And suddenly, she no longer saw a brother-but the one man her heart couldn't resist. What Taraksha doesn't know is that Aanan has been hiding a truth deeper than time: for 5 years, he's loved her from afar. Loved her in silence. Loved her so fiercely, he drove away every man who came close-even while knowing she was never his to claim. Until now. As past boundaries blur and long-held secrets crack open, Taraksha must face a heart-shattering question: What do you do when the one man you love was always right in front of you... but the last one you're supposed to want?
