Love was never meant to be part of the deal.
Aanya Sen's life is a quiet battlefield-her father's bookstore drowned in debt, her mother's failing health, and a brother whose future rests on her shoulders. She never believed in fairy tales, and she certainly never believed her survival would depend on the coldest man she had ever met.
Ishaan Rathore, the billionaire who rebuilt his empire from ashes, doesn't believe in love. To him, marriage is just a transaction, a business strategy to silence the board of directors and protect what is his. His rules are simple-no feelings, no questions, no strings.
But when Aanya, desperate and cornered, signs the contract that binds her to him for one year, neither of them expects the lines to blur. What begins as a cold agreement soon turns into a dangerous dance of stolen glances, midnight arguments, and emotions both of them swore they'd never feel.
He is ice.
She is fire.
And somewhere between duty and desire, their worlds will collide-testing loyalty, breaking promises, and rewriting the very meaning of love.
Because sometimes, the most dangerous contract of all... is the one signed with the heart.
