What happens when a man who defends criminals for a living crosses path with someone who still believes the world is fair? This is the story of love that isn't gentle, power that demands a price, and obsession disguised as protection. Karna, 27 a celebrated criminal lawyer whose victories are bought, not earned, and whose conscience has learned to stay silent. Samvirti, 20 a college student whose universe is limited to lectures, friendships, deadlines, and dreams that have not yet learned to be careful. Their worlds were never meant to meet. Yet when they do, justice bends, morals blur, and love becomes something dangerous. This is not a story about right and wrong. It is about what people are willing to become when love, power, and choice collide.

Book 2 in Crimson Crown series Pratha Touch. Claim. Defy. He wasn't born to follow rules. He was the kind of man who made them - and then broke them, just to see who'd dare stop him. In a world built on rituals and fear, Shamsher Dev Thakur roared like a lion. Defeating, yet never bowed. He wasn't from her village. He wasn't part of their traditions. But he was the only man who looked her in the eye... and didn't flinch. She was barely a whisper - a young girl, full of laughter one moment and wrapped in white the next. A bride one day. A widow the next. Left to rot in a corner, forgotten by fate, punished by a world that decided she had lived too much already. But he saw her. She was just... sitting. Still. Staring into nothing. It broke the heart of the man like him. But he made the most dangerous decision of his life: To go against a village that wasn't his. To claim a girl the world had already declared untouchable. To marry her. Not out of love. Not yet. But out of pure, ruthless defiance. This is not a love story. This is the beginning of a war. One man. One girl. And an entire society trying to tear them apart.
