In a society where a woman is taught to be modest, obedient, and accommodating, Avni Khatri has always been expected to know her place.
But Avni has a secret society doesn't want women to admit-
She has desires of her own.
At twenty-eight, Avni enters an arranged marriage with Colonel Rajveer Shekhawat, a disciplined thirty-two-year-old military officer admired for his strength, honor, and self-control.
Everyone believes they are the perfect match.
They couldn't be more wrong.
Rajveer is inexperienced when it comes to intimacy, while Avni is far more confident about what she wants from marriage. She refuses to pretend that a wife's needs don't matter. She wants affection, communication, passion, and a husband who can understand her beyond the expectations placed upon him.
But Rajveer's pride, military discipline, and deeply rooted ideas about marriage collide with Avni's unapologetic nature.
Soon, their bedroom becomes the place where they confront everything neither of them was prepared to discuss-desire, insecurity, vulnerability, expectations, and the uncomfortable truth that sexual compatibility can affect an entire marriage.
And outside their home waits an even bigger battle.
Family.
Tradition.
Society.
The endless question:
"What will people say?"
Avni refuses to let shame dictate what a married woman is allowed to want.
Rajveer must decide whether he will protect the image everyone expects of him-or finally understand the woman he married.
Because sometimes the hardest battle isn't fought on a battlefield.
It's fought between desire and duty.
