The Enemy's Alliance

Book 1 of The Alliance Series
(Can be read as a stand alone)

Aarik Singhania doesn't take orders, he takes what he wants. But his late father's will is iron, and it demands for him to marry the daughter of the family he suspects to have destroyed his.

Eraya Mehra has been a ghost in her own life, passed over, pushed aside and now handed over to a man who kills without blinking.

She expects a monster. He expects a bargaining chip.

But the moment their worlds collide, something shifts. She doesn't cower the way he anticipated. He doesn't destroy her the way she feared. Instead, stolen glances turn into cracks in his armor, and the way he says her name starts to sound less like a claim and more like a prayer.

But as the past begins to unravel, Aarik realizes the line between vengeance and love is thinner than he thought. He should keep his distance, he wants to but instead, he finds himself becoming her silent guardian, shielding her from a world that has only ever hurt her, while fighting the darkness within himself.

Because Aarik Singhania doesn't share. He doesn't lose. And he sure as hell doesn't fall in love.

Too bad no one told his heart.
