BOOK 1 OF BRIDE SERIES #1 in Top Ten in India #1 in Reluctant _____________________________________________ Aina Deshmukh's name meant "mirror," yet her life reflected nothing but pain and turmoil. Far from the delicate image her name suggested, Aina's existence was marred by a painful past, leaving her wary of love and reluctant to trust anyone, especially men. Her heart had long been shattered, and the idea of happiness felt like a distant dream. Shaan Singh Rathore, whose name meant "pride," was a man whose success spoke louder than words. Ambitious, confident, and indifferent to the concept of love, he built his empire on the belief that emotions only made one weak. To him, love was a fantasy-a notion he dismissed without hesitation. Can Shaan, the man who never believed in love, finally admit that Aina is the one who has the power to change everything?
