Serendipity:
"It was just dinner at my brother's house. That's all it was supposed to be."
Inara Sharma never meant to fall for Shubman Gill.
As the fiercely private 22-year-old sister of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, love wasn't on her checklist-especially not with her brother's teammate. Especially not with him.
He was cricket's golden boy, charming without trying, and way too off-limits.
She was chasing a CA dream, healing from a breakup, and determined never to trust a man again.
But sometimes, love doesn't knock. It collides.
"You know this can't happen," Inara whispered, her voice trembling as her back pressed against the kitchen wall.
Shubman's eyes didn't flinch. "Then why are you still standing here?"
Their story began with casual glances at a team dinner. It grew in the silence of late-night texts under anonymous usernames. And it turned into a slow-burning chaos neither of them could control.
But when secrets unfold, loyalty is tested, and her past resurfaces in the form of a man who never stopped loving her-Inara must choose between comfort and courage.
"You don't get to show up now, Shubman."
"I didn't show up," he murmured. "I never left."
As hearts tangle and boundaries blur, will Inara risk breaking everything for a love that was never meant to happen?
Or was it always written in the stars?
"Sometimes, the wrong time is exactly when the right person arrives."
"Falling in love with you wasn't a choice. Staying away was."
"In a room full of people, I looked at you like you were the only one who mattered-and that was my first mistake."
"He wasn't a love story. He was a plot twist."

A love that crossed the boundary line. A girl who didn't believe in luck. And a boy who made her believe in fate.
