Rhea Hassan has everything under control—perfect boyfriend, perfect relationship, perfect life everyone approves of. Adrian Hart is steady, loyal, and safe. The kind of love she’s supposed to keep. Then there’s Aaron Vale. Her boyfriend’s childhood best friend. Arrogant, reckless, impossible to ignore—and the one person who never knows how to keep his distance. What starts as harmless tension in shared spaces slowly turns into something sharper: lingering looks, accidental touches, conversations that feel too personal to mean nothing. Rhea tells herself she doesn’t like him. Not at first. Not ever. But the lines blur quickly when attention turns into habit, and habit turns into something neither of them are willing to name out loud. And when Adrian finally starts noticing what’s been building between them, it’s already too late to pretend it never existed.
