Wounded dreams✅️

Book 2 of wounded series.

Niyati Ahuja never dreamed of becoming the woman she was today.

Once, she had imagined a home filled with laughter, love, and quiet Sunday mornings. Instead, she found herself trapped in a marriage that became a prison. Behind closed doors, her husband shattered her spirit with years of physical violence, sexual abuse, and relentless control. Things took a turn when she found out about her pregnancy and the only thing she ever wanted was to never let her husband's shadow touch her child.

After his death, Niyati rebuilds her life brick by brick. Cold, distant, and feared by her students, she becomes a professor at one of the country's most prestigious colleges. She has stopped believing in love. Happy endings are for other people.

Then walks in Shivam Rajvanshi.

The charming heir to one of India's largest business empires is everything Niyati isn't, warm, patient, ridiculously optimistic, and determined to spread sunshine wherever he goes. The moment he meets Niyati, he knows she's the one he's searching for.

But winning over Niyati is a battle.

As Shivam slowly breaks through the walls around her heart, buried secrets begin clawing their way back to the surface. Because Niyati's husband didn't simply disappear from their lives.

Together, Niyati and Shivam made a choice on one horrifying night that changed everything forever. A choice born from terror, desperation, and the instinct to survive.
