As a cancer-survivor, she doesn't have the time nor need for men in her life. Especially after a series of disappointed hopes in love and remissions leaves her afraid of sharing herself with others - especially fickle men. When Will Darcy enters her life, she is forced to reassess whether it's worth risking her heart to love again, or better to carry on the path she has carved out for herself.

Deciding to study in the states to get away from the pressures of living in a country where he is considered a pseudo-celebrity, he is focused, hard-working, and determined to grow his family's wealth management firm. Women have taken a back seat to his ambitions as he prepares himself to become the next CEO of G.W.D Financial. Everything is going according to plan until one day, a beautiful brunette walks into one of his business lectures and nothing is the same again.

Aarna never thought two pink lines could shake her world.

Would he accept it? Or would he push her away again, just like before?
The door creaked open. Her heart pounded.
Sharad's sharp gaze met hers. "What are you hiding?"
Her breath hitched. She wasn't ready for this. Not yet.
