Nakakasawa na--" napahinto ako sa pagsasalita ng may lalaking pumasok sa kwarto ko. "Sino siya?" "Vee meet your new bodyguard, James Villianuevva." "Ito? New bodyguard ko? Seryoso ka dad?" "Yes, and I am sure magugustuhan mo siya. Magkakasundo kayo sa mga bagay-bagay, lalo na kung mag sho-shopping ka at pagdating sa mga makeup--" "Babae lang ang mahilig mag shopping at mag makeup dad." Saad ko at napatampal sa noo ko. "I'm gay." Muntik ng malaglag iyong panga ko sa sinabi niya.

"Hypersexuality is not a good thing. It was a need that I had to fill." -Gabe Howard BLURB Bata pa lamang si Dhalia Uson ay nakaranas na ito ng iba't ibang pang-aabuso sa mga kalalakihan. Hanggang sa magdalaga ito'y dala-dala nito ang mapait na karanasan. Ginamit niya ang ganda ng mukha at kakaibang alindog na sadiyang bumabaliw sa mga lalaking naiuugnay sa kaniya.

It all seemed like a naughty prank at first. You know, the 'disappearing' trick lovers usually pull on each other to see who misses the other most? Yes, that was what Katniss thought at first until months passed and still, Noah was absolutely no where to be found.... Witty, beautiful and bubbly. Just a few adjectives to describe Katniss Costello's interesting and charming character. A young lady who had it all; from affluent parents to wealth and popularity to a quite amazing love life she shared with Noah Rogers, her then soon to be husband. Her life seemed to have come to a shattering halt after reality dawned on her that Noah might never return. She barely talked. Barely smiled. Barely went out, always bed ridden, gloomy and depressed. Void of all emotions. Indeed the shadow of her previous self. Her parents took advantage of the absence of her fiance and deemed it fit to have her married off to a proud, rich and arrogant son of their friend. She strongly opposed to the arranged marriage for few wisps of hope that he might return still laid in her heart. It was the motivation and inspiration she had to wait for him and when he does return, she'd still be here...waiting. When the pressure from her parents was getting too tough and unbearable, she wanted to get rid of it all, get rid of the emotional pain, get rid of the weight that was becoming far to heavy to carry. All she wanted was freedom, but there was only one way to do that... That night, underneath the Blue Moon, standing on the deck above the Ballad River where she wanted to end it all, there she met Asher Holden and that was the onset of her rollercoaster love life.

BOOK 1: Seducing The Gay CEO BOOK 2: Akitin Ang Fiance Kong Tomboy We already witnessed the cute roller coaster love story of Zachary Villanueva and Gillian Guzman in SEDUCING THE GAY CEO. Pinatawa, pinasaya, at pinaiyak tayo ng STGC, finally the wait is over, mga ka STGC readers, let’s all welcome the story of their son, Earl Zach Villanueva. Earl Zach was now ready to make us feel the butterflies in our stomachs and set the standard. Earl Zach Villanueva, a.k.a. Zacky, is the eldest son of Zachary Villanueva. He gets almost everything he wants in life. At his young age, his father already trusted him with the whole company, but there was a private property island that he wanted to get, but he couldn't get it because it was owned by his dad's friend. So when his father's friend asked for help to let his daughter be engaged with him, he immediately agreed. Zacky doesn't believe in love, so it's not up to him to marry anyone. He has never seen his daughter because she grew up in the province, but the desire to get that island pushed him to do that. Arranging a marriage with that girl is easy, but he is so shocked and challenged at the same time when he hears something about that girl. The person who will be engaging with him is a tomboy. "Seduce her and make her a straight woman, and if you do that, the island you want from Palawan will be yours." Those are the words that his father's friend said to him. Makakaya kaya ni Zacky na gawing tunay na babae ang mapapangasawa niya na isang pusong lalake?

