A Love Story

What if you met the woman you wanted to make your wife after you married someone else? Ian Montes is a picture of success. Despite being a son of a shipping tycoon, Ian refused to just coast on his father's empire; he built his own real-estate company and earned his first million at a very young age. He never looked back since then. Driven by his ambition to become better than, if not as good as his father, Ian managed to make it on his own. But behind all the glory is a man yearning for love and recognition. Wounded from his mother's abandonment when he was 17 and desperate for his father's approval, Ian longed for someone who could and would love him unconditionally. He felt this twice when he met two particular women: Joanna and Karyn. Joanna Villanueva is a picture of quiet confidence and success. Healing from heartbreak caused by an errant ex-husband, Joanna found love again when she rescued Ian from a water-skiing accident in La Union. Being a doctor, Joanna nurtured Ian and showered him with love and attention. With Joanna, Ian found the home he sorely missed and a life of bliss he never thought he could have. But there is also Karyn Torres, a flight attendant he met en route to Macau for a business trip. At 24, Karyn is the epitome of youthful sensuality and worldliness. With Karyn, every moment is filled with excitement and spontaneity. With Karyn, Ian found the life he's always wanted. So he's left with a choice. In the end, Ian, Joanna, and Karyn learn--painfully--the true meaning of unconditional love and forgiveness.
