**He was the fire-burning bright, untamed, and unforgiving. I was the silk-strong yet delicate, torn but unyielding. Together, we were a story waiting to be rewritten.**
Krishna Oberoi is the man everyone admires but no one truly knows. The CEO of Oberoi Industries, he's as sharp as his tailored suits and just as intimidating. To the world, he's a flawless billionaire-arrogant, brilliant, and unshakably cold. To his loved ones, he's warm, funny, and fiercely protective. But one thing is certain: he hates lies, and he has no patience for love-two scars of a past he refuses to confront. Yet even the fire in Krishna can't extinguish the memory of Kisha Kapoor, the one person who dared to challenge him.
Kisha Kapoor is the sunshine to Krishna's storm, a junior OBGYN with a heart as big as her dreams. Kind, witty, and secretly a little broken, she hides her family's wealth behind a simple life devoted to her patients. But Kisha's greatest secret is her love for Krishna, the boy she once called her best friend. A misunderstanding in their final year of college tore them apart, and for five years, she's waited-silently longing, quietly hoping, and fiercely guarding her heart.
When their paths cross again at Oberoi Hospital, the air between them crackles with tension, banter, and the unspoken truths of their past. Can Kisha's kindness thaw Krishna's icy walls? Will Krishna's fire ignite the love they've both buried for too long? Or will the flames of their misunderstandings burn brighter than their love ever could?
**He was the fire, and I was the silk. He was burning, and I burned with him.**
Hey there! I'm Shreyashi, and *The Silk's Fire* is my debut novel. It's an emotional, funny, and heart-tugging slow-burn story about love, misunderstandings, and the courage it takes to face your heart's deepest truths. Come join me on this journey of passion, friendships, heartbreak, and redemption-you might just lose yourself in the fire.
