Mumbai's monsoon-soaked streets hide many secrets, but none darker than his.

Advika Mehra is a journalist who thrives on unearthing the truth-even if it kills her. When she digs too deep into a corrupt real estate deal, she makes the wrong enemy.

Aarav Singh Rathore doesn't take threats lightly. The billionaire heir to a ruthless empire, he knows how to destroy reputations, careers-even lives. But Advika refuses to back down. And that fascinates him almost as much as it infuriates him.

To silence her, he draws her into his world. Forces her to make choices no good woman should. As their battles turn intimate, the lines blur between hate and desire, enemy and protector.

But in the city that devours the weak, one truth is inevitable:
He will ruin her.
And he will be bound by her ruin.
