Bound by Reputation, Freed by You

"A perfect smile covers the deepest scars."
To the Mumbai media, twenty-year-old Harleen Varma is the epitome of grace, elegance, and perfection. To her elite, reputation-obsessed parents, she is a project that cannot afford a single flaw. Suffocated by rules, hidden behind layers of makeup, and living in the shadow of her "golden child" brother, Harleen cries herself to sleep in a house made of glass and fakeness. She has no hope left.
Enter Fateh Singh Atwal.
A powerful, cold-eyed political businessman from Punjab, Fateh is a force to be reckoned with. Behind the sharp suits, the trimmed beard, and the gold chain is a man fiercely loyal to his massive, chaotic family. He doesn't do damsels in distress, and he certainly doesn't do Mumbai high society. But when a chance encounter brings the broken Varma heiress into his orbit, the stoic Atwal vows to shatter the cage holding her captive.
She was taught to hide her scars. He was taught to protect what's his.
