Book Two of the Innings of the Heart Trilogy
Tanisha Marathe likes her life organised.
Her schedules are planned.
Her work is disciplined.
Her patients listen to her.
And her patience is carefully rationed.
Then there's Ishan Kishan.
Loud. Chaotic. Unfiltered. Competitive.
And apparently determined to make her life as difficult as humanly possible.
As a sports physiotherapist, Tanisha has dealt with stubborn athletes before. But Ishan is a completely different kind of problem-one that comes with terrible jokes, endless teasing, an infuriating grin, and absolutely no concept of personal space.
She tells him to behave.
He makes it his personal mission to annoy her.
She tells him to stop talking.
He talks even more.
She insists they could never be friends.
He takes that as a challenge.
What begins as constant bickering slowly turns into an unlikely friendship. Somewhere between late-night conversations, ridiculous arguments, stolen smiles, and moments when the jokes disappear, Tanisha starts seeing the man behind the chaos.
And Ishan?
For the first time, he's not interested in winning a game.
He's interested in winning her.
But Tanisha doesn't believe in complications.
Ishan has never been good at keeping things simple.
And when friendship starts feeling a little too much like love, they have to decide whether they're willing to risk the one thing neither of them expected to find.
Because sometimes...
the person who disrupts your perfectly planned life becomes your favourite part of it.
And maybe Ishan Kishan isn't Tanisha's biggest complication after all.
Maybe-
he's her favourite one. ♡
