His Arranged Wife
She was a political arrangement. He was a man who didn’t do love. Neither of them expected to be wrong.
Samarth Ranawat doesn’t make mistakes.
He runs Mumbai’s most feared criminal empire with the cold precision that earned him his name—The Executioner—and he has never once allowed something as inconvenient as emotion to interfere with business.
Until his father calls it business.
Until a Shah girl with honey-colored eyes and a romance novelist’s heart is placed across a negotiating table and handed to him like a signature on a contract.
He accepts. Sets his terms. Makes them brutally clear.
This is duty. Nothing more.
Nimisha Shah accepts too. She’s spent her whole life being exactly what everyone needed her to be. One more performance shouldn’t break her.
She’s almost right.
What begins as a transaction becomes something neither of them has words for—built in stolen midnights and explosive silences, in the space between a man who doesn’t know how to let anyone in and a woman who has stopped asking to be let in at all.
She doesn’t fight him. Doesn’t demand. Doesn’t beg.
She simply stays.
And somehow, that is the most dangerous thing she could have done to him.
But Samarth’s world doesn’t allow for distraction without consequence.
Someone has been watching his wife.
Patient. Calculated. Wanting.
And as the threat closes in, the man who built walls around everything he valued will have to decide what she actually is to him—before someone else makes that decision for them both.
His Arranged Bride is a dark, steamy, intoxicating slow burn about a man who confused control with strength, a woman who confused endurance with survival, and the one year it took them to learn the difference.
