TOLERABLE

A proud architect from São Paulo. An arrogant rancher from Goiás. And the insult that defines everything: "He's tolerable, but not interesting enough to tempt me." When Lucas Silva, an architect for São Paulo's elite, overhears Pedro Marquês, a millionaire rancher from Goiás, dismiss him with those words, the mutual dislike is instant. Lucas is trying to save the family construction company; Pedro protects his heart with firm prejudices. **From that moment on, they detest each other.** And yet Brazil—between the halls of the Jockey Club and the red sunsets of the Cerrado—keeps bringing them together. Can pride yield to desire? Can prejudice fall before truth? • • Enemies to lovers: Sharp tension, sparkling dialogue, and an attraction impossible to ignore. • • Slow burn romance: A gradual combustion that builds scene by scene until it becomes inevitable. • • Austen inspiration: A modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice , with social irony and contemporary perspective. • • Brazilian identity: São Paulo vs. Goiás: class, family, business, and the harsh beauty of the Cerrado. • • Emotional LGBTQ+ romance: Two men who must change to deserve what they feel.
