Cover (re)reveal: Win Meah Over
I really meant to post this before January ended, but things have been moving quite fast in the past few days that I hardly had the time to breathe. This is figuratively and literally, because I also caught a bug and have been doing my best to fight the cold and sore throat. Whew.
So if you’ve been around for a while — like, 2019 — what I’m about to show isn’t new to you anymore since it was posted on the #RomanceClass Patreon (which is up again, by the way, have you seen the latest cool stuff that’s there???), and you probably still have this update in your email. But 2019 is more than half a decade (!!!) ago, and with everything that’s happened since then, it’s good to have a refresher, right?
Also, as you know, I have been out of the writing scene since the pandemic, so this feels like of like…a re-debut of sorts. In K-pop terms, a comeback.
(BTS is coming back on March 20, btw! Pre-save their next album, Arirang, here!)Whether you’ve been here for a while or you’re new, hi! I’m releasing a new book, and I can finally share details! Win Meah Over will be out on February 18, 2026! And look at the gorgeous cover here:
I’ve had this cover for YEARS, so it doesn’t feel new, but the kilig is still there! Designed by the fabulous Miles Tan, shoot by fellow author and emotional photographer Chi Yu Rodriguez, featuring our friends and live readers, Graie So and Bibo Reyes.
But wait, there’s more!
We had special guests on set that day, so we made them models, too. The paperback edition will have this cover:
Fun fact: My original outline didn’t have Pomeranians, but after this shoot, I suddenly had them. We’re flexible like that!
Win Meah Over is about Meah, a former psych and friend to all, who runs into Joseph, a guy from her past that she’s really rather forget. The full synopsis is below, but this book features a concert tour across the Philippines, lots of enemies-to-lovers friction, second chance/TOTGA vibes, lots of character cameos, and dogs!
Meah Constantino is everyone’s friend: cheerleader, matchmaker, fixer, and the one who’ll drop everything when you call at 3 a.m. Not even her career shift from psych to events kept her from being the steady person everyone can rely on. Being needed is easy. Being seen? No, thanks.
When a last-minute work change brings Joseph Rodriguez, the guy she’s vowed to forget, back into her orbit for the concert tour she’s directing, Meah’s world tilts off-balance. It’s been three years since she last heard from him, and now they’re together for four weeks, pretending their history doesn’t exist and that she doesn’t want answers. Meah is determined to stay away from him, but somewhere between prod meetings and supply runs, she remembers why she fell for him in the first place, especially when Joseph keeps breaking through her carefully compartmentalized life.
All Meah wants is to reach the finale with the heart she gives so freely out of Joseph’s reach again. When the encore fades, will Meah protect her heart the old way, or will she give Joseph a chance to win her over?
