Luca Moretti

Valoria Saverara has everything: an old-money name, a sprawling mansion filled with timeless elegance, and a beauty that opens doors without her surname. At 5’7, she has long, silky brown hair that falls into perfect natural curls, a gorgeous face, and a figure shaped by years of figure skating. Calm, cool, and observant, Valoria notices every detail and forgets nothing. She speaks little, thinks several steps ahead, and can make someone feel insignificant with one cold look. Rude to nearly everyone outside her close circle, she’s spoiled but never showy, and so nonchalant it’s hard to read her. Still, she hates being alone, and clowns terrify her so badly that seeing one can send her into a crying meltdown. Lucas Moretti is her opposite. At 6’2 with messy brown hair, defined abs, strong biceps, and a face that gets him practically any girl he wants, he knows he’s attractive. Loud, funny, teasing, and energetic, Lucas fills every silence with a joke and treats life like one big opportunity to annoy Valoria. He grew up wealthy in a sleek modern mansion with his sister Lauren. They’re both spoiled, but Lucas is the one who shows it. Valoria and Lucas have hated each other since high school, turning every encounter into an argument. Lauren, Valoria’s best friend and Lucas’s sister, is forever stuck playing referee, trying to stop them from tearing each other apart. Their rivalry gets messier when studying abroad puts them in each other’s orbit with no easy escape. Every sharp remark and lingering glance threatens to turn hatred into something neither is prepared to admit. Valoria has one secret she’d rather die than confess: she’s lactose intolerant. Only Lauren and her brother Leo know, because surviving dairy is apparently easier than admitting defeat. Between old grudges, forced proximity, and feelings neither wants, these enemies might discover that the person who drives them craziest is the one they can’t stop noticing.
