Isla Carter is a fearless journalist known for exposing truths powerful men would rather keep buried. Sebastian Romano is one of those men—an untouchable mafia boss whose influence hides behind wealth, silence, and control. When Isla’s investigation pulls her dangerously close to Sebastian’s world, their connection becomes unavoidable. What begins as watchful distance turns into charged conversations, careful restraint, and a growing tension neither of them planned. Isla knows better than to trust a man like him—especially when the truth about him is exactly what could destroy him. When she finally publishes the story that exposes Sebastian, it should have ended everything. Instead, it changes them. As danger closes in and lines blur between duty and desire, Sebastian is forced to choose between power and honesty, while Isla must face the cost of loving a man she once meant to bring down. Set against a world of secrets, control, and quiet confessions, Byline of My Heart is a slow-burn romance about choosing truth—even when it risks the heart—and discovering that the most dangerous love is the one that refuses to cage you.

He'd been through storms of bullets. He already once escaped death. Kidnapping a girl would be a piece of cake to him. Iyon ang akala niya. Timothy did not expect Idalia to be such a temptress. He did not expect her to be so good in seducing him and making him painstakingly hard by just glancing at her. Hindi niya inakalang maaakit siya sa mapupulang labi nito at nangungusap na mga mata. Above all, he did not expect that Idalia could unleash the monster he hid inside of him, the monster he thought was not existing, making him feral whenever a man touches her. Making him completely lose his mind whenever he sees her talking with someone else. Even though Timothy tried so hard and all means to escape from Idalia's enchantment, his efforts were useless. He could not resist her charms. He knows it within himself that he lost it but he refuse to let it show. He refuse to let any man know about the feelings he is harboring for the girl who is meant to be with someone else. Now, he's caught in a battle between his raging desire for her and his commitment to the mission. He's caught in a battle between himself for wanting to take her as his. When words could destroy a heart like a bullet, would Timothy let himself break her heart along with his own? Would he let the world they built crumble down into pieces? Or would he let his heart decide and completely own her despite knowing it would mean going through flames?
