Betting on Her Heart
[Warning: Contains mature and explicit content]
Mumbai to London changes everything.
Behind her quiet escape lies a storm—secrets, control, and a past she refuses to carry any longer. Determined to rebuild her life, Tara enrolls at London Business School, choosing independence over obedience… even if it means leaving behind the people who still quietly protect her from afar.
London was supposed to be a fresh start.
Instead, it becomes the beginning of something far more dangerous.
On her very first night out, a simple accident—spilled wine, a borrowed t-shirt—leads her to Alisha Wilson: bold, magnetic, and completely unpredictable. Half-British, half-Indian, and entirely untouchable, Alisha is everything Tara avoids—reckless, charming, and emotionally unavailable.
And yet… impossible to ignore.
What Tara doesn’t know?
Alisha didn’t approach her out of kindness.
It started as a bet.
A game between friends.
A challenge to win over the quiet, guarded girl who clearly didn’t belong in her world.
But games have consequences.
Because Tara isn’t as fragile as she seems.
And Alisha isn’t as unaffected as she pretends.
What begins as a careless challenge slowly turns into obsession…
Boundaries blur. Walls crumble. Feelings get messy.
And somewhere between lies and late-night conversations—
One will break.
One will beg.
And one will have to decide…
if love is worth losing everything for.
