    ​"What do you do when you are forced to breathe the same air as the love of your life, but you aren't allowed to touch?" ​Eden is cynical, armed to the teeth with irony, and allergic to happy endings. Jay is a man of terrifying lucidity, methodical, and with only one certainty: he wants her, with no filters and no prewritten scripts. When they choose each other, they know they are a danger to one another. ​But fate has a different kind of cruelty in store. Bound by a ruthless family duty and an unexpected blackmail, Jay is forced to walk away and put on the mask of the executioner. ​Months later, she finds him waiting for her at the office. As her new boss. ​Trapped in the same space, separated by a wall of ice that Eden builds to survive and Jay tries to demolish with his hands tied, their proximity becomes an emotional gas chamber. He cannot touch her, yet he can't bear the chill between them. And as external pressures tighten their grip, Jay's ironclad self-control begins to fracture, giving way to a lucid madness and a visceral obsession. ​A tense, claustrophobic, and merciless dark romance, where love doesn't save you: it consumes you. Author's Note: This is not a fanfiction.

    Advait Mann and Meher Kapoor were never meant to coexist- let alone fall in love. At the prestigious Delhi Institute of Elite Studies, they were known for one thing: their rivalry. Cold glares, sharp words, and a hatred so intense that it became impossible to ignore. But fate had a twisted sense of humor. When their families decide to turn an old friendship into a lifelong bond, Advait and Meher are forced into an arrangement neither of them wants- an engagement that feels more like a punishment than a promise. Living under the same expectations, fighting the same battles, and slowly discovering the cracks behind each other's perfect facades... hate begins to blur. What starts as a war of egos turns into something far more dangerous- feelings. But love was never simple for them. With broken pasts, unhealed wounds, and truths that threaten to tear them apart, they must decide- Do they hold on to the hate that kept them safe? Or risk everything for a love they never believed in?
