TRIAL BALANCE: where love meets balancesheet and crime

BOOK:1 Of Trial & Error
_____________________________

Some numbers never lie. But hearts? They never follow logic.

ADITYA RATHORE is more than just a police officer-he's the system's sharpest weapon. Calm, intimidating, and ruthlessly disciplined, he's built a reputation for cracking complex cases with zero tolerance for error-or emotions. His world runs on rules, order, and instincts sharper than bullets.

Then comes ANIKA SINGHANIA.

A chartered accountant with a mind made for numbers and a mouth that doesn't know how to stay silent. Brilliant, sarcastic, and impossible to ignore-Anika can catch financial fraud with one look at a ledger and shut down an entire boardroom with one smirk. She lives by logic. Until she meets the one man who makes her heart skip its own audit.

Their first meeting? Unexpected. Chaotic. She's his best friend's sister-fresh out of a college shift, tangled hair, baggy tee, muttering at Excel formulas. And Aditya? He's instantly thrown off.

She calls him "Bhaiya"to irritate him whenever they meet and he grits his teeth every single time.

But fate has plans far bigger than teasing and taunts.

But when loyalties are tested and danger draws closer, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur.

Or will their truths push them to opposite sides of the ledger?
