Against the Rules is a heart-racing, slow-burn romance that explores passion, ambition, and the price of breaking the rules. Clara has always played by the book—until life rewrote the script. A surprise pregnancy from a fleeting romance in Paris leaves her jobless and alone in Brazil. But when she lands her dream position at one of São Paulo's top interior design firms, she's ready to rebuild, no distractions allowed. Enter Rafael: a brilliant, charming architect with a smile that could shatter her resolve. Their chemistry is instant. Electric. But there's one problem—company policy strictly forbids workplace relationships. As they work side by side on a high-stakes project, Clara and Rafael find it impossible to ignore the growing attraction that simmers beneath every glance, every late-night meeting, every accidental touch. When desire collides with ambition, rules are meant to be broken. Clara must choose: protect the career she's fought to rebuild or risk it all for a chance at a love that might be worth everything.
