BOOK 2 IN THE ECHOES SERIES
Two years ago, Annika Mathur became the object of Ranvijay Kapoor-Rana's twisted obsession. A vision that invaded his every thought, her face etched into his mind like a brand. He searched for her, relentlessly, maddeningly, consumed by the darkness she sparked in him. When he finally finds her, it's at her wedding-her hands bound to another man-but her soul, he knows, is his.
Annika's life is a nightmare she can't escape. Trapped in a marriage to a billionaire, her every breath, every step, controlled by the man who owns her. She's a prisoner in a life that suffocates her, her spirit broken, her dreams shattered. But Ranvijay's obsession is a fire she can't escape.
In the shadows, they're drawn together in a world of darkness and desire, where pleasure and pain blur. Each encounter, each stolen moment, is a dangerous dance, a risk they're willing to take. They are bound by secrets, lies, and obsessions that threaten to tear them apart-and yet neither can stop the pull.
In a world where no one is what they seem, they're a storm of obsession, control, and destruction. The deeper they sink, the more they lose. What will they sacrifice for a tale this dark, this twisted? Nothing is safe, and no one will walk away unscathed. In the end, it's not love that binds them, but the shadows that haunt them both.
