A building can be bought. A home has to be chosen. Marisol Reyes has spent her life earning every inch of respect, award-winning architect, community advocate, and the woman determined to turn a tired Boyle Heights building into La Casa Puente, a space her neighborhood can finally claim. Then tabloid-famous billionaire Mateo Serrano's company buys the property, and her furious confrontation with him goes viral. Now the whole city is watching. Mateo offers a lease concession that could save La Casa Puente, but only if Mari becomes the lead designer on his most high-profile renovation. Daily site visits. Public scrutiny. A deadline that can't fail. The man she can't stand becomes the man she can't stop thinking about. Mari refuses to be bought. Mateo refuses to lose control. But when a single leaked clause threatens to destroy Mari's credibility, the line between power and devotion snaps. To win her trust, Mateo will have to surrender the one thing he's always used to protect himself. If love is a lease, who holds the keys, and who gets to call it home?
