When my boss shipped me off to Rome for three months to cover football – a sport I know next to nothing about – I thought it was going to be a disaster.
And then I met Matteo Rossi.
Smug, arrogant, and so infuriatingly full of himself, Matteo is the very definition of a walking ego.
Unfortunately for me, he’s also maddeningly gorgeous and the star player everyone’s obsessed with.
I should’ve brushed off his irritating smirks and infuriating one-liners, but the media caught onto our on-camera tension, and suddenly, the world is obsessed with the so-called ‘banter’ between us – apparently oblivious to the fact that we honest-to-god cannot stand each other.
Now, my boss wants me to work with Matteo more often to boost views, Matteo is loving every second of my discomfort, and I’m stuck spending way more time with a man who pushes all my buttons…for better or worse.
But the more I get to know him, the more I wonder: is Matteo really the insufferable asshole I pegged him as, or have I been too quick to judge?
The lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous are blurring fast.
And when it comes to Matteo Rossi…losing might just mean falling.
