Bound By His Rules

She didn't want a career.
She didn't want pressure.
She didn't want to "fix her life."

After everything she went through in college, all she wanted was peace.

But her parents had reached their limit.

So with one phone call, her father sends her halfway across the world-to New York-into the company of a man she has never heard of... and a life she never asked for.

A job she didn't apply for.
A city she doesn't know.
And a boss who seems to hate her from the moment she walks in.

He is the youngest CEO in New York-disciplined, feared, impossible to impress.
Cold eyes. Sharp tongue. No mercy for mistakes.
A man who built an empire on rules he never breaks.

What she doesn't know is that she has already broken one.

Because he remembers her.

From a night long ago, when they were teenagers in India-
a party where she laughed in a way he never forgot,
a moment she moved through a crowded room and unknowingly captured him.

She doesn't remember him.
He wishes he could forget her.
But he can't.

And now she's working under him... because his father said yes to an old friend's request.

She is chaos.
He is control.
She wants freedom.
He wants distance.
She falls first.
But he falls harder-silently, painfully, helplessly.

Every day she chips away at his walls.
Every day he pushes her away to protect his rules... and himself.
But the more he tries to stay cold, the more he burns for her.

Bound by his rules, tangled in their past, and pulled together by a love neither of them expected-they will learn that some hearts don't just break.

Some hearts belong.

And some hearts...
are bound long before they even meet.
