Pakhi Rao believed in forever - until the boy she trusted shattered her heart after a two-year relationship. Betrayed and broken, she leaves behind everything familiar and transfers to a new college, determined to rebuild her life. Here, no one knows her past. No one knows her pain. It's a clean slate- or so she hopes. Enter Kiash Tanwar He's everything Pakhi can't stand-arrogant, magnetic, egoistic. With a jawline sharp enough to cut glass and an ego even sharper, Kiash rules the campus like it's his personal kingdom. Every interaction between them is a battle of words, and neither of them backs down. But beneath the friction lies something else-a growing tension neither of them can ignore. As they're thrown together by fate, forced to spend time in ways neither expected, sparks begin to fly. The walls they built around themselves begin to crumble. Pakhi never planned to feel again. She certainly never planned to fall... especially not for someone like him. But love doesn't ask for permission. And sometimes, the second time around is even more powerful than the first. Is Pakhi ready to risk her heart again? For a boy who just might be the exact opposite of everything she thought she needed?
