meri Jaan:A professor 's Love (Discounted For Now)

"Jaan, stop running - please," Vikram calls out, his voice lost in the rain.
"I'm broken, sir," she whispers. "I'm not the woman you want raising your children."
He places her trembling hand on his chest, his heartbeat racing.
"Let's be broken together," he says. "We heal together. We love together. F*ck, we'll even die together... but don't leave me."

Aliana Rathore, a 19-year-old student at the University of Mumbai, is known as the kind-hearted, quiet girl. Shy, soft-spoken, and always respectful - loved by everyone, even the professors.

But life isn't as sweet as it seems.
At home, she's just a girl - belittled, degraded, and ignored. A drunk father, a mother who only lives for her husband and son, and a brother who's both a drug dealer and addict.

Her only escape? University. Until him.

Vikram Mehta, 42, a former U.S. Marine turned professor. Cold, no-nonsense, and terrifying in class - yet every girl on campus is drawn to him. Including Aliana.
But Vikram doesn't notice just anyone.
And when he does notice Aliana... he can't stop.

What happens when a broken girl meets a man who's never known love?
What if their pain becomes the thing that heals them both?
And what if this is more than lust - something deeper, something that scares them?
