Rough Patch Novels & Stories

Isang gabi lang. Isang salitang masakit. That's all it took para mawasak si Naomi Chavez. "Boring." Iyon ang last insult ng ex niya before he walked away—para sa babaeng "mas adventurous," "mas marunong mag-satisfy." Pissed off and humiliated, Naomi made a reckless choice: she'll find someone to teach her all the things she's been too scared to try. Every touch. Every sin. Every filthy secret na hindi niya pa alam. And there's only one man qualified for the job—Raze Vitale. Raze is danger wrapped in expensive suits. He doesn't do romance. He doesn't do sweet. He does raw, rough, and relentless. A man who thrives sa init ng gabi and the sound of his name being moaned. Kaya when Naomi showed up with a proposition too tempting to refuse, he said yes. But every lesson has a price. Every moan has consequences. Revenge turned into craving. Lessons turned into obsession. But sa larong ito, who's really winning? The innocent student learning to sin... or the ruthless teacher who's slowly losing himself?
