Rising in Ruins (Royal Secrets #1 Book 3)

Arvinda, an 21-year-old girl burdened by shattered dreams, sacrifices everything for her parents only to face betrayal and humiliation. Forced into a marriage with a 35-year-old village sarpanch, her life becomes a daily torment. After losing her unborn child, she escapes the nightmare, determined to reclaim her dignity.

Aaradhya Singh Rathore, the lost prince of Rajasthan, became a legend in the shadows. At 15, an accident stripped him of his title and family, forcing him to rebuild from nothing. Now, as the ruthless leader of the Italian mafia and a powerful businessman, he rules with fear and authority. Sixteen years later, fate pulls him back to India, to the family and people he left behind. Bound by blood but hardened by life.

When Arvinda, shattered by betrayal and despair, flees her cruel reality, fate leads her to Aaradhya-a man with a penchant for breaking others to maintain his power. Bound by destiny in an unexpected marriage, their worlds collide in a battle of pain and resilience. Will Aaradhya shatter what little remains of Arvinda's fractured soul, or will he uncover a strength within himself to heal what he has never known how to cherish? In this union of broken hearts, the line between destruction and redemption blurs, forcing both to confront their deepest scars.
