What Once Was

Luca, a smart and effortlessly charming Italian stuck in the monotony of everyday life, doesn’t expect anything to change. That is, until Isabella walks in and throws his whole world off balance. There’s just something about her: Spanish, gorgeous, and impossible to ignore. She’s the kind of girl who turns heads without even trying. The only problem? She happens to be Diego’s sister, the guy who once broke a guy’s nose just for flirting with her. He knows it’s a bad idea. He tells himself to back off. But one harmless glance turns into late-night texts, and then… well, things get messy. The chemistry between them is electric, and the tension? Pretty much impossible to ignore. Now he’s stuck somewhere between desire and disaster, and the clock’s ticking. Because if this thing between them keeps heating up… something’s going to explode.
