Almost in Love

At HeartSync Technologies, an IT company that builds algorithms for love, two people are absolutely not in love-with each other.

Rudra Saxena, a.k.a. Ruddy, is the golden boy of the office. Five years. Five trophies. One dangerously inflated ego. Confident, sharp, and annoyingly good at what he does, Ruddy believes success is his birthright-and that Sona Mishra is the single most irritating obstacle in his perfectly organized life.

Sona Mishra, on the other hand, doesn't care about Ruddy's trophies or his smug smiles. She's ambitious, brilliant, and unapologetically certain that the next Employee of the Year title is hers. Cute but lethal with words, Sona knows her worth-and she has zero patience for Ruddy's interference, unsolicited opinions, or constant presence in her workspace.

What starts as office rivalry quickly turns into a battlefield of sarcastic remarks, stolen glances, late-night deadlines, and unspoken tension. Every presentation becomes a challenge. Every success, a silent war. And somewhere between competitive banter and accidental moments of vulnerability, the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

Set in a vibrant, comic-book universe filled with bold emotions, dramatic showdowns, and pop-art chaos, Ruddy and Sona's story is a playful enemies-to-lovers romance where pride clashes with passion-and love arrives exactly where neither of them wants to look.

Because sometimes, the people who get under your skin the most...
are already dangerously close to your heart. 💥❤️
