The year CARMEN turned twenty-one, she did two things that rocked Europe.
First, she turned down an arranged engagement to royalty.
Second, she turned around and started dating Cristiano Ronaldo.
Later, she did a third thing.
She dumped Ronaldo, too.
She couldn't help it. The thing she feared most was staying for a man.
A prince had pursued her, a racing driver had loved her, an American "prince" had proposed, and she'd been linked to a Hollywood superstar. Six albums, three Grammys, and one hit single after another. Any one of her exes could keep the tabloids busy for half a year.
Cristiano didn't mind.
He only cared about two things:
When his darling would come home.
And why the song she wrote about him still hadn't reached number one.
CARMEN: "Do you have a number-one obsession?"
The following week, his new single hit number one.
He was satisfied.
Everyone said that CARMEN was the hardest match Cristiano Ronaldo would ever have to win.
He said they were wrong.
"She's not a trophy."
"What if she runs away?"
Cristiano smiled.
"Then I'll chase her."
The runaway pop queen can run all she wants. The world's number-one man is the best at chasing.
1v1, with Cristiano Ronaldo as the male lead. The female lead is a global superstar with exes and a romantic history. They date and break up like normal people.
Shares a universe with Kissing the Son of God. Valentina and CARMEN meet through The Great Gatsby and become friends, only to realize: Wait, your boyfriend and my boyfriend are teammates at Real Madrid?
