Silence was her only sanctuary. Until he broke it.
Zoya Khanna didn't come to London for a fairy tale; she came for the quiet. Escaping the suffocating expectations of a wealthy, traditional family in India, the aspiring architect finds peace in the anonymous roar of the city and the rhythmic scratch of her pencil in a dark university studio.
Then there's Julian Sterling. Polished, brilliant, and seemingly perfect, he is the "Golden Boy" who offers her a world of safety-one that feels suspiciously like the cage she just left behind.
But fate has other plans, and they usually arrive in the form of Caspian Thorne. A prickly, brilliant tech-repair guy who sleeps through his classes and wakes up for trouble, Caspian is everything Zoya should avoid. Yet, when a simple glitch in her laptop uncovers a dark thread of Julian's "perfect" project, Zoya is pulled into a dangerous game of codes, shadows, and a past she can't outrun.
In a city built on secrets, Zoya must decide: Is the man she trusts her greatest protector, or the very danger she's been running from?
How do you build a future when the foundation is made of lies?
