Produktbeschreibung
Crazy Rich Asians meets Bend It Like Beckham in this outrageously fun, Filipino-flavored romance. When Jomar's tennis ambitions crash into Mitchelle's wounded heart during one charmingly disastrous karaoke night, they'll discover that the biggest matches aren't played on courts-but in learning to love despite the ghosts of the past. Jomar Montalbano thinks he's ready for anything. A rising tennis star from the Philippines, he lands in London with one suitcase, one college scholarship, and zero idea how to survive without rice. He's counting on a few wins on the court-but definitely not falling for Mitchelle Tanner. She's the quiet girl with a vintage camera, a craving for halo-halo, and a smile that hides as much as it shows. Half-American, half-Filipina, and fully impossible to read. He's used to power and control-but around her, he's completely unstrung. From vulnerable confessions in a darkroom's glow to rallies that feel like Wimbledon wins, Jomar discovers that love-like tennis-is all about timing, risk, and knowing when to fight for the point. Set in London's rainy alleys and sunlit parks, woven with island warmth and humor, Gihigugma, Ace of Hearts is an adventure about home, heart, and the courage to choose love against all odds. Love at eighteen isn't always a mistake. Sometimes, it's a miracle. Content Note: This story contains: social alcohol use, mild profanity, depictions of past romantic trauma. While handled with care, please prioritize your wellbeing. The story ultimately celebrates healing and joyful connection.
