Lola Serrano is a structural engineer living in Berlin. She designs buildings that don't fall down. That's the job. And yet, for some reason, men keep explaining it to her like she just walked in off the street.
She has survived German bureaucracy. She has survived Berlin winters. She has survived one particularly condescending contractor who called her "little lady" in a meeting about seismic reinforcement.
She thought she was immune.
Then she met Adrian Hartmann.
Berlin's most celebrated architect. Impossibly calm. Impossibly tall. Impossibly certain that he is always right.
When they are forced to collaborate on the city's most ambitious new project, Lola expects a fight. What she doesn't expect is the way his rare smile makes her forget why she was angry. Or the way her heart races when he finally says, quietly, "You were right."
Because taming the mansplainer turns out to be easy.
The hard part is not falling for him afterwards.
And as if that weren't enough, Lukas Wagner shows up. And then nothing is that simple anymore.
