THIS LOVE

Sanchi Joshi doesn't believe in easy love.
She doesn't trust easily, doesn't like people easily, and certainly doesn't have the patience for arrogant men who think the world revolves around them.

Dev Rathore has never had a problem with people.
He's confident, successful, surrounded by friends, and perfectly comfortable in his own skin. He knows what he wants-and usually gets it.

Which is exactly why Sanchi Joshi gets on his nerves.

She thinks he's entitled.

He thinks she's impossible.

She finds him unnecessarily charming.

He finds her unnecessarily difficult.

Their conversations become arguments.

Their arguments become competitions.

And somehow, every time they're in the same room, everyone else notices the tension before they do
Then life makes an inconvenient decision for them.

A family situation.

A carefully made agreement.

And one marriage neither of them actually wants.

A marriage of convenience.
One year.
One house.
One set of rules.
And absolutely no falling in love.

Sanchi: "That's it?"

Dev: "What did you expect?"

Sanchi: "An argument."

A smirk appeared on his face.

Dev: "You seem disappointed."

Sanchi: "I'm not disappointed. I'm surprised. There's a difference."

Dev: "Right. Of course ."

She narrowed her eyes.

Sanchi: "Don't do that."

Dev: "Do what?"

Sanchi: "That thing where you pretend you're being agreeable while actually trying to hide the real you ."
