A hilarious, heartwarming romance from celebrated Brazilian author Paula Ottoni about finding happiness in unexpected places — maybe even in your very own apartment...

To find true happiness, they’ll have to fake it first.

Sol Carvalho desperately wants to get ahead in her career — and where better to do that than Copenhagen, the happiest city on earth? But there’s more to this place than cozy sweaters and hot cocoa; there’s a rich, vibrant culture the Brazilian game developer is eager to drink in. Especially since her boss wants to hand a promotion to someone who’s ready to put down roots in Denmark — which means having a steady place to live and an even steadier significant other. And Sol, unfortunately, has neither.

Unless she can convince Viking look-alike Erik Storm to be her roommate...and maybe even her fake boyfriend?

But Erik lost everything the last time he got involved with a roommate, including the app he’d developed. Convincing him to take a risk on her is a big ask, but Sol is up for the challenge. As long as she can ignore how he fills a room with that broad chest and somehow makes stoic brooding look sexy.

Instead, she’ll win him over with the end goal: her promotion will bring down their mutual tech nemesis. Before long, though, the lines between what’s fake and what’s real blur. And when their ruse reaches its boiling point, they’ll both have to decide: should they trust their hearts to a roommate this time?

If any place can turn two best friends into lovers, it’s Venice. Well, only if you don’t have a dreamy tour guide like Lorenzo...

For LA chef Daisy Hogan, this trip to Venice is the start of her new life — inspiration for her California restaurant, saying yes to stability and basically fulfilling all her dad’s dreams. But then the trip goes sideways. And she’s left in the most romantic city in the world with her best friend Jeremy. He’s stable, reliable. If she wants to salvage the future she planned, maybe she should fall for her friend?

So they agree to a friends-to-lovers project. What could go wrong?

Enter Lorenzo Fontana, hotel concierge by day, violinist in his dreams. He gave up music for a practical life in the city he loves, and to keep his job, he’s vowed to be Daisy and Jeremy’s personal guide to romance. Only he’s not supposed to be feeling this personal about their project...

With racing hearts and longing glances and gondola rides, Daisy begins questioning the project, her plans and even her future. Is it possible to live a life where the dreams she’s fulfilling are her own?
