"Bound by Shadows"
Zunaisha Ali Khan always dreamed of building a life on her own terms-free from her family's expectations and the suffocating control of her older cousin, Shahzain. At 18, she's focused on her MBA and a future that doesn't include the powerful mafia leader who has haunted her life since the day she was born.
But Shahzain has other plans. Eight years older, ruthless, and obsessed, he's claimed Zunaisha as his since her birth. Now, as their forced marriage looms closer, Zunaisha finds herself trapped in a web of fear, hate, and unrelenting control.
Caught between his dangerous world and her own desire for freedom, Zunaisha must fight against the shadows threatening to consume her life. But escaping Shahzain's grip may be harder than she ever imagined-because in his eyes, she was always his.
