What if the person you're meant to love is the one you can't stand... until you can't stay away?
Saanvi Sharma has always kept her heart locked tight - buried under ambition, sharp wit, and a stare that scares most men away. She doesn't believe in soulmates. She doesn't even believe in second chances.
Enter Abhi Sastry. Quiet, infuriatingly observant, and impossible to shake off. Their chemistry? Dangerous. Their silences? Louder than their words.
In a world of missed timings and unspoken feelings, theirs is a story of emotional whiplash, slow surrender, and the kind of love that simmers beneath the surface - until it burns.
From glances that linger too long to goodbyes that come too soon, "The Slow Burn" is a love story for anyone who's ever resisted what their heart already knew.
