"You can't hold me like that and not kiss me."

When Vinaya Nambiar, a twenty-two-year-old medical student from India is accepted for a two-month clinical rotation in New York City, it feels like her first taste of freedom.

But that freedom comes with a complication.

She'll be staying with her brother's best friend.

Nithin Balachandran is twenty-eight, hot and completely off-limits.

As the COO of an engineering startup, he's used to being in control over his life and his emotions. Vinaya was never meant to be part of that equation.

As late-night conversations turn into stolen glances and unspoken promises, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Yet every step closer risks everything - his friendship with her brother, his family's expectations, and the unyielding boundaries of caste and tradition.

Some love stories are forbidden for a reason.

Will Vinaya and Nithin defy society and choose each other, or will the cost of their love be too high to pay?

Please note that the Kindle Format has both Volume 1 and 2 within the same ebook.
