Michelle Drillon and Drew Cepeda never planned to fall in love.
What began as a friendship between two high school classmates quickly grew into something deeper—something worth protecting, even if it had to remain a secret. Through shared dreams, family struggles, academic challenges, and countless unforgettable memories, they became each other's safe place in a world that often felt uncertain.
But love is rarely simple.
As the eldest children in their families, both Michelle and Drew carry responsibilities far beyond their years. Michelle dreams of creating a better future not only for herself but for her younger siblings. Drew struggles to balance his ambitions with the realities of helping support his family. Together, they promise to face whatever life brings.
Yet as adulthood approaches, so do difficult choices.
New opportunities appear.
Dreams grow bigger.
The future begins pulling them in different directions.
And soon, they will discover that some promises are easy to make—but much harder to keep.
From the classrooms of their youth to life-changing opportunities abroad, Across Miles, Across Dreams is a heartfelt contemporary romance about first love, sacrifice, family, perseverance, and the courage to chase your dreams without losing yourself along the way.
Filled with emotional highs, unforgettable "kilig" moments, family drama, laughter, tears, and a love that refuses to surrender, this inspiring novel reminds us that true love isn't measured by time, distance, or circumstance.
It's measured by the willingness to choose each other—again and again.
