Every beginning has ghosts. Every kiss carries the weight of what came before.
She wasn't supposed to fall again.
Not after the storm she survived.
But then came a man who listened, who stayed - who saw her scars and didn't flinch.
Shiv wasn't supposed to look back.
Not when he'd built a life from nothing.
But then came a woman whose voice felt like home - and whose past held more of his truth than he ever expected.
They thought surviving was the hard part.
But love? Love is harder.
Especially when ghosts return in the form of a mother who abandoned him...
And a past that refuses to stay buried.
As Akshara and Shiv step into a fragile new beginning, old enemies resurface, secrets come unraveled, and danger begins to circle.
They've found each other.
But will the world let them keep what they've finally built?
This is not a story about falling in love.
It's about choosing it. Every day. Even when it hurts.
Even when it's terrifying.
Even when the past claws back.
A canon-woven story - Book 2 in the "Jaan Ban Gaye" series.
For lovers of slow burn, second chances, and deeply flawed, quietly burning people.
