Summary

Two haunted pasts. One twisted truth. Not every monster hides in the dark. Leela Sen doesn’t do chaos. She’s a criminology student with a quiet mind, a spotless record, and a past no one dares ask about. Until she’s partnered with him—Kai, a brooding underground fighter with a court-mandated seat in anger management and secrets inked into his skin. He’s not supposed to be at college. She’s not supposed to notice the man who’s used to disappearing into fists and shadows. But when old case files resurface, and a series of break-ins mirror the one that shattered Leela’s childhood, they find themselves tangled in a cold trail with burning consequences. What begins as reluctant teamwork turns into late-night stakeouts, locked rooms, whispered names—and a truth neither of them is ready to admit. Because the monster watching Leela never really left. And Kai? He might’ve been there the night everything fell apart. Slow-burn. Enemies-to-allies. One girl, one fighter, and a mystery that was never supposed to be solved.

Hello Readers

PREFACE


This story’s been living rent-free in my head for a while, whispering plot twists at 3AM and feeding me slow-burn chaos like it’s a full-time job. It’s messy, it’s sharp, it’s a little bit romantic, a little bit criminal—and very much mine.


You’re about to meet Leela Sen, who has a locked-up past and a perfectly filed future. Until he walks in.

Kai isn’t your typical tattooed bad boy—he’s worse. He fights underground, dodges court orders, and carries a truth too heavy for fists alone.


They hate each other.

They’ll probably save each other.

Or burn everything trying.


If you love mystery, crackling tension, sass-fueled banter, and emotional punches wrapped in enemies-to-lovers slow burn? Baby, you’re home.


…


DISCLAIMER


This is a work of fiction. All characters, places, events, and underground fight clubs are figments of my wildly overactive imagination. Any resemblance to actual people (alive, dead, ghosted, or exes) is purely coincidental.


Now go on—flip the page. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
