She wasn't looking for love. He wasn't supposed to fall. When Saanvi Khandelwal, a fiercely independent woman with dreams too big to be tamed, is pushed into an unexpected marriage, she prepares for duty, not love. After all, she knows what marriage means in their world-family, traditions, expectations. But he is different. Rivaan Singhania is not the kind of man to be ignored. Dominant, fiercely protective, and dangerously intense-he doesn't share, he doesn't let go, and he doesn't believe in halfway measures. And when it comes to her, he is relentless. What starts as a battle of wills soon turns into something much deeper, much darker, and much more consuming than either of them expected. He wants to own her, claim her, make her his in every way. She refuses to bow, refuses to lose herself in the fire he ignites. But when desire burns hotter than defiance, and obsession turns into an undeniable love-who will surrender first? Because in this love story, losing is not an option.
