Asterin, the daughter of a renowned marquis famed for her arresting beauty and vivacious spirit, was ensnared in an affair with the Emperor despite his initial marital ties with another women. In the genesis of their secret relationship, he showered her with unparalleled affection, whispering sweet vows to elevate her to the revered status of concubine and adore her for all eternity.

However, destiny harbored a cruel twist. Upon the triumphant return of the grand duke, a figure whose name was synonymous with tyranny and brutality, a magnificent ball was orchestrated in honor of his war victories. In there, the Emperor declared an unforeseen reward. He proclaimed that Asterin would be bestowed upon the grand duke as his bride in recompense for his valorous deeds.

It was at this harrowing juncture that Asterin discerned the insidious truth-that she was but a pawn in a monarch's game, a fragile plaything now callously discarded to endure agony at the hands of a cruel consort. What path lay before her now? With silent resolve, Asterin vowed that she was going to prove to the sovereign that she will have a happy marriage despite the rumors.

"Veer ji!" she declared dramatically, standing like she was leading a protest. "We want to go inside our room. You cannot keep us standing here." OUR room?! "I am your legally married wife," she continued, placing a hand on her chest like she was reciting a national pledge. "And he is your son." I swear to god, my soul left my body for a second. MY WHAT?! "MY SON?!" I exploded, staring at her like she had grown three heads. "Gosh, I HAVE A SON WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING MY OWN DAMN WIFE?! JUST GREAT!" Siya just smirked. Siya Rathore never imagined herself in an arranged marriage-let alone to Veer Pratap Singh, the cold, brooding heir of a Rajasthani royal family. Where Siya is soft-spoken and gentle, Veer is gruff and distant, a man of few words but piercing stares. Thrown into a world of tradition, grandeur, and expectations, Siya struggles to find her place in a marriage that feels more like a contract than a bond. But in stolen glances and quiet moments, she begins to see glimpses of a man who isn't as unfeeling as he appears. Veer never wanted a wife. But Siya-shy yet strong, delicate yet determined-is unraveling the walls he spent years building. And no matter how much he tries to resist, fate has a way of bringing souls together... even the most unlikely ones. 💛 A slow-burn, grumpy x sunshine arranged marriage romance set against the backdrop of Rajasthan's royal legacy.

Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.' MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, profanity, abusive/toxic relationships, drugs, and other mature themes.
