He smirked when I glared. "Relax, Farhana. I'm only flirting with you so you don't cause me more trouble." My jaw dropped. "Excuse me?" Baseer leaned closer, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Think of it as a deal. I distract you, you stop plotting against me. Simple." It was supposed to be a game. Just banter. Just fake smiles. Just fake friendship. Until it wasn't. Because somewhere between the teasing, the fake promises, and the late-night confessions, my heart stopped knowing the difference. And his eyes told me-neither did he. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Baseer Ali × Farhana Bhat A flirt turned real. A rivalry turned fragile friendship. A friendship turned love. He only wanted peace. She only wanted to win. But love? Love had its own plans. What started as pretend became the one thing neither of us could walk away from. And maybe, just maybe...

Wall Street financier David Powers is a man of rules. Rules for success. Rules for power. And, most important, rules for dating. No blondes, no under-26-year-olds, and definitely no one who works for him. Penny is his assistant, a young woman working for him in order to pay for Yale Medical School. She's smart, she's snarky, and she definitely doesn't have a huge crush on her boss. Tensions rise as the two slowly realize that their feelings for each other are growing far beyond the professional. But when Penny quits after false rumours of them sleeping together start to spread, David is faced with a choice: stick to his rules or desperately try to track down the woman he's fallen in love with. As Penny struggles to decide what life she wants to live, David's long-held beliefs are being tested like never before as he attempts to get her back. Together, they will have to see past each other's flaws and trauma in order to realize that, in business and love, some rules are meant to be broken.
