Samyuktha Sharma is an ER doctor who's devoted to saving lives-but can't seem to heal her own. After being betrayed by the only man she ever loved, she built walls around her heart and locked the doors.

Abir Rajvanshi is everything she never wanted-rude, arrogant, emotionally unavailable. A man who doesn't believe in love. Or God. Or happy endings.

When an arranged marriage forces them together, they agree to keep things simple: live under one roof, stay out of each other's way, and keep emotions out of it.

But nothing about this is simple.

But something just as powerful-and just as risky.
|Because when two broken people try to pretend it doesn't matter...
It always does.|
