At twenty-one, Rajveer Singh Rathore ran away from a kingdom he despised. Forced into a cold, contract marriage with an eighteen-year-old stranger-Princess Devika Kumari of Jaipur-he left India for Oxford without ever looking beneath her wedding veil. He treated her as a casualty of his war against his own royal bloodline, abandoning her to the gilded cage of his family's palace while he conquered the global corporate boardrooms of London and New York.
Seven years later, the rebellious teenager has hardened into a ruthless corporate billionaire. Rajveer is returning to Jodhpur for his younger brother's wedding, not as a submissive puppet to the throne, but as a sovereign ruler who has successfully weaponized his crown to run a global shadow empire.
But the desert sand holds secrets of its own. Waiting for him within the palace walls is Devika-no longer the frightened, silent teenager in twelfth grade he abandoned, but a twenty-five-year-old woman who has lived under his family's roof and survived their legacy.
