Anna Rafferty left New York two years ago to find herself. Not because she was running. Not because she was afraid. But because somewhere between the violence, the secrets, and the trauma that changed her life, she'd lost herself. For two years, she built a life on her own terms. She traveled. She healed. She learned to preserve things most people considered beyond repair, restoring rare books and forgotten stories while trying not to think about her own. Because some trauma isn't dealt with. It's buried. Returning to New York was supposed to be simple. Be closer to her family. Purchase the rare bookstore she'd fallen in love with years ago. Continue building the future she'd fought so hard for. The only complication... Julian Mercer. The powerful, devastatingly handsome and infuriating Don of New York, a man she should stay far away from. A man her sister can't stand. A man she hasn't seen since the night she left the city. Unfortunately for her, Julian Mercer has never forgotten a debt or Anna. What starts as a favor quickly becomes stolen moments, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them seem capable of walking away from. The problem? Julian is a man built from secrets and Anna has spent the last two years burying her own. When a string of brutal murders rocks the city-random, violent, and seemingly unconnected-every road somehow leads back to one person. Anna. As detectives begin circling, asking questions she can't answer and digging for secrets she can't share, Anna finds herself caught between the life she's carefully built and a past determined to drag her back. And the closer the danger gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the man she's spent two years trying to forget. Because Julian Mercer has always been dangerous. The difference is that now Anna has something to lose. Not her safety. Not her freedom. But her heart.

He said whispering, as if trying to control his anger, but I don't care about him right now. "I will, you are literally no one to tell me what to do and what not." I said, stating the fact. "Oh, Mia! Do not make me do something that you will regret." He said encircling his one hand around my waist and with the other he held the back of my neck firmly yet gently as he pushed me against the wall lightly, cagging me. "What will you do huh?" I know I am provoking him but i don't care because why would I? He thinks that he owns me which is so wrong. It's just him and his lethal obsession.

Vardhan: Money and power rule this world. With them, you can have anything you want. Ruhani: "Pyaar bhi?" ("Love too?") Vardhan: smirks faintly "Who even wants it?" Ruhani (thinking): Then why are you forcing me into this marriage? I don't want a life without love... a loveless bond. Vardhan (in his mind): To own you. To control the chaos you've brought into my world. You're the only thing I can't command... and that drives me mad, sweetheart. *** Vardhan Ranavat, 32 - the ruthless CEO of Ranavat Group. Powerful, disciplined, and commanding, he believes everything can be bought and controlled. Conquest is his nature and power his instinct; surrender, his weakness. Ruhani Sharma, 26 - a woman of quiet grace and unshakable integrity. A government officer by day and a tarot reader by night, she lives by truth, not convenience. Beneath her calm lies silent strength and a heart that longs for peace, not power. She seeks not luxury, but truth, respect, and love that feels like home. When Vardhan first hears her voice, something inside him fractures. It begins as fascination, deepens into obsession, and soon consumes his every waking thought. She becomes his calm-and his chaos. But Ruhani does not yield easily. And when persuasion fails, he does what he knows best-he takes control. He forces her into marriage, convinced that possessing her will bring peace to his restless mind. But what he doesn't foresee is how her silence will speak louder than defiance, how her quiet strength will challenge everything he's ever believed about power, love, and surrender. When control begins to crumble into longing, and obsession turns to vulnerability-who truly holds the power? Will Ruhani's strength tame the man who knows no restraint - or will love become just another battlefield where hearts are broken and boundaries blurred? A dark, compelling tale of two souls bound by destiny and divided by desire-where love isn't tender, and surrender isn't weakness.

CAN BE READ AS STAND STAND-ALONE. This book serves as a prequel to Twisted Family of Sikandars, focusing on Aairah and Hayaan's journey from their first meeting to their early married life.

One hand gripped my jaw, his thumb and fingers squeezing my cheeks as if daring me to speak again. His eyes, dark and unblinking, held something far more terrifying than rage. OBSESSION. He leaned in, whispering at the edge of my neck, his voice a dangerous murmur. "The moment you chose to marry him, you dug your own grave." His grip tightened.
