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?
