#3 in His Tainted Series
Aayansh Singhania, a 32-year-old billionaire heir from a prestigious royal family, is ruthless, arrogant, and values only two things: his mother and his work. His life is defined by wealth and power, but he never imagined falling for the woman who was supposed to marry his younger brother.
Aadhya Rajvansh, a 28-year-old aspiring doctor and the Princess of Suryangargh, had once been deeply in love with Aahan, Aayansh's brother. Her dreams of a perfect marriage were shattered when Aahan betrayed her on their wedding day. Heartbroken, Aadhya's life takes another turn when, in a twist of fate, she ends up marrying Aayansh to protect her reputation after her love leaves her on the day of their wedding.
Though their marriage is born out of necessity, not love, as time passes, their relationship starts to shift in ways neither expected.

Our bodies pressed together, heat rushing through me. Aayansh's hands caged me against the wall, his gaze intense and unreadable.
"You have no idea what you've done to me," he murmured, his voice sending a shiver down my spine.
I closed my eyes, torn between anger and an undeniable pull toward him. I should have pushed him away-he was the man who had ruined my brother's life. And yet, I couldn't.
His breath warmed my lips. "I shouldn't want you," I whispered, barely able to control myself.
