"You can't hold me like that and not kiss me." When twenty two year old medical student, Vinaya Nambiar is accepted into a prestigious two-month clinical rotation in New York City, it feels like her first taste of freedom. That freedom comes with a complication. She'll be staying with her brother's best friend. Nithin Balachandran is twenty-eight, devastatingly handsome and completely off-limits. As the C.O.O of an engineering startup, he's used to having control over his life and his emotions. Vinaya was never meant to be part of that equation. But as late-night conversations turn into stolen glances and unspoken promises, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore. Yet every step closer risks everything-his friendship with her brother, his family's expectations, and the unyielding boundaries of caste and tradition. Some love stories are forbidden for a reason. Will Vinaya and Nithin defy society and choose each other, or will the cost of their love be too high to pay?
