“Crossed Hearts”
In the bustling halls of Ravensworth University, Celeste Yoo finds herself at the start of a new chapter — free from a toxic past and ready to rebuild her dreams. Graceful but quietly strong, she joins the university’s Procurement Office, unaware that this fresh beginning will intertwine her life with three men whose worlds will soon collide with hers.
There’s Arch. Leo Adrian Sarmiento, the perfectionist architect who hides unspoken feelings behind his calm precision; Engr. Iñigo Miranda, the dependable civil engineer whose quiet devotion runs deeper than he lets on; and Marco Dela Paz, the playful IT specialist whose humor masks his brokenness — and whose charm might just be Celeste’s undoing.
As Celeste navigates her new career, laughter, late nights, and caffeine-fueled meetings become the rhythm of her days. But amid blueprints, bids, and building plans, the line between professionalism and emotion begins to blur.
From a simple “system update” to stolen glances over coffee, to shared moments that test boundaries, Celeste finds herself caught in a network of connections she never planned for. Each man sees a different version of her — sincerity, strength, hope — and in turn, she learns what it means to choose between comfort, chaos, and courage.
Set in a world where ambition meets affection, “Crossed Hearts” is a story of second chances, subtle flirtations, and the quiet ache of finding love where you least expect it.
Because sometimes, the most intricate designs aren’t found on paper —
but in the hearts that dare to cross lines.
