Will love overcome pride?

ARJUN RATHORE had achieved many things in his young life. He accepted his success as his due for all the hard work. Accepting an arranged marriage however, he had not foreseen. Unwilling to disappoint his family, Arjun prepares to embark on a relationship unlike that which he had secretly wished for. And then he met Kaya.

When they met...

Sometimes, a single instance is all it takes for two people to know they are meant to be. But when fledgling feelings get tested against old traumas and new misunderstandings, it turns out that perhaps, they need to meet again after all.

Rian Shetty had a plan.

His business was profitable. He was listed amongst the top up-and-coming restaurateurs in the world. He might even get a second Michelin star any day now. It was the perfect time to focus on building the culinary institute he’d been dreaming of. He had no time for the complications of love, marriage or children, no matter how much his grandmother, Nanamma, begged. Until a surprise guest, with her heart-stopping smile, filterless mouth and inescapable presence, torpedoed his life and blew his plan to smithereens.

Dr. Aditi Krishnan needed a plan.

After a disastrous end to her first love and a series of coma-inducing dates, she wondered if her dreams of having her own happily-ever-after would come true. An escape from her non-existent love life comes with a career opportunity that takes her temporarily to a new city- Mumbai. Faced with a distractingly handsome host however, she begins to wonder if her plan should include a fling with the sexy chef who makes her want things she knows she can’t have.

As a tentative friendship blooms, Rian and Aditi find that best laid plans often go awry, and even temporary situations have a way of permanently altering a heart.

VERA TALWAR has one goal. To take care of the only man who’s truly loved her—her grandfather. With a new promotion, having the financial means to make this goal a reality is finally within reach. Until the return of the one person she vowed never to forgive leaves her reeling. They may work together, might fall into old habits, could even indulge in the red-hot lust that still flares between them. But she’ll never forget one cardinal rule.

She hates Vihaan, and she always will.

VIHAAN OBEROI is many things. A tabloid darling, a playboy prince turned media mogul, a charming flirt who’d accidentally achieved success. Proficient at hiding his wounds behind a carefree exterior, his mask slips when faced with the fiery woman who’d betrayed him. He swears never to give her power over him again. Even if her touch marks his skin and her presence makes his world come alive. Even if her anger makes him wonder why she treats him like he’d broken her heart instead of the other way around. No, he won’t fall in love with Vera.

Even if it feels like she’s still. . . his.
