Two worlds. One storm. Can we survive the chaos—or will it consume us both?
Ryan
My goals were simple, even if my life wasn’t. My world was black and white and straight lines.
That is, until Risha Verma crashed into it. With her radiance, creative expression, and that burning chemistry, she enveloped me to my core.
She gives me closure I didn’t know I needed. She makes me a better man; I didn’t realize I wanted to be. And, she opens my eyes to a world I didn’t know I yearned for.
Risha
My life was a struggle between control, peace, and independence. I was trapped between the weight of expectations and dreams of an elusive future. Breaking free would brand me rebellious, while every mistake would carve my present. I live in two worlds: one I can’t escape, and one I can never fully claim.
That is, until I cross paths with a devastatingly gorgeous Ryan McAlister. We have nothing in common—our goals, our lives, our futures couldn’t be further apart—yet he awakens a storm I’ve fought so hard to silence. Beneath all the differences, we are alike. And he stirs a storm in me I never saw coming.
I let myself get swept into it—playing along, surrendering to its rhythm, pretending the moment could last forever. And then, everything unravels, and I realize I was never meant to belong to this storm.
