Some Bali to Love
Ava Bonifacio’s plan was simple—attend her friends’ engagement party, look good, toast the happy couple and get out. What she hadn’t planned on was kissing Scott Sabio in front of the entire party to ward off the jerk her friend was trying to set her up with. Scott, who she hasn’t seen or spoken to in nine years. Scott, who used to know absolutely everything about Ava.
The kiss makes it a little hard to execute the ‘get out’ part of her plan. Especially when her bride-to-be friend announces her brilliant idea—a five day, all expenses paid trip for their little barkada to Bali to shoot content for her vlog—and Ava’s pride and pettiness refuses to back down on the fake boyfriend ruse she already started.
Scott’s more than happy to spend time with an old friend. He hadn’t exactly expected that she would speak to him, let alone fake date him after he ghosted her nine years ago. But as the unBalievable sun starts to rise and sets in Ava’s eyes, Scott dares to hope in a future for them, one beyond the beach shores.

Step One, check: Get a scholarship to study in Manila—the place where all the action is.
What’s not part of The Plan? Meeting basketball heartthrob and aspiring photographer Mickey King. He’s annoying, distracting, and always manages to catch Clara at her worst. But as much as she hates to admit it, he has a sweet, caring side that makes her think twice.
When Clara starts struggling in school and her plan falls apart, she wonders if she should have listened to her parents and stayed closer to home. Should she give up and go back—or face her fears in a city that could break her heart and her spirit?

Take Two
VJ Locsin is six months away from her 40th birthday and so far, nothing in her life has gone according to plan. Instead of being an executive TV producer and the jetsetter she envisioned herself to be, she is working 12-hour shifts as a housekeeper to pay for student loans in cold Ontario, Canada.
But the universe, it seems, has its own plans. One winter night, at a party VJ didn’t even want to go to, she finds Marco, the boy she left in Dumaguete, Philippines two decades ago.
Marco Ramirez is fresh in town as an international student, hungry to find the fulfillment he’s been looking for. And who should he see, of all people? VJ—the girl who asked him to star in her college film project, the girl with the mischievous eyes, the girl he slowly fell in love with, the girl who ghosted him nineteen years ago.
Marco tries to get closer to VJ again by asking for help navigating his new life. VJ struggles to stay away—after all, she knows what it’s like being in a foreign land.
Will their reunion be a blooper or the sequel that leads to a happy ever after?

Martha Aguas has it all: a job she likes, a puppy she loves, and a wardrobe that makes her feel beautiful. Yes, everyone tries to make her feel bad for being mataba, she can’t buy bras in the Philippines, and she’s never had a boyfriend. But so what? It’s never mattered before.
But when her perfect cousin Regina announces her engagement Enzo, the blast from the past boy whom she might have loved before, it suddenly feels like a big deal. Aguases from all over the globe are coming in for the engagement of the century, and the last thing Martha wants to hear is a well-meaning barb about how she should watch her weight.
Thank god for Max. Her funny, dependable, best friend Max, who doesn’t mind playing the role of fake boyfriend for the family festivities. But the more Martha plays along, the less it feels like pretend, and more she starts to wonder if Max had maybe loved her all along.

All her life, Cora Ciacho was trained by her father to be one thing: CEO of Ciacho Group, the company he built from the ground up. She assumes the role six months after he passes away, but must face new challenges: a borderline hostile board, a too-good-to-be-true investment offer, and a mother and sister who deal with their grief in different ways. Thank goodness for Stephen Cruz, the sweet, sexy man who’d rescued her from a party eight months ago and has stayed by her side ever since.

Their relationship sizzles in the bedroom, but as they go through a trial by fire, can his love overcome their challenges? Or will it fizzle as Cora tries to conquer the boardroom?
