Blade Against Skin

Blade against skin is a story of power, regret, and forbidden love in a world where every secret bleeds.

Azlaan Rehmani has everything - wealth, respect, and the kind of charm that makes even his enemies hesitate. But behind his billion-dollar empire lies a past soaked in violence and betrayal. He's spent years burying his sins beneath luxury and silence... until she walks into his life.

Zara Haleem is not who she claims to be. Posing as a journalist, she infiltrates Azlan's world to expose him for the crime that destroyed her family. But the deeper she goes, the more she uncovers a man tormented by guilt, not the monster she imagined.

Between them sparks a dangerous chemistry - one that blurs the line between justice and obsession, vengeance and love. As the shadows of the mafia close in, Zara and Azlan must face the truth: some hearts can only be cleansed by fire.

In the end, gold may glitter... but blood never forgets.
