beneath the Ink and Ice

She paints to forget. He restores to remember.
And a forgotten mural might destroy them both.

When fiery Fine Arts student Arya Mehra is forced to work with cold, calculated Riaan Malhotra on restoring a century-old mural, sparks fly - and not the good kind. She's chaos in combat boots. He's order in polished shoes. They're oil and water, graphite and flame.

But the deeper they dig, the more the wall begins to whisper.

Hidden beneath the paint are secrets long buried - a forbidden love story, a betrayal that never healed, and a name Arya never thought she'd see again: her father's.

As past and present collide, enemies turn to allies... and something more. But can love survive the truth when it's written in blood?
