But when her sister disappears before the wedding, Natasha is forced into an unwanted marriage with Shivansh Ranawat-a man who didn't choose her, and doesn't plan to love her. And yet... fate never asks permission.

But when fire collides with the devil, neither of them walks away unchanged. She sees him as a man hiding something. He sees her as the one person he can't seem to stay away from. And as their worlds begin to collide, Iris finds herself getting closer to the truth... while Leon realizes that the one woman determined to uncover his secrets may become his greatest weakness. She brings criminals to justice. He rules them from the shadows. And neither is ready for what happens when they meet.
