Dapat nagdahan-dahan ako kung alam ko lang na magugulat siya. Hindi sana ako nabasa nang mabuga niya ang drink niya. “Magsex tayo.” __________ Pagkatapos na ipamukha ng fiance kung gaano siya kainutil dahil walang experience sa sex, lumapit si Luntian sa isang tinatawag nilang "untouchable stripper" na si Reyna para turuan siya nito sa larangan ng sex. Sa gitna ng maiinit nilang lessons, mapipigil ba nila ang damdamin na hindi mahulog? Mapapanindigan ba ang kasunduang walang mahuhulog? Paano kung may epal pang ex-fiance na gustong bumalik? At paano kung aksidenteng nabutas ang condom?!

When Lionel Tyson defaults on a gambling debt and offers his most prized possession as collateral, Austin Hawthorne is underwhelmed. But in desperate need of a housekeeper and permanent child minder, he knows he’d be an idiot to look a gift horse in the mouth. So, against his better judgement, he accepts an offer he should absolutely refuse.

When I woke up, I had somehow become trapped in the body of my disobedient daughter. I had sacrificed everything, living frugally to send her to the best school. Yet, she called me almost daily, claiming—like someone trapped in a paranoid delusion—that her teachers and classmates were out to harm her. She was willful and rebellious, picky about food, befriending the wrong crowd, and even dating a troublemaker at a young age. As a sister, she was far from kind, constantly bullying her younger brother. And school? Surely, it couldn’t be harder than working a full-time job. But then, as I lived in her shoes, a group of girls cornered me in the restroom, kicking me mercilessly. Returning home, I was met not with care but with a sorry excuse for a meal. Only then did I begin to understand the pain my daughter had endured...
