Seventeen-year-old Aarvi has mastered the art of silence. Calm, detached, and colder than the frost she carries within, Aarvi has built walls around her heart that no one dares to cross. But life takes an unexpected turn when her mother marries into the powerful Rathore family-a clan as influential as they are intimidating.
Refusing to live under their roof, Aarvi sets her own rules, shocking everyone with her unyielding resolve. The Rathore brothers, used to control and obedience, suddenly find themselves intrigued-and infuriated-by this mysterious girl who refuses to bend.
But Aarvi has secrets of her own. By day, she's just another student preparing for her final year of school. By night, she's the enigmatic CEO of Solitude, balancing a life no one in her family knows about. And when her secret world collides with her new reality, the Rathores may discover that Aarvi is far more than the quiet, indifferent girl they thought she was.
Will Aarvi's icy heart survive the heat of the Rathore household-or will this be the beginning of a storm no one can control?.
"They think I'm a puzzle to solve-too bad I'm the game they'll never win."
