She wants him but knows he's going to marry someone else... When Maya Stewart arrives in London to visit her best friend Jay, she's aware that he's keeping the fact that he's gay a secret from his traditional Indian family. However, deceiving his dangerously good-looking older brother, Rajiv, is something Maya hadn't expected to deal with. The attraction between her and Rajiv is intense and immediate. But after being warned by Jay of Rajiv's reputation as a player and womaniser, Maya tries her utmost to keep her distance from him-although Rajiv doesn't give up easily. He wants her, but he's sure that she's his brother's lover... Rajiv Maddox has demons of his own to battle, including a darker side to his tortured soul. Highly suspicious of Maya, he thinks that she could be the reason for Jay's suicidal depression, yet Rajiv can't deny his attraction to this beautiful flame-haired Scottish girl. But one thing he knows for sure-if she finds out what a monster he really is, she'll run fast and hard in the other direction. Can two people from two different cultures and such dissimilar worlds find any common ground or has fate doomed their love from the beginning?
