At first, akala ni Callen Moore, natutuwa lang siya sa dalagang si Asia Jade Del Franco dahil sa lantarang pagpapahiwatig nang nararamdaman nito sa kaibigang si Astin. Hindi pala. Nasasaktan pala siya dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. At nasasaktan na siya sa paulit-ulit na pag-reject ni Astin dito. How he wish na sa kanya na lang nito ibaling ang pag-ibig nito. Dahil sa kabiguan kay Astin, ibinaling ni Asia ang tingin niya sa iniidolong author, kay Ismael. Napag-alaman niyang maliban sa magaling na manunulat, isa itong adonis. Wala siyang pinapalipas na libro nito sa merkado. Kaya mula sa pagkagusto, nauwi iyon sa obsession na makita ito. Ni hindi na nga niya pinapansin ang pagpapahaging sa kanya ni Callen tungkol sa nararamdaman nito, kahit na lagi itong sumusulpot sa tuwing kailangan niya nang karamay. At kung kailan naman nakukuha na ni Callen ang atensyon ni Asia, saka naman na nagpakita si Ismael sa kanya. Tunay nga ang bali-balitang isa itong adonis. Kaya binalewala niya nang tuluyan ang umuusbong na pagkagusto kay Callen. Pero hindi akalain ni Asia na may tinatagong lihim si Ismael. Ano kaya ang gagawin niya oras na matuklasan iyon? Mabibigo na naman ba siya sa pag-ibig?

"You look tired and lazy. I think you're suffering from lack of vitamin me?" ~X~ Three words are enough to describe the playboy billionaire Alexis 'X' Montemayor who owns the very successful Club inside and outside the country. Hot. Dangerous. And oozing with sex appeal. He believed that he would never find the right woman for him despite having a random geisha in his very own Club-V. Not until a woman named Minzireth Paje entered his room and asked him if she is hired or not in the middle of what he called 'play time'. Lured by her sexy smile; piercing golden brown eyes; and voluptuous body, he hired her as his sex-retary. ***** Minzireth Paje is not your typical woman. Nagtungo sa siyudad upang maghanap ng trabahong makapag-aahon sa kanila sa kahirapan at matustusan ang gamutan ng kanyang magulang na may sakit. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat ng matanggap siya bilang sekretarya ng nagmamay-ari ng isa sa pinakasikat na Club sa Pilipinas. Buong akala niya'y more on paper works; answering calls; at tamang tayo lang sa gilid ng conference room ang kanyang gagawin. Not until her playboy boss, Alexis Montemayor demands her to do her assigned job. And that was to spice his night as his sex-retary. What if she found out what was her playboy boss's dark secret? Would she be able to fulfill her duty? Or resigned, and accept the fact that she is not qualified enough to be one of his sex-retary?

Brianna Eleanor Garcia, also known as Brii, is not your typical dalagang Pilipina-an independent and strong willed woman who knows how to handle herself. Upon working at the club made exclusively for the billionaires, she met this oblivious man who made his way to Brianna by simply annoying her to simply catch her attention. The man, Prince Dave El-Greco, a hot but arrogant and manipulative bachelor, by all means, wanted to play games with Brianna. He knows that the very first time he laid his eyes on her, he wanted her so badly to the extent of him buying her from the club's bachelorette auction. But then because of Brianna's nature of work, the woman knows how to flip and when to play the El-Greco's card. Eventually, she found out that even if she has a skill in playing man's heart, Prince Dave is irresistibly tough and hard tho, especially when her feelings are now on the line. Will she have the courage to stop it before her heart turns back at her whenever this El-Greco meddles her way of thinking and perception? or will she stand and live to her words by continuing this game that she's already in?

Tashi, a quiet and smart lady, needed money for her school expenses. Wala siyang ibang makapitan kaya naman kinailangan niyang kumapit na lang sa patalim.
