Si Evangeline Yang, kilala sa high-end world ng Ligaya & Adonis bilang Apple Pie, ang pinaka-requested escort—tinaguriang Best Flavor. Pero para kay Eva, hindi ito tungkol sa karangyaan o pagnanasa—isa itong paraan para mabuhay. Ang gabi-gabi niyang bookings ang naging daan para siya'y makatapos ng BSBA major in Marketing, nakabili siya ng studio-type condo unit, at naka pag patayo ng maliit na negosyo para sa kanyang pamilya sa probinsya. Ngunit matapos ang limang taon ng pagtatago sa pangalang hindi kanya, handa na siyang mag-quit. Ang final booking niya: isang weekend sa Euphoria Island kasama ang isang estrangherong basag ang puso. Walang pangalan. Walang expectations. Walang label. Langit sa ilalim ng buwan. Mga halik na masyadong totoo para sabihing trabaho lang. At isang gabing akala nila, kaya nilang iwanan sa isla. Nagkamali sila. Pagbalik sa Maynila, handa na si Eva sa bagong simula-isang lehitimong trabaho sa isang prestihiyosong marketing firm. Pero hindi siya handa sa lalaking naghihintay sa kabilang dulo ng opisina. Gideon Morgan—isang self-made billionaire CEO at charismatic marketing genius—na minsang naniwala at naging bulag sa pag-ibig... matapos siyang paulit-ulit iwan ng babaeng akala niya'y sa kanya. Sa Euphoria, natikman niya ang kalayaang matagal na niyang hinahanap-at ang halik ng babaeng hindi niya malilimutan. Maniniwala na sana siyang hindi totoo ang second chances—hanggang may nagturo sa kanya kung paano muling umasa at buksan ang puso muli. At ngayon, narito ang babaeng 'yon. Sa opisina niya. Bilang kanyang bagong secretary. Sa mundong puno ng power suits, deadlines, at mga lihim na hindi nila sinadyang itago—kaya pa ba nilang manatiling propesyonal? O dadalhin ng Euphoria ang lahat ng damdaming iniwan nila... hanggang sa boardroom?

I wasn’t supposed to sleep with him. I am straight or maybe was... Hell, I wasn’t even supposed to meet him until one drunken night changed everything. I had no idea who he was. He had no idea I was the brother of the woman he was about to be engaged to. We touched. We kissed. I let him take everything from me. And then I woke up… and realized he wasn’t just any guy. He was Dante Cruz. The heir. The man I'm now forced to work for. Now, I’m stuck pretending like last night never happened. He’s engaged to my sister. And I’m still trying to remember how to breathe every time he looks at me like he wants to taste me all over again. I said it was a mistake. He said I didn’t stop him. One of us is lying.

Wanting to help her family and treat her sick father, Pazneah was forced to join a secret fraternity. She thought it would be a better way to earn money, but it wasn't. Especially when she was dragged into an unfamiliar cabin for violating the initiation of the fraternity. She was blindfolded. She wanted to regret everything, but it was too late. A stranger had gotten the purity that she was most wary of. And the only thing she could do that night was to run and escape from all the wrong decisions she had ever made in her whole entire life. But the night she neglected herself paid off. Until she found out that the child she was carrying was the son of a millionaire.

Sa mata ng lahat, isa lang akong ordinaryong secretary na walang halaga sa pinakamalaking kumpanya sa bansa. Tahimik akong gumagalaw sa opisina habang pinapanood ang mga kasamahan kong halos sambahin ang malamig, makapangyarihan, at walang pusong CEO—si Evander de la Cruz. Para sa kanila, siya ang lalaking hindi kailanman bababa sa antas ng isang tulad ko. Pero ang hindi nila alam… asawa ko siya. Isang taon na mula nang ikasal kami nang palihim. Sa harap ng lahat, ako’y parang alipin lang ng trabaho, at siya nama’y boss na ni hindi ako pinapansin. Pero sa likod ng saradong pintuan ng kanyang opisina, nagbabago ang lahat. Doon, siya ang lalaking sabik sa aking haplos, handang lumuhod para lamang maramdaman ang init ng aking pagmamahal. Pinili kong itago ang aming kasal upang patunayan na kaya kong magsikap gamit ang sarili kong pangalan. Ngunit habang tumatagal, mas nagiging lantad ang pag-aangkin ni Evander—at mas nagiging mapanganib ang mundo sa paligid namin. Lalo na nang magsimulang gumalaw si Clarisse Montenegro, ang ambisyosang team leader na gagawin ang lahat para siraan ako at mapasakanya si Evander. At mas lalong lumala ang lahat nang pumasok sa eksena si Alessandro Cortez, ang tuso at mapanganib na CEO ng partner company na nahulog sa akin at handang gamitin ang negosyo para agawin ako mula kay Evander. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, tukso, at laban sa kapangyarihan, isa lang ang malinaw: kapag ang malamig na CEO ay umibig, hindi siya uurong sa digmaan. At ako ang dahilan ng digmaang iyon.

“We’re friends,” I said, voice barely steady. Aaron’s lips curled, slow and cruel. “No, we’re not.” “Friendship’s too pure for this.” His hand slid to my waist, hot and claiming as he yanked me flush against him. “Do friends kiss like this?” He kissed me. Hard. Possessive. “Or grab each other like this?” A squeeze to my ass. A gasp. “Or think filthy little thoughts?” His breath burned against my ear. “Touch themselves to it?” My cheeks flamed. My body betrayed me. “Stop lying, Venus.” His voice was a growl. “I feel it. Every time I’m near you.” I whispered, “But you don’t even like me.” His smile was pure sin. “I don’t have to like you to fuck you.” Then the offer: “Let’s get it out of our system. No lies. No strings. Just truth.” He grabbed my chin, eyes lit with hunger. “Say the word, princess.” A whisper against my lips— “I’ll ruin you.” And God help me… I wanted him to. --------- Aaron Sinclair needs a bride to claim his inheritance.
