Portrait Of An Unknown Woman

Surrounded by luxury and comfort, Dominique Le Blanc does not miss anything, except excitement. His life as the owner of the largest casino in Monaco requires a lot of time and dedication to enjoy this refined and electrifying, but unimportant, environment. Bets and money are no longer able to excite you. Could that change with a gunshot-covered escape in a hospital parking lot? Without knowing why, a young woman flees from her armed captors. The reason for the chase is unknown, but the escape leads her to get into the first open car she sees. Driven by the instinct to fight for her own life, she hides in the vehicle, while the passengers agree to flee the scene quickly. The young woman carries nothing with her, no belongings, no clothes, no name and much less memories. What is the first thing she should look for? “An Inconsequent Desire” is a dark novel full of action and chaos, with two protagonists who know very well what they want… or almost. Tension, desire, luxury and danger mix as Dominique and the fugitive try to resolve their relationship and their desires in a world as opulent as it’s reckless. Violence and attraction go hand in hand for a couple covered in the past, immersed in the present and with almost no future. What is the price of unearthing their memories? How much can it change what is yet to come? Love or obsession. Salvation or ruin. In the end, everyone has something to lose... and maybe that's everything.

Moon De Vera was never the type to take risks—lalo na sa pag-ibig. Pero nang inalok siya ng isang deal ng estrangherong si Lucas Madrigal, pumayag siya. Fake relationship. No strings attached. Lucas needed a pretend girlfriend para patahimikin ang media, at si Moon—she badly needed the money para sa pamilya niya. Sa simula, malinaw ang kasunduan. Walang selosan, walang expectations. Pero kahit gaano nila tangkaing panatilihing peke, hindi nila mapigilan ang spark na unti-unting nabubuo. Late-night talks. Unexpected kilig. Lingering stares. Halos. Pero sa kasagsagan ng paglalim ng nararamdaman ni Moon, biglang nawala si Lucas. Walang paalam. Walang mensahe. Ghosted. Left hanging. Pitong taon ang lumipas. Si Moon, mas matatag na ngayon. Mas kampante, mas kumpleto. Sa pagbabalik niya sa corporate world, nag-apply siya sa isang sikat na kumpanya—hindi niya alam, doon din siya muling masasaktan. Lucas Madrigal is back. Pero ngayong CEO na siya, at si Moon ang magiging sekretarya niya, tables have turned. Lucas acts cold, pero may halong pag-aalalang hindi niya maitagong lubos. Moon, on the other hand, pretends she's fine. But the tension? It's there. Unspoken. Unfinished. Undeniable. As they spend more time together, lumalabas ang mga lihim—kung bakit bigla siyang nawala. Kung anong nangyari sa pagitan nila noon. At kung totoo nga bang wala siyang naramdaman. Pero ang mas mabigat: May bagong plano si Moon. At hindi ito para muling magmahal. It’s to make him fall—this time, without catching him. Matutuloy ba ang plano ni Moon? O hahayaan na lang nya ang nakaraan at sasabay sa agos ng pag-iibigang mabubuo muli
