Her Merciless Husband (Unlikely Lover Series, #2)

She wasn’t supposed to be his bride.

When her sister fled the mandap,

Mihika Dhawan stepped into her place — wearing her lehnga, carrying her sins, marrying a man who would spend the next year making sure she never forgot it.

Shivansh Goenka

doesn’t forgive. He doesn’t forget. And he certainly doesn’t fall.

Except he does. Quietly, furiously, against every calculation he’s ever made — he falls for the woman his family calls a replacement, the woman he keeps at arm’s length and watches across dinner tables and buys herbs for without leaving a note.

Then she disappears.

Pregnant and alone, Mihika runs from a house that has made clear she is disposable — that her child will be taken, that she will be thanked for her services and set aside. She builds a life in a two-room flat. She names her son after a piece of the name she cannot say.

She thinks she has hidden well enough.

She hasn’t.

He finds her, of course. A man like Shivansh Goenka always finds what he is looking for.

Shivansh Goenka turns the world upside down. And when he finally finds her with their two-month-old son on her hip and ten months of damage between them, he doesn’t rage.

He knocks. A dark, angsty Indian mafia romance. Forced marriage, hidden pregnancy, a possessive anti-hero learning what it means to deserve the woman he cannot stop wanting.
