He yanked her closer to him, by pulling only her wrist to him, and not closing the decent space between them. "Do not belittle yourself like that. Ever. Do you hear me, Nandini? Do you?" And she only stared back at him with her teary eyes, while he blinked hard with the downpour falling over them. And before he knew, he had planted a kiss on her forehead. But this time, she did not protest. Neither she pushed him away, for she knew, she wanted it too.

Nandini Murthy is the last person he expected to walk through his glass doors-fierce, flawless, and utterly infuriating. A rising-star designer, she's here to build his brand... not bend to his control. But in a war of egos, every look is a challenge, and every late-night meeting blurs lines that were never meant to be crossed. What began as a clash of control turns into a battle for surrender-of power, of pain, and ultimately... of hearts. In the architecture of love and loss, who's really designing whose downfall?
