(DO NOT BUY NOW. THE BOOK IS UNDER EDITING) He was never supposed to become the man she couldn't live without. Shalvi Sharma knows exactly what she wants: independence, a life built on her own terms, and absolutely no complicated men. Then Andrew Nicholas walks into her life. Twenty-nine, dangerously charming, frustratingly composed, and far too good at getting under her skin, Andrew is the last person Shalvi should want—and the one temptation she can't seem to resist. Living under the same roof was supposed to be temporary. The attraction was supposed to be harmless. So they make rules. No expectations. No jealousy. No feelings. And absolutely no falling in love. But rules become meaningless when stolen glances turn into late-night conversations, casual touches become impossible to forget, and the man she thought she could keep at a distance becomes the person who knows her better than anyone. Andrew falls first. Shalvi runs first. And when love finally catches up with them, it may cost them everything they've been trying so hard to protect. Because Andrew has a life Shalvi never imagined—and a secret that could change everything. Sometimes temptation isn't about wanting something you shouldn't have. Sometimes it's about finding the one person you're terrified to lose. And realizing that walking away hurts a hell of a lot more than giving in.
