CHARACTERS INTRODUCTION-

Aarohi Sharma

Twenty-four years old.

A girl who has spent her entire life protecting the only family she has left her younger sister.

Strong, stubborn, and fiercely independent, she never asks anyone for help.

But when her sister disappears without a trace, she's forced to place her trust in the last person she ever thought she would.

A man as dangerous as the secrets he's hiding.

Kabir

Twenty-seven years old.

No family.

No home.

No one waiting for him.

An orphan who learned to survive on the streets long before he learned to trust people.

People call him a criminal, a drifter, a thug.

But when someone goes missing, he's the man everyone secretly turns to.

Because Kabir always finds what he's looking for.

The question is...

Will he be able to find her sister without losing his heart?
