BLURB HIRAYA THE BLIND LADY “Ikaw ang gusto kong makasama habambuhay, mahal kita mula noon hanggang ngayon at mamahalin pa magpakailan man!” Hindi makapaniwala si Haya sa kanyang mga narinig, kahit sa kanyang panaginip ay hindi niya iyon inasahan.

Siya ay lumaki sa orphanage na kung saan nakilala niya ang kambal na sina Gaius at Galen, sila ay anak ng isa sa sponsor ng orphanage, na kung saan lubos na nakatulong kay Haya. Sa kabila ng kanyang kondisyon ay lumaki siyang punung-puno ng pag-asa na makita ang totoong kulay ng mundo at mahanap ang kanyang pinagmulan. Hindi naging hadlang ang kanyang kapansanan upang mamuhay ng normal at matagpuan ang lalaking magmamahal sa kanya ng tunay at tapat. Ano kaya ang gagawin ni Haya kung ang kapalit ng katuparan ng pangarap niyang makakita ay ang kanyang minamahal? Paano kaya matatanggihan ni Haya ang taong lubos na tumulong sa kanya na magkaroon ng bagong buhay mula sa isang desisyon na kailangan niyang panindigan habambuhay? Paano rin kaya niya tatanggapin ang katotohanan tungkol sa kanyang pinagmulan?

At eight months pregnant, my younger sister, Reina York, pushed me down the stairs, causing me to go into early labor.  At the hospital, I called Xavier Morales, but he answered with an impatient scoff. "What do you expect me to do about it? Stop bothering me." Xavier hated me, and he never wanted our child. Our baby girl was born, but despite the doctors doing everything they could, she did not make it. I called Xavier repeatedly, but he coldly hung up on me every time. Then, just moments later, I saw Reina's latest social media post. Xavier was there with her, smiling like he did not have a care in the world. He had completely abandoned me just to be with Reina. Even when our baby was cremated, they were still posting about their love like nothing had happened.  I did not scream, nor did I cry—I just packed my bags and left.

Para siyang sinaksak patalikod ng taong akala niya kakampi niya sa lahat, at para sa mga magulang niya ay isa lang siyang kuting na kayang-kayang ipamigay.

Warning... or Invitation? That choice is yours. This isn’t a fairytale. This isn’t about sweet kisses beneath cherry blossoms or soft smiles under the stars. No. This is raw, This is reckless, This is “Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire” A collection of BL short stories carved from lust, laced with obsession, and kissed by chaos. Each chapter stands on its own, a world where strangers become addictions, roommates cross lines, enemies blur into lovers, and the line between want and need snaps without warning. These men don’t fall in love. They fall into temptation. They crash into each other like lightning against the sea, loud, unforgiving, and beautiful in their destruction. You’ll find no gentle romance here. Only the ache of fingertips brushing where they shouldn't, the weight of glances held too long, the gasp before the plunge. This is for the ones who know love isn’t always tender. That sometimes, the most unforgettable stories are the ones written in bruises and longing. This is for those who crave stories that leave a mark, who don’t flinch when desire gets messy, when hearts bleed a little before they beat as one. Not for the faint-hearted. Not for the clean-handed. This is for the bold, the brave, the ones who dare to touch the flame even if it burns. So turn the page. Step into the fire. But don’t say I didn’t warn you--- Because once the embers catch, they never go out.
