The Night Before Xmas Book

Sa malamig na lungsod ng New York, nagsimula ang kakaibang kwento ng isang simpleng Filipina na si **Azia Montenayor** at ng isang mayamang CEO na si Edward Falcon. Isang aksidenteng banggaan sa loob ng kumpanya ang naging daan upang alukin ni Edward si Azia ng isang hindi pangkaraniwang kasunduan—isang one-year contract marriage kapalit ng malaking halaga ng pera. Para kay Azia na may pamilyang tinutulungan sa Pilipinas, tila praktikal itong desisyon. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na mas magiging komplikado ang lahat nang malaman niyang siya ay buntis. Unti-unting nabunyag na bago pa man ang kasal, may koneksyon na pala sila sa isang gabing may maskara—isang charity event kung saan nagtagpo ang kanilang mga landas sa ilalim ng emosyon at kahinaan. Mula sa isang lihim na alaala at hindi planadong pagbubuntis, nagsimulang mabuo ang isang relasyong higit pa sa kontrata. Habang hinaharap nila ang selos mula sa dating kasintahan ni Edward at ang mga pagsubok na dala ng kapangyarihan at impluwensya, mas tumitibay ang kanilang samahan. Sa bawat problema—mula sa aksidenteng pinaghihinalaang sabotahe hanggang sa panghihimasok ng nakaraan—pinatunayan nilang ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi nasusukat ng pera o pirma sa papel. Sa huli, ang flash marriage na nagsimula bilang isang kasunduan ay nauwi sa isang totoong pamilya. Sa pagitan ng tawanan, selos, panganib, at lambingan, natuklasan nina Azia at Edward na ang pagmamahal ay maaaring magsimula sa maling oras at maling paraan—ngunit kung ito ay totoo, ito ang magiging pinakamatibay na pundasyon ng kanilang bagong buhay bilang pamilya Falcon.

"All she wanted was a spark, a fire that would burn her skin. She craved passion, wildness, and insanity." Among all the reckless things she'd done, sleeping with a complete stranger might have been the craziest. Things would have been different if she wasn’t still haunted by thoughts of the man who, for one night, brought three-fourths of her fantasies to life. Coral had given up hope, knowing that in a city of over two million people, finding a man whose face and name she didn’t know was impossible. But then she met him again—on a blind date. Lucian Andersen, the son of one of her father’s closest friends. He was devastatingly handsome, a cold heartthrob, dangerous, and whenever he smirked, shivers danced down her spine. Her mind went blank, reeling from the shock that out of all the people in the world, it was him she had shared that wild night with in an unknown room. The date might have been ordinary, but then the man, with an ego larger than a football stadium, said something that left her breathless. “I want to marry you, Coral Shen.” The butterflies in her belly might have danced at his proposal, but they died instantly upon hearing his true intentions. He didn’t love her. Hell, she wasn’t even sure if he liked her. But she knew one thing: the marriage proposal was purely for business. Coral refused, but the twists of fate had other plans. Against all odds, she found herself asking him to be her fiancé.

Now, trapped between a marriage she can’t escape and a past that won’t stay buried, Alika must uncover the truth before she becomes the next name on the gravestone. Because this curse doesn’t kill at random. It kills for a reason.
