Everything I do..
“All I wanted was a son. A boy. A heir. To carry the family name and the company forward into the future. Instead I got you! Two daughters. Fit for nothing except to marry someone and walk away.”
Kajal Rathore had walked out of her home and her father after that confrontation, making a life and living it on her own terms. Away from the archaic chauvinism that made her father reject her because she was not the son he wanted.
Now her father’s flailing health has brought her back to her home. And to the company that had been in her family for generations. Once Kajal had had a dream of becoming a part of that company and now fates were handing over that dream. But to claim it, she will have to confront the father who denies her, the mother who never stood up for her, the sister who needs her and the man who wants her.
“I want you to marry Kajal. I don’t..I can’t trust her with Rathore Industries. But I don’t have a choice. But if you are beside her, I would never have to worry. Marry her and the company would be yours.”
Arjun Shekhawat was deeply indebted to his boss. The man who had been his godfather and his mentor. Refusing him was not on cards. Even when it was something as personal as marriage. After all, it was a win-win situation.
But keeping the promise meant getting close to his boss’s daughter. Close enough to win her trust, to appreciate the person that she was and the secrets that surrounded her. Close enough to fall in love with her. And to realize that he had unwittingly agreed to become the weapon that would one day be used against her.

Kajal was a total badass and her dad was an ass. That's all I remember about this super cliched, bland romance.

This book is a copy of Linda Howard's --> Mackenzie's Mission
Look for the paragraphs and paragraph lifted from the famous author which is copyright protected.
"adolescence that men had no idea how uncomfortable women's fashions usually were and really didn't care, since they themselves weren't called upon to spend hours standing in tendonshortening high heels, encased in sweltering hosiery"
This was just from the initial chapters. I could not get past the obvious rip off.

Everything I do... Review
Enjoyed the story. Although they are culturally different from my upbringing, I believe you have to respect others culture. But let me also say the dad needed a swift kick, cultural differences or not. Still a good story and glimpse into other cultures.

A beautiful love story of two very strong and hard headed individuals who hated to lose and surrendered only to love…. Shivraj a very weak individual who feared the strength of women so much so that he tried endlessly to crush his daughters fighting spirit and strength and failed miserably. Though the patriarchal system and its overrated misuse of power have been narrated as the main villain of the story, it is the women who succumb to its pressure without giving it a fight who are the real culprits. Kajal and Kavya’s mother Sushma was from a very progressive family and the family supported the girls through thick and thin. The protection Sushma got from her family to raise her kids without having them harmed was never extended to her daughters especially the elder one Kavya. She just turned a blind eye towards her husband’s behavior how much ever they harmed their daughter’s. And by breaking that self-imposed cage Kavya helped herself and also her unborn baby to have a better life. Arjun – the name so apt for him. He was the perfect solution for Shivraj. The perfect antidote. Both Kajal and Arjun who respected and loved family in the true sense found their family in each other.

Another strong storyline and masterpiece. Suvika has so beautifully written such a sensitive issue that is part of South Asian culture. Definitely a must read.

a very well written , must read for aspiring girls and shows the true face of the society, especially the upper class who are well educated but still have the mindset of an illiterate.
