DAMSEL RULES

“Denzel Ramos doesn't believe in happy endings-not when her father lies comatose after a scandalous accident, her mother's strength is unraveling at the seams, and every bill feels like a battle. Her armor? Cold logic, a killer chess game, and three ironclad rules: 1. Don't fall in love. 2. Don't accept help. 3. Never show weakness. Then Mater Carmeli Scholarium arrives-with their undefeated volleyball team, polished reputations, and two boys who shake the ground beneath her carefully built walls. Sebastian Garcia: the brooding team captain who hides pain behind silence and plays guitar like he's confessing sins. Rich, private, and raised to be untouchable, Basti's eyes say little-until they land on her. Luke Rodriguez: the golden boy with dancer's grace and a grin that disarms at twenty paces. He flirts like it's a language, loves the spotlight, and makes Denzel's heart misstep in all the wrong ways. Both boys see her. Both boys want her. But falling for either of them would mean breaking every rule she's ever lived by. As secrets unravel-including the truth behind her father's accident, a hidden betrothal, and the tangled pasts of those closest to her-Denzel is forced to choose between protecting herself... or finally letting someone in. Set against the backdrop of interschool rivalries, emotional reckonings, and slow-burning love, Damsel Rules is a deeply heartfelt coming-of-age web novel about grief, ambition, trust, and the kind of love that demands more than survival-it demands surrender. Which boy will win her heart? And when the final move is hers to make-will Denzel follow the rules... or rewrite them?”
