She saw him once... and decided he was going to be hers. At twenty, Ava Mehra has never backed away from anything she wanted. So when one chance encounter on a moonlit rooftop leaves her hopelessly captivated by the cold, untouchable CEO Kartik Kapoor, she doesn't wait for fate to do the work. She becomes his executive assistant. Confesses first. And declares war on the walls around his heart. Kartik has spent his life believing emotions are distractions. She's seven years younger, the daughter of his business partner, and absolutely off-limits. Saying no should have been easy. It wasn't. What begins as an impossible attraction soon turns into a love neither of them can escape. But love isn't the only battle they must fight. Family expectations, an unwanted engagement, dangerous secrets, and the fear of losing each other threaten to tear them apart before they ever get the chance to build a future together. Some love stories begin with destiny. Theirs began with one stubborn girl... and one man who never stood a chance.
