, Aarav is used to designing love in algorithms, not falling for it himself. But something about Niyati's defiance ignites a part of him he thought was long buried. And when a media conference throws them into the same room-and the same deal-he makes her an offer she can't refuse... or escape.
Three weeks.
One contract.
Zero promises of safety.
But obsession has rules of its own. As passion and secrets spiral out of control, Niyati finds herself pulled into a dangerous game of power, protection, and a man who loves too much-and too darkly.
He wants her.
He needs her.
And he might just destroy both of them in the process.
Perfect for fans of: dark obsession, forced proximity, redemption arcs, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers set against an Indian backdrop
