A Little Too Close

*What if the one person you should never want... is the only one you can't stop thinking about?* Seventeen-year-old **Avika Agnihotri** lives in a world painted with elegance and ease — her mother, a celebrated artist, and her stepfather, a powerful business tycoon, have given her the perfect life in a perfectly blended family. Until he comes home. **Dev Raghuvanshi** — her twenty-four-year-old stepbrother. Stoic. Sharp. Untouchable. And completely, absolutely off-limits. They haven’t seen each other in years. But the moment their eyes meet again, something cracks. A look that lingers too long. A word that cuts too deep. A silence that screams. He's everything she shouldn’t want. She’s everything he’s trying to ignore. But in a house built on secrets, and beneath a roof full of tension, temptation doesn’t knock — it *walks right in*. And the closer they get, the harder it is to pretend. This isn’t a crush. It’s not a phase. It’s a fall. And some lines, once crossed, are impossible to erase. ---
