Embittered by her past, Kiara Chatterjee chooses to move to London and start afresh. As a surgeon who's always in demand, the last thing she needs is any kind of distraction, AKA, a romantic interest. She loves her privacy as much as her sleep, but much to her chagrin, she's forced to share her appartment with her frustratingly handsome neighbor (and enemy), after a mishap.
Never the one to believe in fairytales, she soon finds out that her roommate might be able to break her notions on love.
__________________________________________________
Kim Seo Joon believes he's a charmer, and rightfully so. When he meets his new Indian neighbor, sparks fly, only, in a not so positive way. To say she frustrates him without trying would be an understatement.
A criminal attorney who always looks at things as evidence and people as witnesses, Seo Joon quickly realises his neighbor-turned-roommate could probably be the only person he trusts with his heart.
Tropes:
• Enemies to lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Fake dating
• Indo- Korean
• Slow burn
