His Reluctant Queen

To the world, **Mahir Sehgal** is an untouchable force-the ruthless, cold-hearted billionaire tycoon and the reigning modern-day King of Jaipur. He rules his corporate empire and his royal heritage with an iron fist, completely detached from emotion. Love was never a part of his blueprint. Until he steps onto a college campus as a chief guest and locks eyes with *her*. One look at the innocent, starlight beauty with a hidden sorrow in her eyes, and the King makes an unyielding vow: *She will be his Queen.*

**Mayra Kapoor** is a sweet, gentle soul who has spent her entire life living in the dark. Despite being the daughter of elite business giants, she has only ever known strict negligence, constantly begging for a drop of parental warmth she never receives. Scarred by a toxic, abusive ex-boyfriend and falsely blamed by her own family for the trauma she endured, Mayra has built walls around her fragile heart. She doesn't want love. She certainly doesn't want marriage.

But when her ambitious father eagerly trades her hand in marriage for a life-altering corporate deal offered by the King of Jaipur, Mayra finds herself trapped. Forced into an alliance she bitterly resents, she steps into the grand royal palace expecting another captor.
She expects a prison. Instead, she finds a cold, fiercely protective King who is ready to burn the entire world down just to see her smile.
