Collateral Love

Denzel Ramos doesn't believe in happy endings-not when her father lies comatose after a scandalous accident, her mother's strength is unraveling at the seams, and every bill feels like a battle. Her armor? Cold logic, a killer chess game, and three ironclad rules: 1. Don't fall in love. 2. Don't accept help. 3. Never show weakness. Then Mater Carmeli Scholarium arrives-with their undefeated volleyball team, polished reputations, and two boys who shake the ground beneath her carefully built walls. Sebastian Garcia: the brooding team captain who hides pain behind silence and plays guitar like he's confessing sins. Rich, private, and raised to be untouchable, Basti's eyes say little-until they land on her. Luke Rodriguez: the golden boy with dancer's grace and a grin that disarms at twenty paces. He flirts like it's a language, loves the spotlight, and makes Denzel's heart misstep in all the wrong ways. Both boys see her. Both boys want her. But falling for either of them would mean breaking every rule she's ever lived by. As secrets unravel-including the truth behind her father's accident, a hidden betrothal, and the tangled pasts of those closest to her-Denzel is forced to choose between protecting herself... or finally letting someone in. Set against the backdrop of interschool rivalries, emotional reckonings, and slow-burning love, Damsel Rules is a deeply heartfelt coming-of-age web novel about grief, ambition, trust, and the kind of love that demands more than survival-it demands surrender. Which boy will win her heart? And when the final move is hers to make-will Denzel follow the rules... or rewrite them?

What if you fall deeply in love with someone who sees you as nothing but an inconvenience? What if he ignores every tear, every smile, every desperate attempt to matter to him?

But what if, just what if, the day you finally teach your heart to let him go, and he shows up begging for a second chance? Can you forgive the man who once was your heartless heartbreaker?

Elias Joaquin Saavedra Rosario was the only heir to the Rosario fortune, a gifted artist with breathtaking looks, yet cold, distant, and ruthless.

Instead, he vowed to show her she was mistaken, that he wasn't the man for this determined orphanage girl. Now tell me, who will win this war? The girl who gave everything? Or the boy who gave nothing but pain? Heads up: THESE TWO WILL ABSOLUTELY TEST YOUR PATIENCE. THEY'LL FRUSTRATE YOU, ANGER YOU, AND PROBABLY MAKE YOU WANT TO SCREAM.
