THE DEAL
Luca Bellandi has everything.
The looks.
The charm.
The wealthy family.
The soccer career.
And a future waiting for him at his father's company.
There's just one problem-he's failing.
With one semester left to prove he's worthy of inheriting the family business, Luca needs someone who can turn his grades around.
Enter Celeste Ravelle.
She's the top student in their class, fiercely independent, painfully private, and completely uninterested in Luca-or anyone else.
She has one goal: graduate, save enough money to open the boutique she's always dreamed of, and build a life of her own.
So when Luca offers her $50,000 to tutor him, Celeste makes a deal.
She'll help him pass.
He'll pay her.
Simple.
At least, that's what they thought.
Because somewhere between late-night study sessions, arguments, stolen smiles, and getting to know the person behind the reputation, their carefully made deal begins to become something neither of them planned for.
Luca was never supposed to fall for the girl he barely noticed.
Celeste was never supposed to fall for the boy she couldn't stand.
And when love collides with wealth, family expectations, and a future Luca has spent his entire life fighting for, they'll discover that some deals come with a price neither of them expected to pay.
They made a deal to change their futures.
They never planned on changing each other.
