Description

Amaira is an aspiring chef who has organized her life around professional ambition, leaving little room for romance. When her grandfather falls ill, family duty leads her into an arranged marriage with Deven, a reserved man she barely knows. She enters the marriage as an obligation rather than the beginning of an emotional partnership, and both newlyweds keep their distance. In Paris, however, unfamiliar surroundings and shared time gradually turn their guarded coexistence into friendship. Any deeper bond must contend with misunderstandings, old wounds, Amaira’s career plans, and her reluctance to trust love. The romance follows two cautious people negotiating the difference between a commitment made for family and a relationship freely chosen.
