One glance across first class. One forbidden touch. One decision that changes everything.

Samantha Nexon has her life mapped out—work hard, send money home to Kerala, and keep her head down as an Emirates flight attendant. Romance? That's for passengers who can afford to dream.

Then she walks onto the Sydney-to-Mumbai flight.

Amrita Poonawala. Forty-five. Billionaire CEO. Impossibly elegant in a midnight blue saree. And looking at Samantha like she's the most fascinating thing at 40,000 feet.

When Amrita offers Samantha a job on her private jet, it should be simple—accept the opportunity of a lifetime and move on. But nothing about Amrita Poonawala is simple. Not the way she remembers how Samantha takes her cappuccino. Not the electricity that sparks every time their hands touch. Not the intensity in those dark eyes that makes Samantha forget every rule she's ever lived by.

Twenty-one years separate them. Society will never understand. And Amrita's world of corporate empires and old money doesn't have room for a girl from Kochi with safety pins holding her backpack together.

But when Amrita looks at her and says, "You're meant for more than this," Samantha starts to believe it.

The job offer comes with luxury apartments, designer clothes, and access to a life Samantha never imagined. But the unspoken question hangs between them every time they're alone:

How much is she willing to risk for a woman she can't have?

As their professional relationship blurs into something dangerous and intoxicating, Samantha discovers that flying first class has nothing on falling for someone who could destroy everything she's built—or give her everything she's ever wanted.

A scorching age-gap romance set against India's glittering elite, where forbidden desire collides with ambition, and love demands the highest price.
