Summary

"They can’t escape their past, but maybe love can set them free." Ishaani, a renowned trauma psychologist, has spent her life healing others, yet she carries wounds no one sees. Scarred by a loveless past and an ungrateful family, she has built walls so high that even emotions can’t reach her. Vaibhav, a ruthless business mogul, has no place for emotions. He doesn’t heal trauma—he creates it. Powerful, dominant, and unyielding, he believes in control, not compassion. To him, love is a weakness, and he never allows himself to be weak. When their worlds collide in a modern arranged marriage, it’s a battle of wills. Forced proximity, hidden pasts, and dark secrets threaten to destroy them before they even begin. He is cold, she is distant. He dominates, she resists. But as the lines between love and power, revenge and redemption blur, they realize that some scars run too deep… and some connections are impossible to sever. Will Vaibhav break Ishaani’s carefully built defenses, or will she be the one to bring him to his knees? When love and power collide, who will surrender first?

The Healer & The Monster


Author's POV-

ISHAANI

Trauma healing is what she does, yet no one ever knows what’s going on inside her.

Her deep hazel eyes hold untold stories—stories no one ever asks about. She listens, understands, and helps others heal, but at the end of the day, she stands alone. Always has.

She took a stand for her people, fought for their battles, but when she needed someone, no one stood for her. Not even her own family.

The trauma of her past never fades. It flashes before her eyes every time she sits among the very people who should have protected her.

She chose to heal others because she never had someone to heal her.


VAIBHAV

Power isn’t given. It’s taken. And Vaibhav Aryavanshi takes everything he wants.

He is not feared because he is kind—he is feared because he is ruthless. In business, in power, in life—he dominates. He manipulates, he controls, and he never loses.

Emotions? They were nothing but distractions. Love? A weakness he had buried long ago. His past? It was a chapter he never reopened.

Once, he had believed in trust and loyalty. But that was before his own people left him scarred. That was the last time he allowed himself to feel. Since then, power became his only ally—and his greatest weapon.

To the world, he was a monster in a tailored suit—cold, dominant, and unforgiving. And that’s exactly what he wanted them to see.

Because in his world, love was a lie, and only the strongest survived.
