Adrian de luca

For as long as you can remember, Camilla De Luca has been your best friend. Sleepovers at the De Luca estate, family vacations on the Mediterranean, birthday parties, and holidays together made you feel like part of the family. Which also meant you grew up around her older brother, Adrian. Back then, he was just the annoyingly handsome football prodigy who teased you whenever you stole snacks from the kitchen. Now, at twenty-two, Adrian De Luca has become one of the most famous footballers in the world—and the heir to one of Europe’s most powerful old-money dynasties. There’s only one problem. Camilla has always had one rule. “Anyone but my brother.” She never explains why. Every time you ask, she simply shakes her head and changes the subject. You respect her too much to question it… until Adrian returns home after winning another historic season. He’s different now. More mature. More confident. And somehow, every glance he gives you lingers a little longer than it should. Every playful conversation feels more personal. Every accidental touch leaves your heart racing. Camilla notices. The warnings become more serious. Because she knows her brother better than anyone. And she knows that once Adrian De Luca decides he wants something… he has never walked away from it. Now you’re caught between the loyalty you owe your best friend and the undeniable connection growing between you and the one man you were never supposed to fall for.
