Bewitched
In a world where arrogance is a family trait and getting what you want is a birthright, meet Mumtaz and Muntassir, the ultimate clash of wills. Mumtaz is the epitome of spoiled -her father's little princess, indulged beyond measure, and with the attitude to match. At 22, she's used to bending the world to her whim, with no regard for anyone else's feelings or the trail of chaos she leaves in her wake. Enter Muntassir, a 31-year-old heir to a vast oil empire, who's every bit as entitled but with the added flair of maturity and intellect. He's driven, sharp, and when it comes to business-or life-he's a man who knows what he wants and how to get it. When their worlds collide in a fiery, infuriating encounter, sparks fly in all the wrong-and right-ways. Muntassir, intrigued by Mumtaz's audacious spirit, decides she will be his, whether she likes it or not. Fate, ever the mischievous matchmaker, along with meddling parents, weave their magic, leading to an arranged marriage. In a battle of wits, wills, and wedded woes, who will end up truly bewitched?Complete
