VISHNU WALIA
As the illegitimate son of India’s most powerful politician, I’ve fought my way from shadows to strength. Now, with my father’s legacy in my hands, I should be focused on politics and power. Instead, I’m flying to New York, chasing the one woman who ever made my heart beat faster—and who shattered my trust completely. Simran Thakkar isn’t just my sister’s best friend anymore. She’s a fashion designer ruling New York’s elite circles, and she’s being stalked. My alpha protective instincts have me caging the very woman who once slipped through my fingers. But this isn’t the same Simran I knew eighteen months ago, and these aren’t the same feelings I buried. This time our forced proximity is more dangerous than any threat we face—because the chemistry between us was never truly dormant, just waiting to explode.

SIMRAN THAKKAR
I built my fashion empire in New York brick by brick, far from the suffocating world of Indian politics and controlling alpha males. Far from him. Vishnu Walia might be known for his dominance and overprotectiveness, but I’m not a woman who bows down easily. Yet when shadows start stalking my steps, he storms back into my life, all commanding presence and unforgiving eyes. He thinks he can cage me with his protection, but he doesn’t know the secrets I’m guarding. They say betrayal ends relationships, but ours? The chemistry crackling between us suggests this might only be the beginning.
With danger lurking at every corner and hearts clashing with unfinished business, our game of deceit and desire isn’t just a battle of wills—it’s a countdown to disaster. But as shadows creep closer, one question remains: Will the truth of our past destroy our future, or will our love survive… ‘The Deceit’?

A sizzling romantic suspense where protective alpha and his sister’s best friend’s forced proximity ignites second chances, and enough secrets to threaten his family’s powerful political legacy—once again.

Note: While this book can be read as a standalone romance, it is best enjoyed after reading my Political Romance Trilogy (The Gamble, The Maze, The Checkmate) as the Lead characters “Vishnu” and “Simran” are an integral part of these three books.
