𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 • 𝐕𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 - is a man built on control-ruthless in business, feared in boardrooms, and impossible to challenge. Anger runs in his veins, and love has never been part of his equation. • 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐚 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐥 - is everything he is not-soft-hearted, brilliant, and full of light. A student stepping into a world far too cold for her warmth... until fate ties her to the one man she should never cross paths with. An arranged marriage binds them together. Two strangers. Two completely different worlds. One roof. He believes emotions are a weakness. She believes even the hardest hearts can learn to love. But between his temper and her sunshine, between distance and closeness, something dangerous begins to grow-something neither of them planned. Because sometimes, love doesn't arrive gently. It arrives when two opposites are forced to stay... and slowly learn not to let go.
