Limited-Edition with a Handwritten Note from the Author

‘When he turns, I see his eyes. There’s a sense of surety in them, a sense of danger, a sense of entitlement and most definitely, arrogance.’

Daksh and Aanchal meet under improbable circumstances in the most unlikely of places-a posh resort in the Andamans. While Aanchal is fighting hard to escape the shackles of a lower middle-class existence, Daksh is aimless and unsure of what his future holds. Strangely, they are drawn to each other.

‘My gaze drifts to her exposed back and the tiny knot that secures her shimmering choli in place. My emotions of anger mix with a strange want in me.’

Four years later, when they meet again, Daksh’s world has crumbled around him. The burden of caring for his sick father and six-year-old sister has left him with little time for anything else. Yet, despite their diverging paths, Daksh and Aanchal find themselves reconnecting in unexpected ways. Their mutual attraction deepens.

From seventeen to their thirties, they’ve gone through the roller coaster of life. The very definition of love has undergone a sea change; how they look at each other and even what they want out of life has changed drastically. So now, when they decide to take matters into their own hands, will life be as they have imagined, or will destiny take even that away from them?
