Faking With You (Molten Hearts Book 1)
Gautam Kini is sharp, successful, and thoroughly done with trust. After a savage betrayal sent him packing from the US back to India's thriving tech world, he keeps people at arm's length as a matter of principle. So when Yana turns up claiming she's the woman who helped him through a night he's desperate to forget, his instinct is simple: she's after something. She usually would be, in his experience. Yana Shenoy is nobody's victim, though. A seasoned property broker returning to Mumbai with a lot to prove and a past she'd rather not discuss, she saved this man out of basic human decency, only to find him arrogant, dismissive, and infuriatingly suspicious of her motives. It gets worse: he's now her client. Their first proper meeting ends in a spectacular row. Both leave convinced they're finished with each other. Fate, of course, has other ideas. Gautam needs a stand-in girlfriend to keep his interfering parents satisfied. Yana, teetering on the edge of a personal crisis, needs somewhere to live. The terms seem straightforward enough: a few weeks of playing the devoted couple, then they go their separate ways. Simple. Except Gautam keeps slipping into the role even when nobody's watching, and Yana can't quite work out why. Late-night arguments dissolve into charged silences. Careful distance collapses into something warmer, and considerably harder to walk away from. Just as Gautam finally lets his guard down, Yana's buried past resurfaces with a vengeance. The question stops being whether their feelings are real, and becomes whether the truth, when it comes out, will leave anything worth saving.
