RUDRA β‘ INAAYA AVANSIA
Keep your friends close, and your enemies' sisters closer.
Inaaya Avansia did everything right. She cut ties with her family, ran from the blood-soaked legacy of the mafia, and built a quiet life in the shadows. But you can never truly escape a war you were born into.
Enter Rudra-her brother's fiercest, most ruthless rival. To destroy the Avansia empire, Rudra needs leverage, and Inaaya is the perfect pawn. He kidnaps her, trapping her in his dangerous world. But captivity breeds an unexpected, suffocating intimacy. Inaaya knows she is falling for the monster who stole her freedom. Rudra knows it, too. He burns for her just as deeply, but in his world, showing love is a death sentence.
In a game of loyalty and betrayal, who will break first?
