The Crossing Paths

Book 1: The Crossing Paths (Between the Lines #1)

She just wanted a fresh start. He wanted no part of anything new.

When Prachi walks into college, she expects chaos, confusion, maybe even friendship-but definitely not Abhimanyu. A senior cloaked in silence, watching the world from behind unreadable eyes.

To the rest of the college, he's cold, distant, untouchable. But underneath that calm is a storm he's spent years suppressing.

Raised in the aftermath of love that broke more than it built, Abhimanyu has only seen the dark side of relationships. Parents who stayed together for appearances. Friends who tore each other apart in the name of forever. He's witnessed enough mess to know-love ruins everything.

And so, he made a vow: no attachments. No drama. No distractions.

But then came Prachi-quiet in all the ways that matter, bold in the ways that break through. She doesn't chase, she notices. She doesn't demand, but somehow, she understands.

As their paths keep crossing in the most inconvenient ways, tension builds. Slowly. Beautifully. Brutally.

Because what happens when the person who threatens to unravel your defenses... is also the first one who sees right through them?
