Love is All Around
(2022)(The second book in the Aritzes series)
A collection of stories by Suzette De Borja, Carla de Guzman and Bianca Mori
It's the holiday season, and for the first time in a long time, the Aritzes set aside the glitter of Manila for their quieter ancestral home in Maria Grasya, Batangas. And while Mamita is ready to deck the halls (with a trick or two up her sleeve) her apos still have problems of their own, and Christmas is the last thing on their minds...
ONE FINE DATE by Carla de Guzman
Sebastian Aritz isn't looking for love. Okay, maybe he is. But that feeling will go away. Eventually he's going to be able to stop thinking about the one night stand he had with Rafael Mendoza. But apparently today is not going to be that day. Not when Rafael is sitting right in front of him, and ready to get to work as his video director.
THE TEMPTATION OF BRIDGETTE by Suzette de Borja
Bridgette is the Aritz cousin who never causes drama. She walks the straight, narrow, and gilded path toward parental expectations she always manages to meet. Will a chance encounter with sexy cellist Jamie Rojico in a Parisian subway tempt Bridgette to indulge in a secret, hot holiday hookup before she finally comes home to Manila and resume her "saintly" persona?
ALWAYS WILL by Bianca Mori
Lucia Aritz has been roped into organizing Mamita's Christmas Hunt extravaganza, which would be awesome, except for one tiny thing: it brings her back to Maria Grasya and into the orbit of next-door neighbor Mon Orosa. To say Lucia and Mon have 'history' is an understatement. But the holiday madness around the estate threatens to undo Lucia's convictions...and it doesn't help that Mon is all grown up, fine as hell, and wants her bad.
