My Billionaire Roommate Is My Ex's Brother

"Four strict roommate rules. One five-thousand-square-foot penthouse. And the one man she is absolutely forbidden to touch: her cheating ex-boyfriend’s billionaire older brother."

When interior stylist Kavya Mehra walked out on her cheating boyfriend, she vowed to cut ties with Mumbai’s toxic high society for good. But finding an apartment in the city on a seven-day deadline is an extreme sport, and when an impossibly cheap master suite in a luxury Worli high-rise falls into her lap, she jumps at the chance. Until the door opens. Standing on the threshold isn't an anonymous corporate landlord. It’s Reyansh Malhotra, the heir to a multi-billion-dollar hospitality empire, ruthless, intimidating, annoyingly gorgeous, and Aarav’s older brother. Desperate and out of options, Kavya agrees to move in under four ironclad conditions: 1. No personal questions. 2. No bringing dates home. 3. No entering each other’s bedrooms. 4. No discussing Aarav. It should be simple. Stay in opposite wings, maintain professional distance, and ignore the fact that Reyansh is everything his brother never was: protective, fiercely loyal, and dangerously attentive. Except domestic proximity is a slippery slope. Between late-night kitchen wars, seventy-four decorative cushions taking over his minimalist living room, and an accidental wardrobe swap that leaves her wearing his tailored shirts, the ice between them begins to melt. And when a business trip to Goa strands them in adjacent coastal villas, the line between forbidden friction and suffocating attraction vanishes entirely. Reyansh is willing to defy his family’s dynasty, shatter society’s expectations, and lay his entire empire on the line to keep her safe. But with her career under attack and old ghosts clawing at the door, Kavya has to decide: is she just trading one gilded cage for another, or is her worst possible mistake the only man who can make her feel at home?