Isa sa mga tagapagmana ng pamilya Kingsley si Luther Rutherford, ang pinakamayamang pamilya sa buong Pilipinas. Ngunit sa edad na labingpitong taong gulang, napagpasyahan niyang talikuran ang kanyang pamilya dahil sa kagustuhan niyang magrebelde. Namuhay siya bilang isang ordinaryo sa loob ng maraming taon, kumpletong kasalungat ng pamumuhay na mayroon siya noong nasa puder pa siya ng pamilya Kingsley. Natutunan niyang mangalakal, mamalimos, tumira sa ilalim ng tulay, makipagbasag-ulo sa lansangan, pero ang pinakaimportante sa lahat ay ang tumayo sa sariling mga paa nang sarili lang ang inaasahan. Isang dekada ang lumipas. Isang araw, nakulong siya dahil sa kasong physical assault. Ngunit makaraan lang ang isang linggo, isang ubod na gandang babae ang bumisita sa kanya sa kulungan at piniyansahan siya nito. Wala siyang kaide-ideya kung sino ang babae at kung bakit nito ginawa iyon. Pero nabigla siya sa naging sagot nito nang tanungin niya ito, "Gusto kong magpanggap ka bilang kasintahan ko, kapalit ng kalayaan nating dalawa. It's a win-win, right?" Doon nag-uumpisa ang panibagong buhay ni Luther, bilang isang good-for-nothing boyfriend. Pero ang hindi nila alam, sa likod ng kanyang ordinaryong kaanyuan, ay ang mga katangiang ikagugulat at ikakaawang ng bibig nilang lahat.

Sa unang araw ko ng trabaho, isa sa mga bago kong katrabaho ang nagpapakita sa amin ng mga senyales na siya ang anak ng chairman. Sumipsip at pinuri siya ng lahat nang marinig nila iyon. At hindi pa rito nagtatapos ang lahat—dahil pinalabas din nila na isa akong sugar baby ng isang mayamang matanda! Galit akong tumawag sa chairman. “Tinawag ka nilang matanda na may sugar baby, Dad!”

Ei-An had chosen to live in seclusion sa isang liblib na lugar na pag-aari ng kanyang namayapang mga magulang. Being the writer as she is, the atmosphere suits the life she wants - tahimik, relaxing at cozy, and of course, being one with nature... Ngunit nasira ang pananahimik ni Ei-an nang biglang maligaw sa kanyang munting paraiso ang isang hari - hari ng kayabangan at kaarogantehan! Ang hindi lang niya inasahan ay nang mawindang ang kanyang puso, dahil ang isang King Pierce Kevin Santillan ay hari din ng kaguwapuhan at kakisigan! There's a small voice telling her that she could trust him. Hanggang sa namalatan na lamang ni Ei-An, si King na pala ang "hari ng kanyang puso"... Sa paglalakbay ni King sa mga bundok ng Pilipinas, nakilala niya ang isang babaeng taga-bundok. But contrary to the typical "babaeng taga-bundok", Ei-An is the most alluring goddess in her nature paradise. King feels serene and calm whenever Ei-An is around. It's the first time na nakaramdam siya ng ganoong klaseng contentment. He wants Ei-An to be his. Nag-propose siya sa dalaga at ipinangako na babalik makalipas ang isang buwan para sa kanilang kasal. But something very unfortunate happened... Sa kanyang pagbabalik, natuklasan ni King na ang babaeng itinatangi ng kanyang puso ay kasal na sa kanyang kapatid, Prince Kevin Kiev Santillan. They're expecting a baby too! Paano pa niya ngayon makukuha ang babaeng pinakamamahal kung sa mata ng lahat ay asawa na ito ng kanyang kambal?

Serafina Vale didn’t want love anymore, she wanted war and a husband to help her start it. Her ex-fiancé slept with her stepsister and proposed to her on camera, in front of everyone. So yeah—she needed to hit back, fast and publicly. With help from her best friend, Rhea, she was supposed to meet a broke model at a diner. Sweet guy, easy to handle. Just enough to stir drama and ruin the happy couple’s fairytale. But she sat at the wrong table and accidentally proposed to the wrong man. Dorian Everhart was the opposite of harmless. He was cold, unreadable and terrifyingly rich. He absolutely had no business saying yes. But…he did. He married her the same day with no questions asked or rules attached either. She thought she was the one using him. But he didn’t seem to bulge, and now, she’s starting to wonder, who really set this up? Why does her stepsister flinch every time Dorian’s name comes up? and why does he know so much about her family? What the hell does he want from her? And worse….why does a part of her want him to take it?
