The Secret of Derek Guerrero

Mark Manalang

IS THIS COINCIDENCE…

Derek Guerrero wants to write romance, a far cry from his action-packed, dramatic crime series. To accomplish his goal, he collaborates with young and spunky best-selling author Kim Velasquez. Despite their differences, Derek and Kim find a common bond: a love for anime and a yearning to understand what romance truly is.

…OR IS THIS FATE?

When a series of anime-themed murders strikes in the metropolis, Derek’s resolve is put to the test, for every clue is leading to a painful secret from his past. Complicating matters is a jealous lover who would stop at nothing to possess Kim, even at the cost of her career.

To stop the murders and protect Kim’s slowly-breaking heart, Derek will have to confront his past and unmask his unknown enemies, all while learning to acknowledge his growing feelings for Kim…who just might have something to do with his secret.
