Welcome to the sun-drenched, sophisticated, and utterly chaotic world where high fashion meets high finance, and where family love is the loudest thing in the room. This is the story of Isla Dunphy, a fashionista with the sharp business instincts of her mother, Claire, and the dramatic flair of her aunt, Gloria. Isla thrives in the polished world of luxury brands, determined to build her own empire far away from the suburbs-until a serendipitous collision introduces her to Ethan Vance.
Ethan is the heir to a global industrial fortune, handsome, privileged, and suffocating under the rigid expectations of his traditional family. He's searching for freedom through art, while his parents only see quarterly reports. Their meeting on a college tour sparks an immediate, electric connection. As their romance ignites, their two wildly different families-the loud, loving, perpetually interfering Dunphys and Pritchetts, and the cool, controlling, ultra-wealthy Vances-are forced into a hilarious and high-stakes collision. Isla and Ethan must navigate dramatic corporate rivalries, international scandals, and their own conflicting ambitions to prove that a Dunphy and a Vance can create a life, and a future, more beautiful and surprising than anyone ever expected.
