You'll get immersed in the electric energy of Manila as the characters' bargain leads to genuine chemistry. It's for anyone craving a tale where laughter intertwines with a poignant search for love—and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life come unexpectedly.

Description

She’s done with destiny. He’s chasing the past. But fate has other plans. Sophia Eunice Joaquin is done believing in "meant to be." After uprooting her life for love—only to be ghosted the moment she lands in Vancouver—she’s heading back to Manila, heartbroken and humiliated. Enter Rafael Herbert: an architect on a mission to win back the girl who ghosted him. When a fateful seat assignment brings them together, they strike a wild deal—he'll be her fake fiancé for her brother’s wedding, and she’ll help him track down his lost love. But as they navigate Manila’s bustling streets, old churches, and hidden gems, their fake romance starts feeling a little too real. Maybe love isn’t about finding the right person—it’s about finding the right person at the right time. And maybe, just maybe, that time is now. If Anyone But You and Abby Jimenez’s Just For The Summer had a love child, it’d be this: a swoon-worthy and laugh-out-loud romance from National Bestselling author Mica De Leon of Love on the Second Read.
