He lied. He cheated. And he left her shattered.

Alina should hate Ayaan forever. But when a wedding invite drags her back to Bangalore. To the chaos she thought she'd escaped, the past claws its way back.

Then Aariz shows up.
Dark. Magnetic. And the only man who makes her pulse race and her mind spiral.

Forced into a fake relationship to silence nosy relatives, every glance, every brush of skin between them sparks a dangerous game neither wants to lose.

Determined to take back control of her life, Alina returns to Chicago, ready to win the one thing that could change everything: an elite leadership fellowship and valedictorian title, her golden ticket to top startup investors and real power.

Only to find Aariz in her class.

Older. Wealthier. And her fiercest rival. The guy who doesn't need the prize, but wants it just as badly.

His plan? Distract her. Break her focus. Steal her #1 spot in class.
What he didn't plan for? Wanting her more than the win.

They hate each other with a passion louder than their silence.
He's cold, calculated, and dangerous in ways she shouldn't crave.
She's fire, and he's the one who keeps getting burned.

Torn between a past that broke her and a present that could destroy her, Alina's done being anyone's victim.

This time? She's taking it all. Her heart, her future, her power.

And if either of them thinks she'll fall again?

They're dead wrong.

No promises. No mercy.
Just a war for the top, and a chemistry that could burn them both to the ground.

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~

The way she played with her hands when she's nervous or made snarky remarks whenever he walked into a room. He hates her with every fibre of his being. She hated him. With every fibre of her being. With his sarcastic comments and devilish grin. She hated the way he never would address her politely, or at all for that matter. He was rude and annoying and she hated it all. Everything about him. She couldn't stand it. But then again, there's a very thin line between hate and love... - Dark romance - Enemies to lovers - Arranged marriage. - Forced proximity. - Revenge.
