Seven years ago, he was just a fling. She was just a girl who wanted more.
Now she's the woman he can't stop wanting and his newest employee.
When Samantha accepts a dream job in Mumbai, she's ready for a fresh start. What she isn't ready for is finding out her new boss is Aryan Mehta-the man who once used her for "fun" and left without a goodbye. He was everything she couldn't forget and everything she swore she'd never fall for again.
He doesn't remember how much he hurt her.
She doesn't plan to remind him.
But the past has a way of creeping in-especially when attraction turns dangerous and power begins to shift.
This time, he's the one falling. Hard. Deep. Obsessively.
And she?
She's not sure if she wants revenge, closure or something darker.
Old flames burn hotter when they never really went out.
In the world of glass offices, whispered memories and stolen glances, how long can she keep control before he crosses a line?

My heart raced, and I pressed myself against the seat. "Stay away from me," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. His smirk deepened, his steps deliberate. "Stay away? After all this effort, you think I'll let you go?" He stopped just inches from me, towering over me. "You don't get it, do you? You can run all you want, but you'll never escape me.
