Serena Vella isn't one to follow the rules. With her boundary-pushing personality and trouble-making lifestyle, she's used to living life on her own terms. However, at the age of 19, Serena's world is turned upside down when she learns that her future has already been decided for her. Her family has allied with the Vincenzo family deal that involves Serena and Giovanni Vincenzo's son, Damian.
Damian Vincenzo doesn't dwell on the past. Cold and calculating, Damian is a man who commands respect and loyalty. With a ruthless reputation and no remorse, he leads with an iron fist. When he's informed of his arranged marriage to Serena, he sees it as little more than a formality-a duty to his family's power. But what Damian doesn't realize is that Serena isn't just some pawn in a deal. She has just as much power-if not more-than anyone gives her credit for, and anyone who underestimates her will soon regret it.
Forced to live together under the same roof, Damian's stubborn attitude clashes with Serena's fiery independence. While he might act like she has no say in the matter, he's starting to realize there's more to her than he anticipated. As for Serena, she's beginning to feel something she never expected-something more than frustration.
But their stubbornness may be their biggest obstacle. Can they learn to embrace their fate and the undeniable chemistry between them, or will their pride keep them from finding a way forward?

"Estefania De Luca," she answered him as his smirk slowly turned into a smile. She wanted to break free from him and run to her father, but she knew that would only cause a bigger mess for her to clean up and she did not want to get into trouble with Dominic. Her father already was.
She watched as he slowly turned to her father and laughed. "De Luca I didn't know your little daughter was so adorable," he said while her father just groaned out in pain. She instinctively tried to move forward only to be roughly yanked back by Dominic. "How old are you again kitten?"
Stef tried to turn to her mother but he took her chin in his big hands and forced her to look at him. "I..I just turned eighteen," she forced out of her mouth.
