𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡, a bright and resilient Bengali girl, moves to America alone to pursue her studies, leaving behind the comfort of familiarity. Navigating a new school, she finds friendship in Claire and Miriam; two girls who quickly become her closest comfort. As she begins to find her footing, Tanya catches the attention of Derrick Oliver, a charming and popular boy on campus. But then, she meets his brother.
𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐯. World-famous Russian model. 'Snow'-blonde hair. Ice-blue eyes. A walking contradiction. Cold, magnetic, unreachable. He's Derrick's older brother... And the very same boy Tanya has secretly adored from afar, behind screens, since she was fourteen.
Meeting him should've been impossible. Despite his aloofness, there's something in his silence that speaks to Tanya. He barely acknowledges her at first. To him, she's just another girl. To her, he's untouchable. But with a little nudge from his brother, cracks begin to form in Darren's icy walls. A hesitant friendship blossoms between them: fragile, complicated, and extremely electric.
As they spend time together, something deeper begins to stir. What starts as a forbidden crush begins to bloom into something real. But with every step closer, new obstacles arise... Because falling for someone like Darren Marakov was never meant to be easy.
