baon sa utang at desperadong maghanap ng paraan upang mailigtas ang kanyang pamilya na nabaon sa utang. Isa siyang magaling na mananayaw ngunit hindi siya sikat, iilan lamang ang nakaka kilala sa kanya bilang isang magaling na mananayaw. Sa gitna ng kanyang kawalan ng pag-asa, dumating ang isang alok mula sa isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahang magiging bahagi ng kanyang buhay-isang bilyonaryong aktor at mang-aawit na laging nasa ilalim ng Isang kontrata. Isang pangalan sa kanyang tabi. Isang buhay sa harap ng mga camera. Ngunit paano kung ang mundong pinasok niya para sa pera ay maging kulungan ng kanyang puso? Paano kung ang pekeng pagmamahal na itinanghal sa harap ng publiko ay maging totoo sa likod ng mga ilaw? At paano kung ang spotlight na minsang kinatakutan niya ang siya ring maging dahilan ng pinakamalaking sakit sa kanyang buhay? Sa isang mundong puno ng kasikatan, tsismis, at kapangyarihan ng pera- hanggang saan niya kayang isakripisyo ang sarili para sa mga taong mahal niya? At kapag dumating ang panahong kailangan niyang pumili........ pera ba o pagmamahal? kalayaan ba o ang lalaking nasa ilalim ng spotlight? She was tempted not by love... but by the price he offered for her freedom. By: shadowynwp
