Asher Blackwood. Hockey's golden boy. My husband on paper-a stranger in every other way. To the world, he's untouchable, disciplined, always in control. But behind closed doors, I see the cracks: the late-night shadows, the secrets buried beneath the ice. I never meant to fire his assistant. One impulsive decision, and suddenly I'm not just Mrs. Blackwood-I'm his new right hand, trapped in his world of press conferences, team drama, and infuriating proximity. He says it's temporary. I say he's impossible. But as lines blur and walls come down, I start to wonder: What happens when the arrangement you never wanted becomes the one thing you can't let go of? The worst part? I'm not sure if I'm still playing by the rules... Or if I ever want to.

In the chaos of Delhi, Maitree and Atharva are forced into a partnership that feels more like a business deal than a love story. She brings color, clay, and chaos into his ordered world. He brings silence, secrets, and a locked heart into hers. As they navigate awkward breakfasts, family expectations, and the ache of two strangers sharing a home, they discover that sometimes the most beautiful things are forged in fire-and that even the most guarded hearts can be remade. Can two broken souls create something lasting, or will the cracks be too deep to fill?
