Apsara and Alaric have been neighbors, and rivals, for as long as they can remember. She's got a boyfriend, a normal life, and zero time for his constant teasing. He's the annoying, smirking guy who somehow makes her blood boil. But when a late-night kiss shatters their carefully maintained rivalry, everything changes. Suddenly, the lines between hate and something much, much more start to blur. With their shared past tangled up in present drama, can Apsara and Alaric figure out what they really mean to each other before it's too late?

Five years ago, she left him without a warning. Broke his heart into pieces. But now? Now, she's back - in his workplace, in his space, in his head. Aarav Malhotra was ready to give Nithiya Varundavan everything - his heart, his future, his forever. But on a cold December night, she ended it all and walked away like it meant nothing. He never forgot her. She never explained why. And neither of them ever really moved on. Now reunited at the same firm in London, the air between them crackles with unresolved tension. Heated glances. Friction-filled meetings. Every moment teetering between fury and something far more dangerous. Love like theirs doesn't disappear. It simmers. And when it reignites... it burns.
