Finger Me With A Ring On (Completed)

A journalist with secrets.
An officer with a badge and unfinished guilt.
A case that should've been simple-if only they could stop touching each other.

Laboni Sen has the kind of information that could bring down Kala Haath, the most dangerous mafia in India. Reetika Roy, the IPS officer assigned to protect her, knows this should be about justice. Not past mistakes. Not long stares. Definitely not what happened in Reetika's apartment.

They knew each other once-before the pills, before the uniform, before the fire between them had a name.

Now, they're playing nice. For the case.
But the lines blur with every whisper, every lie, every glass of wine.

In the end, someone's going to break.
The law.
The case.
Or each other.
