Two lawyers. One courtroom. And a hatred sharp enough to draw blood. Saanvi Mehra has clawed her way to the top-brilliant, sharp-tongued, and unbreakable. She's earned her place in a world that was never built for her. And she's not about to lose it. Especially not to Veer Raizada. Veer is composed. Cruel. Untouchable. And for reasons Saanvi can't decipher, he loathes her with a quiet intensity that burns. Every case between them is war. Every glance, a challenge. Every word, laced with something too dangerous to name. He wants to see her fall. She refuses to give him the satisfaction. But in a world where truth is twisted and history is buried- what happens when hate stops being safe? A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance brimming with sharp banter, long-buried secrets, and the kind of tension that leaves scars.

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
