Description
He doesn't fall in love. He conquers. Murtasim Khan, a 33-year-old Pakistani Surpanch, is not a man made for happy endings. He is feared across borders, whispered about in underground circles and police files that mysteriously go missing. The cold mastermind behind an empire of blood and silence-he's a monster disguised as a man. A legend draped in a shawl, with eyes sharp enough to kill without lifting a finger. His enemies vanish. His allies kneel. His own family hates him. But the world? The world obeys him. Noor Singh Malhotra, a 26-year-old Indian doctor, was raised on discipline, ethics, and the dream of making a difference. Proud. Brilliant. Untouchable. Or so she thought. When her father's empire began to rot from the inside, desperation did what bullets couldn't-it delivered her to Murtasim Khan's door. He didn't want a wife. He wanted her. Her silence. Her fire. Her very existence. You're not in a fairy tale. You're in his cage. And strangely, it's not the bars you fear-it's the way he watches you like a possession he's waited too long to claim. Your countries are rivals. Your morals clash. But none of that matters to him. Because Murtasim Khan always gets what he wants. And now, what he wants... is you. "Not every cage has bars. Some wear shawls and smirkless vows."
