THE TERMS WE NEVER SIGNED: A Slow-Burn Workplace Romance Set in Mumbai About Ambition, Unspoken Rules, and Irresistible Chemistry

Some connections change everything-even when they were never official to begin with. Rhea Kapoor likes knowing where the boundaries are. At work. With family. With herself. Kabir Anand has never been quite so easy to contain. What begins as professional chemistry becomes late dinners, private moments, familiar routines, and a relationship neither of them is willing to name. Rhea believes keeping things undefined keeps them safe. Kabir is beginning to wonder whether silence is simply another way of avoiding the truth. Then one late-night message forces the conversation they have spent months postponing. Suddenly, the rules that protected them no longer feel protective at all. In a city where ambition leaves little room for vulnerability and reputation can travel faster than truth, Rhea and Kabir must decide what honesty will cost them-and whether the connection they never defined has already become the one thing neither of them is prepared to lose. Because sometimes the most dangerous agreement is the one two people never make out loud. The Terms We Never Signed is an emotionally charged contemporary romance about workplace chemistry, ambition, intimacy, vulnerability, and two people discovering that avoiding the label does not make the feelings disappear.
