Julian

If I ever caught on fire, Dahlia Mu?oz would fan the flames with a smile.

So, when she returns to Lake Wisteria, I fully intend to avoid the interior designer.

At least until my meddling mother exploits my saviour complex.

The faster I help Dahlia find her creative spark, the sooner she will leave town.

But while I was busy getting rid of Dahlia, I overlooked one potential issue.

What happens if I want her to stay?

Dahlia

People say the devil has many faces, but I know only one.

Julian Lopez - my childhood rival and family frenemy.

I vow to steer clear of him while recovering from my broken engagement, but then the billionaire makes an irresistible offer.

Renovate a historic house together and triple our profits.

Our temporary truce becomes compromised as we face years' worth of denied attraction and mixed emotions.

Giving into our desire is inevitable . . . but falling in love?

That isn't part of the plan.
