He thought fate was giving him a second chance at love-until he discovers that she is the reason he lost faith in love.
⸻
When Khushi joins her sister's tech firm, she doesn't expect to work alongside the enigmatic Armaan-a man whose calm exterior hides a storm of memories. To her, he's a stranger. But to him, she was once everything.
Haunted by a love that never had a chance to begin, Armaan has buried the boy he used to be. But as their paths cross again, and the walls between them begin to blur, he faces a choice: keep running from the past... or risk everything for a second chance she doesn't even know he wants.
ICE & EMBER is a story of two hearts scarred by time. One forgotten past and a love quietly waiting to be remembered.
