Until then... keep guessing who the main leads might be. The answers lie in the moments you've already read or the ones you're yet to discover.....just look closer.

Built on boundaries, history, and timing. But when hearts get involved, logic loses all meaning. What starts as harmless teasing soon becomes something deeper, something dangerous... And once fate has made its move, there's no turning back. Note: The title of this book may change during the writing process if something more fitting strikes. And the cover? Just a temporary placeholder for now. The final version will reveal itself... when the time is right. Stay tuned for more!

Mishika Jaiswal has always lived in fear-of raised voices, of clenched fists, of a home that never felt like one. When her father forces her into an arranged marriage, she obeys, hoping for an escape, only to find herself bound to a man whose rage reminds her too much of the past she longs to forget. Anirudh Mehrotra is feared in boardrooms and whispered about in hushed tones. His anger has chased away every woman his parents tried to tie him to-until now. Mishika doesn't run. She doesn't cower. But she does flinch, and that single act shakes something inside him he never knew existed. He wasn't meant to love. She wasn't meant to hope. She fears the fire in his eyes. He fears the ghosts in hers. She flinches at his anger. He shatters at her silence. Bound by silence and obligation, their marriage was never meant to be more than a contract. Yet, somewhere between his fury and her quiet strength, something begins to shift. Can a man consumed by rage learn to protect the only person who truly sees him? Can fire and glass coexist without one shattering the other? Or will he end up destroying the only woman who ever looked beyond his wrath? Perhaps love isn't their weakness-perhaps, it's their only way to survive. (This book is set to begin either in the last week of July or the first week of August.)
