In the ruthless world of high fashion, 23-year-old intern Samriddhi enters Vallentis International with stars in her eyes - unaware that her path is about to cross with the man who owns the very ground she walks on. Shaurya Malhotra, 29, CEO of Vallentis, is cold, calculating, and carved in control. What begins with a stolen glance at Fashion Week spirals into an intoxicating storm of power, obsession, and forbidden desire. Shaurya is a man used to dominance, but something about Samriddhi makes him unravel - slowly, cruelly, completely. "They warned you about men like me. But what they didn't tell you... is how good it would feel to fall anyway." - Shaurya Malhotra "You're everything I shouldn't want. But somehow... I want nothing else." - Samriddhi Mehra Secrets, shadows, and unspoken truths twist around them as Samriddhi is pulled deeper into Shaurya's world - a world where control is everything... and love might be the ultimate surrender.
