Against Every Instinct

Dr. Trisha Sharma has spent her life saving people, not impressing them.

As one of the city's most respected trauma surgeons, she has no patience for entitled men, inflated egos, or billionaires who think money can solve every problem.

Unfortunately, Rishaan Malhotra is all three.

As the owner of a luxury hotel empire, Rishaan is accustomed to control. His world runs on precision, discipline, and carefully guarded secrets. The last thing he needs is a sharp-tongued doctor who challenges him at every turn.

Their first meeting ends in an argument.

Their second is even worse.

Yet fate keeps pulling them back into each other's lives.

What begins as mutual irritation slowly transforms into something neither of them expected. Beneath the endless arguments and stubborn pride lies an undeniable attraction-one that grows stronger with every stolen glance, every late-night conversation, and every wall they tear down together.

But love comes with a price.

As family pressures mount, business rivalries intensify, and hidden truths from the past threaten everything they've built, Trisha and Rishaan must decide whether trust is worth the risk.

Because some hearts break from betrayal.

And some hearts break from fear.

In a world where appearances can be bought and loyalty is never guaranteed, they will discover that the most difficult thing isn't falling in love.

It's choosing to stay.
