CRIMSON TIES (Crimson Bonds #1)

In a world where shadows dance with secrets and blood stains the heart, two souls collide in an unexpected tempest of passion and peril. Avantika Singhania, known as AVS, is the embodiment of darkness. Leading the underworld with an iron fist, she revels in the thrill of power and the pleasure of vengeance. Her life is a game of deception, where she doesn't flinch at the thought of taking a life, seeing it as a mere extension of her authority. Once a girl full of dreams, a tragic event stripped her of her innocence, turning her into the ruthless queen of the underworld. Alone in her empire of shadows, she believes that love is a weakness-until she meets him. Kabir Malhotra is the sunshine that pierces through the darkest clouds. As one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons, he dedicates his life to saving others, infusing joy and chaos into the sterile halls of the hospital. With a bubbly demeanor and a heart full of hope, Kabir defies the darkness of his past, where the loss of his father and sister shaped his unyielding will to cherish life. When their worlds collide, the chaotic energy of Kabir awakens something deep within Avantika-a yearning for warmth and connection she thought was lost forever. He becomes the spark that ignites her robotic heart, making it skip beats she never thought it could. In a realm where love can be a deadly game, Avantika finds herself drawn to Kabir's light, willing to do anything to protect him, even if it means sacrificing her own life. As their relationship deepens, the boundaries of morality blur. Avantika's violent world threatens to engulf Kabir, forcing them to confront the demons of their pasts and the choices they must make. Can love truly conquer all, or will the darkness of Avantika's reality pull them apart?
