────── ⋆⋅ 𖤓 ⋅⋆ ────── On the lands of Bharatvarsha...where the palaces touch the skies and every corner of it has seen love, war and a thousand secrets, two powerful dynasties are about to collide, not with war...well not again, but this time with a marriage. The Aryavardhans of Shatrudamana are known for their strength, pride and never backing down from duty. At the centre of it all stands Prince Yashvardhan Singh. He is the perfect heir and the perfect warrior. The kind who'd destroy armies mercilessly. Far away in the kingdom of Padmagarha in the southern part of Bharatvarsha, ruled by the graceful and fierce Shailendri dynasty, lives Princess Vasundhara Shailendri. She is smart, fearless, and someone who refuses to be caged. They were young when they fell in love recklessly. They were naive and innocent. Everything was going beautifully until it all fell apart...their life is now full of misunderstandings, half-truths, betrayal, and silence. He thinks she betrayed him while she thinks he abandoned her. Now, years later, destiny has staged a reunion as an arranged marriage between their kingdoms. But the thing is that they hate each other now. Or at least they say they do. Between palace secrets, painful pasts, family pressure, and the heavy weight of duty, Yashvardhan and Vasundhara must face what they once were and maybe, what they still could be. Can two broken hearts from two proud kingdoms find a way back? Or will this marriage turn into war? ─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ─── "I'd rather set myself on fire than fall for your pathetic self ever again, Yuvraj," she whispered, her voice shaking as rain poured down on them.

"Is it the rain...or is it because I'm this close to you? say it!!" he whispered mockingly. ─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ─── -ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- Standalone Book

He has a dukedom to oversee, a wife to find, and a rambunctious family to keep in line, not the least of whom is his youngest sister (and perhaps best friend) Phillipa, who cannot seem to keep a governess. When Mrs Fiona Green appears, references in one hand and her young son Nathaniel clutched in the other, he hopes that at least one of his prayers has been answered, and sets his mind to the important task of finding himself a respectable duchess to share his life. But something - or someone - seems determined to keep Simon from his goal. As inconvenience, danger, and outright sabotage abound, Simon struggles to keep those in his care safe... and to ignore the sparkling green eyes of the sweet, lovely, and married governess now living within his walls. After all, Simon Humphrey has many responsibilities. He's just not sure if that includes following his heart. ** Book 3 of the Humphrey Chronicles **
