When business turns personal and duty meets desire…

Vikram Khurana,a strikingly handsome billionaire and co-owner of an award-winning startup, has always approached life like a boardroom meeting. Calm, calculated, and controlled. He never wanted to inherit the powerful Khurana Empire. But when tragedy strikes, the crown he avoided is thrust upon him, along with a clause binding him to the one woman he never truly forgot: Mahika Jaykar. She’s no longer just a memory or the girl next door who once trailed after his brother. She’s a force he never saw coming and the only woman capable of shaking the walls he’s built around his heart.

Mahika Jaykaris confident, beautiful, and fiercely independent. By day, she’s a marketing director at her late father’s firm. By night, she escapes into the world of romance novels she secretly writes. Her dream is simple: settle in her dream location and write full-time. But a year after her father’s death, a hidden clause in his will triggered by a recent incident, turns her world upside down. Her future now hinges on one impossible condition: marrying the man she’s sworn to hate & avoid, Vikram Khurana. Vikram isn’t just her childhood friend’s arrogant older brother. He’s the boy who once dismissed her, and the man who still makes her pulse race.

When fate throws them together, the line between hate and desire blurs, and every look feels like a challenge.Bound by duty and tangled in vows, they crash together like a fire meeting a hurricane. The attraction between them is wild, volatile & impossible to ignore and what begins as a reluctant marriage simmers into undeniable heat, until desire threatens to crash through every line they swore they wouldn’t cross. But just as they start to give in, a sinister force lurks in the shadows. Old rivalries run deeper than they imagined. And the clause meant to protect the business and Mahika becomes the very reason to put her in danger.

Entangled by vows neither expected to honour, they must now decide if they’re willing to fight for something real. Can Mahika still chase her dreams? Will Vikram walk away again from the family business?What begins as business might just become the one thing neither of them saw coming...Forever.
