In Renaissance Venice, Lucia Bellandi must live as the young painter Luca to pursue the art she loves in a world that refuses women such a calling. When she is commissioned to paint for the house of Contarini, an unexpected bond grows between her and the son of the Savio Grande, until a forgotten sketch and a carnival mask reveal they have met before. Will their love be powerful enough to overcome social norms? Excerpt from Chapter 6: At length, abandoning the hope that memory alone would bridge the distance between them, he turned without another word and crossed to the writing desk, resolved to let the forgotten sketch speak where words had failed. But he stopped before his hand opened the drawer, a better idea already taking shape in his mind. "Then let us make a pact," he said softly. "I shall guard your secret as faithfully as I would my own honour." His eyes did not leave hers. "Only grant me this in return: remain here a little longer, and paint me-not merely until the portrait is finished, but until you remember the man who once stood before you a long time ago." Excerpt from Chapter 8: "But have I not already painted every likeness you could desire?" He stepped nearer, and Lucia feared he must surely hear the frantic beating of her heart, as though it might burst from her chest. "You are mistaken. You painted a stranger." His gaze remained upon hers. "Then perhaps you painted a friend, or merely an acquaintance. But today..." He let the words linger between them before continuing, his voice quieter now. "I ask but one last favour of you. Paint not the son of Lord Contarini, nor the gentleman you once knew only from behind a Carnival mask. Paint only the man who stands before you now-the man you can finally see."

"In court, every case has evidence. Every verdict has a reason. But what if the hardest case you'll ever face... is your own heart?" Attorney Venice Valentina Romero is one of Europe's most respected international commercial lawyers. Brilliant, composed, and feared inside the courtroom, she built a life thousands of miles away from the country that once broke her. Five years ago, she walked away from the man she thought she would spend forever with. Laurence Agustos. The medical student who became her home. The man who taught her that love could exist even between impossible dreams. And the same man who destroyed everything with just two words- "Not enough." Determined to leave the past behind, Venice disappears after passing the Philippine Bar Exam, starting over in Italy where she rebuilds her life from the ground up. She earns every title, every victory, and every ounce of respect through sacrifice, until the world knows her simply as Attorney Venice Valentina F. Romero. She thought she'd finally moved on. She was wrong. Because some people never truly leave your heart... no matter how many oceans separate you. When fate brings them face to face again in Europe, Venice discovers that success cannot erase first love, and time cannot always heal the deepest wounds. But what she doesn't know is that Laurence has spent the last five years carrying a truth that could change everything she thought she knew. In the courtroom, the law demands evidence. In love... the truth sometimes comes too late. The Case Against Loving You is a slow-burn, second-chance romance about love, sacrifice, heartbreak, and the painful reality that sometimes the greatest act of love is letting someone hate you-so they can still have the future they deserve.

"Some ghosts aren't made of curses... they are made of unexpressed love." Shrouded in torrential rain and dense fog lies Venice, the ancient city of Italy. The moment Elisa sets foot inside the towering 16th-century palazzo, Villa de Rossi, her life spirals into an unexpected nightmare. Every night at precisely 3:00 AM, the rhythmic clicking of steps echoes across the cold marble floor. Through the flickering shadows of the balcony stands a haunting figure clad in a crimson silk ballgown and a blood-red Venetian mask, clutching a razor-sharp Italian dagger. Adrian-Elisa's deeply devoted husband and a celebrated Italian sculptor-holds her close and whispers: "A restless spirit haunts this villa, my love, but I will protect you with my life." Yet as time passes, chilling warnings written in dripping red lipstick on the bathroom mirror and a mysterious vintage photograph surface, pulling the mystery deeper. • Is Elisa truly trapped in a haunted palazzo? • Or is the man promising to protect her hiding a dark, terrifying secret of his own?
