The Ghost's Heart by VashnaviSrivastava

Justice is her mission. Mystery is his. The first time I saw him, it was just another case-a face with no name, a shadow called "The Ghost." The second time, I caught a glimpse of something deeper, something raw beneath his cool exterior. But by the third time, I knew I was in trouble. This wasn't just an investigation anymore; it was a dangerous, forbidden pull that left me craving answers... and maybe even more. He's the kind of man I should run from. The kind of man who makes me question everything I've ever stood for. But the more I try to stay away, the closer I'm drawn into his world-a world where secrets and lies blur with desire and risk. So, what now? Do I chase him, catch him, expose him? Or do I give in to the one thing I never thought I'd feel... for a man I'm meant to destroy? Dive into my story, and join me as I walk the thin line between justice and passion. Because, honestly? I don't know how it will end-but I know it's a journey I can't resist.
