No Strings Attached
From the back cover:
Carla is a whiz at her job: she’s efficient, reliable, and a total genius when it comes to putting something together at the last minute. The snag is she’s single and turning the big three-oh in a few months. Her girl best friend (yes, she’s married just like the other girls in Carla’s barkada) keeps trying to set her up with stable banker-types, while her guy best friend (single – the other single one) encourages her to play the field – no strings attached.
Then, through no set up or extraordinary circumstance, Carla meets Dante. Hot, smug, sexy Dante. Definitely not a banker-type and seemingly too good to be true. So there’s got to be a catch. There is. He’s five years younger. Is the universe telling Carla to finally let loose and enjoy a fling with a younger man? Or is there a lot more to this awkward situation that she bargained for?
My second novel with Summit Books is out now. Hope you’re all in a book-buying mood. 🙂
This was the work that I had originally talked about in this blog, but under a different working title. I’m happy with the title change, though, and appreciate that there’s a lot of feedback and care behind getting these books out.
Some shoutouts:
Editor Ines and Publisher Aueeie: It’s hard work, what you do. But I’m so glad you make the effort. I hope it’s fun rather than frustrating on most days. 🙂
Abi Goy at Studio Dialogo: Excellent cover!
Husband Michael A.R. Co for the help with the not-girly stuff.
Certain friends (they should know who they are) for suggesting the concept.
Chris for answering my odd questions.
Thank you for the support and encouragement. 🙂

I was in the mall yesterday doing my usually stroll in the bookstore when this little book caught my eye. The first thing I noticed was the name of the Author and I immediately (almost instinctively) grabbed it. Didn't really think twice on buying it because I just LOVE 'My Imaginary Ex' to death and judging by the title it will be as kick-ass as that one. Sure enough, it didn't

This book is awesome. I already finished reading it. And guess what? I used it in our school project(book-reporting). By the way, thanks for making this book! More powers 😉

Hi! I saw your book on top of a NBS shelf yesterday and bought it because I'd heard a lot about it. And boy did I enjoy it! I started reading late at night and finished at about 1AM. Congrats, I think it was really good and unlike generic romances really had that 'kilig' factor going on between the hero and heroine. I just lent the book to my roommate, she's reading it now.:D I
