He's the arrogant Italian lawyer she can't stand. She's the one woman he's never been able to forget. Living together was never part of the plan... until fate made them roommates.

Lucas has it all: charm, power, and a successful law career on the rise in Italy. But behind the suits and smug smirks hides a man haunted by his past—and a woman he's never let go of. Marianna Ferreira. She was his weakness. His secret. His obsession. And he thought she was gone for good... until she shows up in Brazil, living under the same roof.

Marianna is a passionate architect with big dreams and a plan for her future. What she didn't plan for? Crashing into Lucas Bianchi—the grumpy, maddeningly attractive man who's always known how to get under her skin. He's also her best friend's cousin. And now... her unexpected housemate.

What begins as sharp banter and mutual hatred quickly ignites into something much hotter. But as old wounds resurface and buried emotions boil over, Marianna must decide if the one man she swore to avoid... might be the only one she truly wants.
