Slow Burn

He is the laird of a proud Scottish clan — his heart shattered and firmly closed to love. She is a lady by birth, a Scot by spirit. Fleeing an unwanted marriage to an Englishman, she accidentally binds her fate to that of a proud Highlander. Their paths cross through a twist of misunderstanding. And the more they resist fate, the stronger the bond between them grows. But pride… pride can tear apart even the strongest of ties.

An illustrator, chaotic, and with a romantic history worthy of a telenovela… or two. Sofía just wanted a peaceful work life, but instead she ends up caught between a mysterious neighbor with a “hiding something” stare and an intense client who thinks singing in cafés is romantic (spoiler: it’s not). But her plans fall apart when, from her new balcony, she witnesses a very suspicious scene on the balcony across the street. A murder? A kidnapping? Or just a weird TikTok dance routine? Between anonymous letters, unjustified jealousy, a mother obsessed with an imaginary boyfriend named “Januel,” and a giant cake with her face on it that literally fell from the sky, Sofía discovers that sometimes love doesn’t come as a fairytale… but as a disaster. Welcome to the chaos. There’s no control.
