Heartbeats and Handcuffs

"I heal them, Zoya, you avenge them. We're the perfect team."

One month into our marriage, and I'm still learning the way Aryan Malhotra looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. He's a world-class neurosurgeon, calm, patient, and impossibly kind. To me, he's the quiet after the storm of my life at the police station.

But the storm is getting worse.

A serial killer is haunting the streets of Mumbai. He leaves his victims perfectly stitched up, as if he's trying to fix the lives he's taking.

As the lead investigator, I'm drowning in blood and dead ends. My only escape is coming home to Aryan, to his warm smiles, his protective hugs, and the way he listens to every detail of my day. He's my rock, the only one who keeps my heart beating when the job tries to stop it.

I'm hunting a monster who knows exactly how the human body works.
I'm sleeping next to a man who knows exactly how my heart works.

I just hope I find the killer before he finds me.
