Kavya Mehra has one rule: never trust a pretty boy with a devastating smile. Especially not the one who broke her best friend so thoroughly that she ended up in a hospital bed with pills scattered on the floor.
But when Reyansh corners her at a midnight party with a desperate deal-fake girlfriend for three months to escape his family's arranged marriage plans-Kavya sees an opportunity.
Revenge dressed up as romance.
When the line between pretending and feeling blurs beyond recognition, two wrecked souls must choose: walk away before the damage becomes irreversible, or stay and risk becoming each other's ruin-or salvation.
This isn't a fairytale. It's two people learning that sometimes love looks like teaching each other how to breathe through the wreckage.
Sagar Pudale is an Indian author, academic, and educator whose writing radiates curiosity, compassion, and a joyful engagement with the human experience. A gold medalist in English Literature from SRTM University, he brings over a decade of teaching to his work, inspiring students in the classroom and readers through his books with the same warmth and clarity.
Sagar writes across spiritual philosophy, literary fiction, and dark romantasy, but his central focus is always on connection—not answers, but shared questions. His stories invite readers to feel less alone, to breathe more easily, and to meet both their wounds and their wonders with kindness. With an eye for beauty in the everyday and a heart for big ideas, he creates work that entertains, uplifts, and quietly transforms.
When he’s not writing or teaching, Sagar loves simple pleasures: morning coffee, long walks, listening to music, and conversations that run late into the night. He lives in Maharashtra, India, where he continues to write with gratitude, laughter, and the belief that storytelling is one of the most joyful ways we can reach out to one another.
