What If We Fall In Love? is a collection of stories about what ifs that get answered, what ifs that end with happy ever after.
What if you had a chance at love?

Let it be known that Manuel La Rosa had always found Jamia Damiles beautiful, and not only in a breathtaking, how-are-you-even-real kind of way. He also found her smart, competent, and funny—you know, completely out of his league.

But when she agrees to be his fake girlfriend for his cousin’s wedding, Manuel slowly realizes Jamia might be within his reach after all.

What if you took the first step?

Starting a food truck business isn’t easy—just ask Paz Laban, who almost burned down her truck on opening day. Thankfully, help was nearby, and it came to save the day wearing a tight shirt and a familiar face.

They call him Coby now, but to her, he will always be Jako: the shy and lanky son of the Galarosas, who lived across their street in her hometown in Bicol. Little does she know that to him, she’s the unattainable crush…and now he’s ready to shoot his shot.

What if you choose to be brave?

Five years ago, college friends Aki Buenaventura and Bonnie Salvador made an unwritten pact to get married if they find themselves single at thirty-five. It all seemed like a forgotten promise until an ISP fail leads work-from-home employee Bonnie to knocking on Aki’s door and asking to spend a few days at his apartment.

When proximity and the rush of fond memories force Aki to confront his long repressed feelings, will he finally muster the courage to take the leap?
