(BL, M2M, 18+; contain sexual content) When twenty-one year old Adrian Blackwell, the rich young master of Blackwell family, was dragged by his parents to a so-called "conversion camp", he expects endless sermon about how he's a sinner, punishments that is designed to 'fix' him, and a miserable life away from his wealthy lifestyle. However, little did he know that every gay trainee inside the camp is forced to live with a straight partner that will eventually help him to be 'normal' again. Damian Cross, a straight grumpy athlete, is partnered with Adrian who only accepted the offer because they said he'll get paid to 'torment' (not the exact word but it's what got processed in his mind) a gay man- which he doesn't mind doing at all. Day by day, the more they clash and the more they get into each other's nerve, the more the forbidden line begins to blur away. Will they resist temptation, or give in to the dangerous desire growing inside the camp's walls?

RAVE SANJERCAS - Five years ago, Rave had closed his life from the world and from everyone. Simula nang mamatay ang kanyang asawa ay itinuon na niya ang atensyon sa limang taong anak na si Ross, sa paggawa ng mga comic illustrations at pagsusulat ng mga nobela. For 5 years, he never let anyone enter his life, even GOD. Not until his best friend Mykael pestered him every day to get out and have fun. Nagawa nitong mapapayag siyang umalis sa bahay niya para samahan ang kaibigan na mag-bar. What he didn't expect ay bumili ito ng babae para paligayahin siya sa gabing 'yon. Si Laura, ang babaeng mala anghel ang mukha ngunit tila tinanggalan ng pakpak dahil napadpad ito sa ganoong trabaho. At one glance, Rave hated everything about Laura and her work. But what if Laura is different? Paano kung masyado lang siyang naging judgmental sa babae? Paano kung talagang anghel talaga ito? What if… Laura can be HIS BEAUTIFUL START?

"I accepted everything, even your unborn child na walang ama tapos susuwayin mo ang utos ko? Akira gusto mo bang lumaki ng walang kinikilalang ama 'yang anak mo?" Sermon, yan ang palaging bungad ng stepmother ko sa tuwing pupunta ako dito sa bahay. Tumingin ako sa mga mukha nito, halata dito ang galit at inis. Napayuko lang ako dito sa sofa habang nakaupo. All my life I was a spoiled brat girl but in one night, in just one mistake nagbago lahat. Nakita ko ang pag hakbang nito palayo, ngunit bago pa man siya makaalis ay nagsalita muna ito. "You have no choice Akira, its either abort that child or marry Mr. Briar." "WHAT?" Sa sobrang gulat ay napasigaw ako at napatayo, napahinto naman si tita Belle. Lumingon ito sakin na parang nagtatanong kung bakit ako sumigaw. "A-anong si Mr. Briar?" "Yes, Mr. Reigh Briar. You know him right? Sila ang number 1 kalaban ng pamilya natin this coming election, so kung maikakasal ka sa kanya, you'll be staying there and be our spy." "Pero—" "No buts Akira." may diing sabi nito at tuluyan ng umalis. Si Reigh? Sa lahat ng lalaki si Reigh pa talaga? Why him? Kaya ko nga di pinaalam sa kanila kung sino ang ama ng batang nasa sinapupunan ko ay para lumayo sa kanya tapos ngayon siya ang papakasalan ko? PAPAKASALAN KO ANG EX KONG AMA NG DINADALA KO?

"You need financial freedom. I need a bride. One signature—and your debt’s gone." *** Kira Navarro thought she had everything under control. Maayos ang trabaho, may konting ipon, at kahit papaano'y nakakaraos sa buhay. Dahil sa sobrang pagod at stress, napa-oo siya sa mga kaibigan na mag-unwind sa bar. Hindi niya inakalang ang simpleng gabing ‘yon ay mauuwi sa isang mainit na encounter kasama ang isang estranghero—na hindi niya alam, ay ang bagong CEO ng Salvatore Holdings, kung saan siya nagtatrabaho bilang architect. Kinabukasan, halos himatayin siya sa gulat nang makaharap ang lalaki sa opisina—ang cold and ruthless CEO na ngayon ay boss niya. Pero hindi siya pinansin. Parang hindi siya kilala. Parang walang nangyari. Pagbalik niya sa ospital kung saan naka-confine ang ina niyang may sakit sa puso, dumating ang mas masakit na balita—wala na ito. Cardiac arrest. Gumuho ang mundo ni Kira. Wala na ang ina niya. Nabaon siya sa utang. At nanganganib pa silang mapalayas sa inuupahan nila ng kapatid niya. Desperada siyang humingi ng cash advance sa HR, pero tinanggihan. Wala na siyang ibang malapitan kundi ang taong ayaw na ayaw sana niyang lapitan—si Anthony Salvatore. Pero sa halip na tulong o sermon, isang kontrata ang inabot nito. Pakakasalan daw niya si Anthony kapalit ng limang milyong piso at pagbabayad ng lahat ng utang nila. Sa harap ng mundo, asawa siya ng CEO. Pero sa loob ng mansion, parang boarder lang siya. Hanggang kailan niya kailangang tanggapin na papel lang ang ginagampanan niya sa buhay ng lalaking unti-unti niyang minamahal?
