He burns with a desire to possess her. She struggles with the urge to resist him.
Aryan Oberoi
Cold, calculating, and always in control—Aryan rules the business world with an iron fist. Emotions are the weaknesses he never had, until he meets Mrinal- a walking sin in heels.
Their one-night stand should have been just that - a single, a wild moment lost to the night. But she lingered, an intoxicating memory that refused to fade. She is the forbidden fruit that haunts his thoughts, a craving that burrows deep, pulling him into an irresistible spiral of desire—one taste was never enough.
When an arranged marriage binds them together, Aryan’s iron will begins to crack. Living under the same roof, the walls around his heart—hardened from years of control—feels a fissure forming. He’s always taken what he wants, but now, he craves more than her body.
He wants her heart.
But her heart belong to another man.
He is not a man who takes no for an answer. He’ll break every rule, defy every boundary, and shatter every defense to make her his. Because if there’s one thing his wife needs to know—it’s that she belongs to him, body and soul.
Mrinal Kapoor
Still reeling from the breakup that shattered her heart, with the man who swore to love her forever, Mrinal does something reckless- a one night stand with a stranger who ignites a fire in her unlike anything she’s ever felt.
The stranger is none other than Aryan Oberoi-Cold, controlling and dangerously irresistible. He’s everything she knows she should stay away from. But fate has other plans, thrusting her into an arranged marriage with the very man.
Despite his cold and cold controlling façade, Mrinal glimpses a side of Aryan no one else sees—fiercely protective and unexpectedly tender, a vulnerability he guards from the world. Slowly, her heart begins to waver, shifting from the love she thought she had lost to her husband.
But when Aryan's past resurfaces and her ex boyfriend comes back, determined to win her over, the secrets between them threaten to tear everything apart. What price will they have to pay for a love forged from desire?

A nice and quick read. Tara has written the plot well. I loved the way Aryan and Mrinal try to understand each other after marriage and adjust to each other. Aryan is the epitome of broody but when it comes to Mrinal he is the softest person. Mrinal's sassy nature was fun to read. Though she has her fears she masks them well with all her sass. I hated the way Mrinal was treated by her father. I was expecting he would get a fitting reply. Ajay in the role of a father- in-law was perfect. The way he advices her was written aptly. There were some instance where the scenes were predictable. Overall a good read, recommended to romance lovers.
This book is completely magical! I mean it’s a billionaire arrange marriage romance and what do I need rather than this?🫠😭

I highly recommend you to read this one! If you love billionaire, grumpy x sunshine, arrange marriage tropes!🫠🫶🏻
My favourite tropes in one book and I loved it! There's something so beautiful in the simplicity of this story and I loved how it easily flowed. The characters were amazing and the storyline was good too! My only complaint would be that it seemed a bit rushed and that miscommunication in the end wasn't my taste!
But the writing was good and I really liked this quick,fun and romantic read!
“You forgot the no-touching rule, Mr. Oberoi.” I raised an eyebrow, playing along. “We definitely broke that rule, Mrs. Oberoi.”

omg I enjoyed reading this book so much🫶♥️ It gave me the perfect desi element that I was looking for. Aryan & Mrinal are perfect for each other. I loved the whole story and every single scene. Even though this book is less than 250 pages for me it was the perfect amount. I would have loved more scenes of them but I was very content with what I read too!
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fast paced desi arranged marriage romance.
I liked the pace of the book - it was easy to read and I was able to finish it in a day. This book highlighted the strong bonds of siblings and friends very well. The struggles and pressure that Mrinal had to go through was heart wrenching. Aryan, although initially a spoilt brat, turns out to be such a pookie! I loved the banter between the two. It was cute how he called her Firecracker and she saved his number by the name - Captain Brood. The revelation gave the book a much needed emotional turn. I would love to read about Anika's romance triangle in the future! If you're looking for a desi romance book, this is the perfect read for you! It will leave your tose curling and blush creeping up your cheeks.
