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.

Ana Kalaw’s family was bestowed with plant magic, long before she was born. And it is in Esquina, in Batangas where it’s strongest. Makes sense that she moved here after the pandemic, and found her new home. 

But her magic’s been going haywire in the weirdest way, throwing old mangoes at SUVs and sending a boy sleeping under the banaba trees. The same boy Ana seriously crushed on when she was younger, almost like she called him to her.

Bas Lozano has no memory of falling asleep under the banaba trees of Esquina, but he does remember Ana. And while he’s fascinated by the locked up greenhouse behind the house, he’s more intrigued by her, hoping to get closer to her. 

Ana doesn’t have a spell book for any of this. She’s not even sure one exists. But she’s happy to follow along, and go where the magic wants to take her. 

Blooming Love

Mindy and Javier are not friends, okay. Despite their mothers’ matchmaking, they’ve managed to stay out of each other’s way. Until Mindy goes to Paris for a week, and her mother insists she meet up with Javier. He’s in Paris to study, really looking forward to see you, she says. Watch over each other.

No thanks. Javier is taciturn and boring, Mindy is dramatic and has a tendency to yell at things when her eight siblings are brought up. It’s not a great combination. But things start to look a little different under the Paris lights, and what felt like hate feels a lot closer to love.

Chasing Mindy

Mindy goes to Paris, and her mother reminds her to go see Javier, bane of her existence. Future love of her life.
