A tale where emotions run deep — even when they’re buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. Meher Sharma — fierce, free-spirited, and unpredictable. A 21-year-old with fire in her heart, rebellion in her soul, and dreams she won’t apologize for. Athrav Desai — mature, composed, and everything she swore she’d never fall for. A 28-year-old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They’re nothing alike. She’s chaos. He’s calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, the most unexpected collisions spark the fiercest flames. When their worlds crash, sparks fly — but not the pretty kind. It’s messy. It’s intense. And beneath all that chaos… something begins to grow — something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unwanted encounters… A story where hatred softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts — unknowingly — begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find inside : • Professor × Student • Arranged Marriage • Hate to Love • Slow Burn Romance • Age Gap (21 × 28) • Opposites Attract This isn’t your typical romance. It’s about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules, and hidden care — the kind of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection is a story about more than love. It’s about everything love hides.
