He crossed her boundaries. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Together, they'll learn that the bravest thing you can do is let yourself be loved.
In this gripping contemporary Indian college romance, Myra Kapoor has built walls so high, no one can reach her. After escaping an abusive relationship that nearly destroyed her, she's sworn off love, trust, and anything that makes her vulnerable. College is for surviving, not thriving—and definitely not for falling in love.
Enter Reyansh Rao. He notices everything about her. The way she drinks her coffee black. The way she leaves water in her glass. The way she's completely, devastatingly untouchable. When a moment of reckless intimacy in an exam hall sparks an explosive confrontation between them, this slow-burn romance takes an unexpected turn. He expects her to walk away forever.
Instead, she kisses him.
What begins as a clash of boundaries becomes a deeply emotional journey of healing and trauma recovery. But just as Myra starts to believe in happy endings, her dark past returns—violent, obsessive, and determined to prove she'll never be free. Reyansh, the ultimate protective hero, will stand beside her through every nightmare. But the question isn't whether he'll stay.
It's whether Myra can finally believe she deserves to be loved.
Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Tahereh Mafi, and readers who devour emotional romantic suspense.
