He traced the cold muzzle from my forehead, slowly dragging it down the bridge of my nose, past my lips, and resting it squarely against my chest, right over my hammering heart. "Tell me, Detective Shaiba," he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. "You had me in your sights. You had the power to end this entire 'Architect' mystery tonight. Why didn't you fire?" "I..." My voice failed me. I was shivering, not from the cold, but from the terrifying proximity of his heat. "I don't know." "You don't know," he echoed, a dark, dangerous hum in his throat. He leaned forward, his voice dropping into a low, predatory growl. "You have no idea what kind of thoughts are running through my mind right now, seeing you standing here at my mercy." My breath hitched. "W-what thoughts?" "Like how much I want to fuck you right here. Bare, exposed, and completely at my mercy," he said, the words blunt and shocking. He pinned me against the the car, the weight of his body crushing the air from my lungs. _________________________________________ "Sometimes life takes sudden turns, doesn't it?"

Book 2 The Ruthless Ties Series An innocent heart collided with a ruthless soul, in a world where mercy had no place. Fate, ever cruel, bound them in a dance neither could escape. Written in Reverie - the second book in the Ruthless Ties series - is a story about the collision of innocence and ruthlessness, of shattered dreams and rewritten fates. The story of an undestined fate - of two souls from completely opposite worlds, opposite bloodlines - colliding in a marriage built on convenience, forced consequences, and the crushing weight of duty and morality, set against a backdrop of a morally grey world. Alekha Agnihotri, the eldest princess of the Agnihotri family, watches her heart, her hopes, and her dreams shatter in a single night. With no path left to choose, she is forced to accept her fate as the enemies of her nation, Auveria, step forward in her rescue. In Rostavich, she is surrounded by threats cloaked in shadows; safety is a fleeting illusion. But standing between her and annihilation is Igor Sokolov - a man with no heart, no mercy. A killer. A ruthless villain carved from ice and blood, whose hands have long forgotten kindness. And yet, in the ashes of lost dreams and fractured loyalties, a story neither of them was meant to live begins to unfold.

In a world where power is everything, the Shekhawat men rule from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and hidden behind the façade of billion-dollar empires. Their secrets are buried deep, their sins masked behind tailored suits and cold stares. No one dares to cross them. Until they do. Yashika, Meher, Trisha, and Tanishka-four women bound to the Shekhawat brothers by fate, deception, and secrets too dangerous to unveil. Each step they take, each vow they make, pulls them deeper into a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is a curse. Yashika fights against a marriage that was never meant to be hers. Meher walks a thin line between silence and rebellion. Trisha plays a game even she isn't sure she can win. Tanishka, the wildcard, is the one threat they never saw coming. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a dangerous illusion-who will survive, and who will burn?
