Blurb, Dedication & Tropes
B L U R B
Diana:
They say the worst kind of heartbreak is the one you choose for yourself.
I never meant to fall for him. God, I tried not to. I watched from the sidelines, every smile he gave her carving something sharp into my chest.
He wasn’t mine to want—he was hers.
My step-sister’s boyfriend.
Eeshan Singhania.
The golden boy with cold eyes and a fire underneath. The man whose silence said more than most people’s love songs. He walked into every room like he owned the world... and somehow, without trying, he took mine.
She was everything people expected me to be. Pretty. Proper. Perfect.
And I was the girl who turned her heartbreaks into songs and her pain into poetry.
I was Diana Forbes, the voice behind platinum records and midnight ballads—so good at performing love, and yet, completely helpless when it actually showed up... in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Eeshan wasn’t meant to be my muse.
But he became the lyric I couldn’t stop writing.
Every time he looked at me like he saw too much. Every time his voice dipped into venom and silk. Every time his presence lingered a little too long, like he was trying to figure out which part of me to ruin first.
I slipped deeper into the kind of temptation that poets fear and sinners crave.
I thought he didn’t care. That I was just another shadow behind her spotlight. But lately... there’s something darker behind the way he says my name.
Like he wants me close—not to love, but to break.
Like he hates that I feel anything for him. And hates even more that anyone else might try.
As if pain is something sacred.
And only he has the right to give it to me.
Maybe that’s what I was all along...
Not the villain. Not the heroine.
Just the girl caught in the crossfire of a love that was never meant to be gentle.
And maybe the worst part?
I’m not sure anymore if I wanted him to choose me… or to destroy me.
