Mia has always followed her instincts. But one reckless choice, a night with a Gigolo-sets her life spinning out of control.
What begins as a secret indulgence becomes a dangerous dance of longing, temptation, and revelation of secrets that wrenched her stomach.
In the dazzling, deceptive world of art, Mia crosses paths with Malvika Menon, a celebrated painter haunted by her own quiet regrets.
And between them stands a man who has survived hunger, loss, and the ache of reinvention-an artist who paints not just on canvas, but on hearts he cannot keep.
As passion intertwines with guilt, and attraction collides with conscience, Mia must navigate moral ambiguity, unspoken truths, and the price of her choices.
Some lessons can only be learned in the fire of temptation; some loves, once kindled, refuse to be contained.

"Love, they say, redeems. But for me, it was never redemption. It was revelation-of the sins we bury, the hearts we break, and the people we pretend not to love."
