Summary
Harry Styles (24) has built an empire out of silk and spite. The British-born fashion designer and model is infamous for his sharp cheekbones, sharper tongue, and a villa overlooking Lake Como where he hides from the world—surrounded by beauty, drowning in boredom. When Louis Tomlinson, a messy, barefoot artist with paint under his nails and too much heart for his own good, arrives in Italy on a family holiday, their worlds collide in the least elegant way imaginable: over a spilled espresso and a ruined sketchbook.
Louis Tomlinson (28.) doesn’t mean to offend the Harry Styles—he just wanted to sketch the view. But when the notoriously private designer storms his table in a linen suit and sunglasses at dusk, sparks fly… and not the romantic kind, at least not yet.
What begins as a clash between cynicism and idealism turns into a slow, intoxicating connection. Louis finds himself intrigued by the contradictions in Harry’s life: the perfectionist surrounded by chaos, the man adored by millions yet perpetually lonely. Harry, in turn, can’t resist the warmth in Louis’ laughter or the way his art sees people instead of headlines.
