She's being forced to marry the man she's hated for years.
The man her sister once loved.
The man who might have killed her.
Four years ago, Viya Mehra's sister died in the arms of the one person who was supposed to protect her-Viansh Rajvansh.
Her boyfriend. Her world. Her end.
The whispers never stopped.
Neither did the nightmares.
And now, neither can Viya-because her family just signed her life away in a deal she didn't ask for.
She's marrying him.
Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. Viansh is everything Viya despises... and everything she can't ignore.
But the more she tries to unravel the truth behind her sister's death, the deeper she falls into a twisted game of secrets, guilt-and something far more dangerous.
Desire.
What happens when hatred burns into longing?
When the truth is darker than the lie she's believed all her life?
When the only man who makes her feel alive... might have destroyed the person she loved most?
Some love stories start with a kiss.
Theirs begins with a death.
A love never meant to be... or was it destined all along?
Not all love stories are written in promises-some are carved in scars.
Married yet strangers, connected yet torn apart-how do you love someone you can't trust?

𝐒𝐢𝐲𝐚 ~ 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 | on Hold
𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 #𝟏 A forced marriage story. POWER, MONEY... These are the only two things he knows in his life. He is the king of Jaisalmer-rude, cold, and ruthless. He is also the leader of the Indian mafia. However, around the world, he is highly respected for the bans he puts on narcotics, human trafficking, child trafficking, and many other criminal acts. He is the Suryavanshi political dynasty leader, the king not only of his principality but also the one who influences the politics of many other areas. His connections are vast. Maybe you imagine he is gentle with those he loves? That would be your biggest mistake. He cares for them but never shows it. Always rude, always distant. But if they ever need him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill for them. He is a man of his word. However, a storm of deep brown eyes filled with innocence-chubby cheeks, and a 5'2" petite figure swept into his life without warning. She wants to fly. He cages her in his arms. She is a broken soul. He fixes her. She is an angel? He is a devil. But the real question is: Is she truly innocent? Or is it just a mask? Join Akshay Singh Suryavanshi and Siya Kumar in their royal love story.
