Iris Arora has been on the run for nearly two years.
In the first year, she'd concluded a mission against an underworld criminal syndicate, sending their leader and his right hand man to prison for good. Or so she thought.
In the second year, she'd been labelled a corrupt detective, forced to leave her job and go under the radar, to escape false charges and fearing retaliation from the organisation she believed she'd destroyed, after their leader was freed with little time served.
But unfortunately for Iris, her luck had ended the day she'd presumed herself to be at the height of her career. Because she's been found. Not by anyone of the law, but Adrian Sokolov. And his brother, Ronan Petrov, her former detective partner, who'd been a lie from the beginning.
And to top it all off, Iris is now their captive.
In mind, body, and spirit, or so they say.
Before they ultimately kill her for her betrayal.
But Iris has always been a fighter.
Runner for sure, but a fighter most definitely.
And she promises to not go down easy.
But with the world against her and the brothers monitoring her every move during the day while stealing her heart in the dark, will she be able to escape her untimely fate? Or will her life be lost to the savage needs of those who want to capture her soul?
Find out in the 'The Kiss of Death', a dark romance novel.

✦ RITVIKA KAPOOR ✦
A girl who carries the sun in her smile and storms in her silence.
She wasn't raised in riches, but she's richer than most-in love, in softness, in strength. A single mother at 24, her heart beats not just for herself, but for her little girl who calls her "Mumma."
𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 is her language and 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 her comfort-she loves quietly, endures deeply. Every scar has a story, but she chooses not to tell them, only to live past them.
She dreams of love, but doesn't expect it.
She hopes for a miracle, yet walks through life with calm acceptance.
She is a - ❝ Khud se zyada kisi aur ke liye jeene wali ladki. ❞

✦ VIDYUT RAJVANSH ✦
His presence demands silence.
A man built from shadows and steel. Cold eyes, sharp suits, and a reputation darker than the night. He's the kind of man who doesn't flinch at loss, and never looks back once he walks away.
A CEO, a name whispered in fear, a heart hidden behind layers of pain and pride.
Commitments? He avoids them.
Emotions? He shuts them out.
Children? He doesn't do soft things-until Tara calls him "Dadda."
He doesn't believe in second chances,
but somehow, Ritvika feels like the home he never had.
He is a - ❝ Mohabbat se door bhaagne wala, lekin mohabbat mein doobta hua aadmi. ❞
