One glance. One lie. One wedding that was never meant to happen.
Iyrah Ali never thought her wedding day would feel like punishment; standing beside Ziyaan Haroon, the man who once made her believe in forever… and then shattered it without a word.
Three years ago, he was her everything, her senior in college, her secret, her undoing. One look from him and she forgot how to breathe. One heartbreak later, she learned how to live without him. Or so she thought.
Now he’s back, richer, colder, and every bit as devastating. The owner of Anardana, Bangalore’s most exclusive restaurant, Ziyaan is a man who thrives on control. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. It’s bound them together in a marriage neither of them saw coming, and neither can seem to escape.
Between the walls of resentment and the ghosts of who they once were, something dangerous begins to stir again. Because when two people with a past this combustible are forced to share a life, every secret becomes a spark… and some sparks are meant to burn.
