"Di ko siya jowa. Di ko siya crush. And yet, I let him do things to my body." Sabi nila, ang pinaka-masakit na heartbreak ay hindi ‘yung iniwan ka—kundi ‘yung never ka namang pinili in the first place. Nakatayo siya sa dulo ng reception hall, hawak ang baso ng alak habang pinapanood ang lalaking minahal niya ng matagal… na masayang ikinakasal sa iba. Kitang-kita niya kung paano nito tinititigan ang babae—isang titig na kailanman ay hindi niya natanggap. Masakit. Pero imbes na magmukmok, Cass did what any heartbroken girl would do—nagpakalunod sa alak. Kung hindi na siya ang pipiliin, edi dapat kalimutan na lang, diba? Kahit isang gabi lang. At dahil lasing na lasing siya, she made a reckless decision—she had s*x with a stranger. No names, no backstories. Isang taong hindi niya kilala. Pero paggising niya kinabukasan, mas matindi pa sa hangover ang sumalubong sa kanya. Ang lalaking nakasama niya sa kama? Hindi lang basta kung sino lang— Anak ng teteng! He’s the cousin of the man she had loved for years. Napatayo siya agad, hinatak ang kumot sa katawan, pero ngumisi lang ito. "Easy ka lang," he chuckled. "Last night, you were like a needy cat—clinging, pressing against me. Ngayon, parang gusto mo akong itulak sa bangin.” Nanlamig siya sa kahihiyan. Pero mas lalo siyang natulala sa sunod nitong sinabi— "Kung gusto mong kalimutan siya, I can help you. Pero hindi lang isang gabi. Hanggang sa hindi mo na maalala ang pangalan niya." Tatanggapin ba niya ang alok nito? O lalabanan ang tukso ng matamis na kasalanan?

WARNING: Contains explicit scenes, intense heat, and a hero who plays dirty. Proceed with caution. SYNOPSIS Si Ava Dominique ay dalubhasa sa pagtakbo. Iniiwasan niya si Zion Alexander—ang pogi, madiskarte, pero "unfiltered" na businessman—dahil sa isang malaking pagkakamali: Akala niya, si Zion ang boyfriend ng kanyang kambal na si Aria. Habang todo-kayod si Ava para suportahan ang palamunin at cheater niyang boyfriend, si Zion naman ay may ibang plano. He’s the twin who didn’t go to Harvard but built an empire through pure grit—and he’s been eyeing Ava since day one. Nang mahuli ni Ava ang boyfriend niya na may kargang iba, doon nagtapos ang pagiging "good girl" niya. In a moment of pure heartbreak, she crashes into the arms of the one man she thought was off-limits. "Z-Zion... stop! My sister... your brother..." Ava panted, her back pressed against the cold office door. Zion chuckled, a dark sound that made Ava’s knees melt. He trapped her with his massive arms, smelling of expensive bourbon and raw power. "My brother is a saint, Ava. But me? I like getting my hands dirty," Zion whispered, nipping her earlobe. "And for the record... Zane is at dinner with your sister right now. So, who are you moaning for?" Ava’s eyes widened. Maling kambal. Pero nang maramdaman niya ang kamay ni Zion na humahaplos sa kanyang hita, nawalan na siya ng lakas tumakbo. "You're... not Zane?" she gasped. "God, no." Zion smirked, his eyes burning with hunger. "I’m the twin who’s about to make you forget your own name." He claimed her lips in a kiss so wild, it tasted like a beautiful, forbidden sin. At doon nalaman ni Ava—ang "maling akala" pala ang pinakamasarap na pagkakamali sa buhay niya.

Dahil sa paniniwalang mahahanap mo ang totoong taong magmamahal sa ‘yo kapag walang-wala ka, tinago ni Koa Haile Montinola ang katotohanang isa siyang heiress ng isang mayamang pamilya mula kay Conrad, ang kanyang kasintahan. Ngunit matapos niyang isakripisyo ang lahat para rito, ang tanging natanggap niyang sukli ay pagtataksil at ang pagnanakaw nito sa perang inipon niya para sa kanilang nalalapit na kasal para sa first love nito. Ang mas masakit pa, may anak ang mga ito. At ang masaksihan ang “happy family” ng taong sumira sa kanyang tiwala, walang pagdadalawang-isip siyang umalis. Bumalik siya sa kanyang pamilya at sumang-ayon sa arrange marriage na nakahanda para sa kanya. Meleck Hudson Miller, isang notoriously cold businessman na balitang may secret lover. Kahit na ayaw manira ni Haile ng relasyon, kung gusto niyang matanggap ulit ng pamilyang tinalikuran niya noon, wala siyang ibang magawa kundi ang makipag-deal sa binata. To take revenge of her ex-fiancé and to win her family’s trust back. But what if he’s too cold and heartless…and possessive at the same time? Tamang desisyon kaya ang makipag-deal dito? - Diniin siya nito sa likod ng nakasarang pinto. His thumb brushing against her lower lip. “A deal is a deal. And I hate sharing what’s mine.” “Hudson…” “You’re mine. No one’s going to touch you but me. Not even your hands, did you get me?” Parang may bumara sa kanyang lalamunan. Is this still a part of their loveless deal?
