"Clause No. 7: Don't Fall in Love"

"This isn't a love story. It's an agreement... until it's not."

Vedika Joshi had a silent schoolgirl crush on
Harshil Mehra-her senior, her friend's boyfriend, the boy who was never meant to be hers.

Fourteen years later, she's a brilliant PhD scholar in infrastructure and development economics, determined to pursue psychology and build a safe space for emotionally struggling teens. He's a successful, emotionally distant doctor in Chicago with no time for feelings, let alone marriage.

But when their families decide to tie them in an arranged marriage for business alliances, Vedika offers an alternative: an agreement-ten clauses, no emotional entanglements, no falling in love.

To her surprise, Harshil adds a few rules of his own.

Now, two complete strangers with a complicated past live under the same roof, bound by a ring, a city far from home, and a set of unbreakable rules... that might just
break them first.

Will they survive the marriage contract?
Or will Clause No. 7 be the one that ruins it all?
