When Hearts Collide

What if one message could change your entire life?

Siya Tyagi never planned on talking to strangers online.

A twenty-year-old college student from India, Siya would much rather spend her time buried in books, writing stories, and overthinking every decision she makes. Talking to strangers has always been a hard no.

Then one day, she receives a message.

From a boy she's never met.

Meet Neil Hayes.

A twenty-two-year-old American studying medicine in Bangalore, India, with dreams of becoming a cardiologist.

Quiet. Intelligent. Observant.

The kind of person who notices everything but says very little.

He isn't a flirt.

He isn't the life of the party.

And he definitely wasn't looking for love.

In fact, Neil only created an account because his friends practically forced him to.

What starts as a simple conversation between two strangers slowly turns into something much more.

Different backgrounds.

Different personalities.

One unexpected message.

And a connection neither of them saw coming.

Will they remain strangers behind their screens?

Will friendship be enough?

Or will two people who never expected to find each other discover that love has a habit of showing up when it's least expected?

One girl who hates talking to strangers.

One guy who barely talks at all.

And one message that changes everything.
