When chef Asha Mehta refuses to accept the “accident” that turned her family’s restaurant to ash, her search for answers leads to Pyre—a glass-walled rooftop bar that glows over the city—and to its enigmatic owner, Lucien Vale. He’s the man people whisper about: money, favors, debts that never quite die. He offers access…and a kiss that tastes like smoke and danger.
Drawn together by a heat they keep trying to control, Asha and Lucien strike a razor-edged deal: full truth, her pace, no lies. But every thread Asha pulls tightens around Lucien’s empire. As monsoon skies gather and rivals circle, desire becomes a battlefield—where consent is sacred, power is negotiated, and trust is the only firebreak between passion and ruin.
Perfect for readers who crave high-stakes chemistry, lush atmosphere, and a morally gray protector who will burn down his past to build something honest.
