Ellyse Perry has everything-wealth, freedom, and a powerful last name. When her father announces her arranged marriage, she runs all the way to London to escape it. But rebellion doesn't pay the bills. After failure, exhaustion, and one humiliating night at a police station, Ellyse finally gives in and agrees to marry the woman her father has chosen.
In India, Smriti Mandhana accepts the same alliance with quiet strength. Disciplined, grounded, and loyal to her family's promises, she knows Ellyse's reputation all too well-a spoiled heiress with a wild life and no sense of responsibility.
Their marriage begins with obligation, not love.
From sharp sarcasm to subtle care, teasing banter to slow understanding, two very different women are forced into the same life. What starts as duty slowly turns into something deeper.
A slow-burn romance filled with teasing, growth, and emotional tension-
this is a story about rebellion meeting responsibility,
about learning to stand still instead of running,
and about finding love in the one place neither of them looked for it.
Because sometimes, the marriage you never wanted becomes the life you never knew you needed.
