Personality

Cold and intimidating in public

Extremely controlled; rarely loses his temper

Strategic and calculating

Doesn't trust easily

Fiercely protective of the people he considers his own

Has a dry, almost sarcastic sense of humour

Carries years of anger over his family's tragedy

Hates being emotionally vulnerable

His biggest flaw

He believes control is the same thing as protection.

His revenge against Rahita's family becomes so consuming that he initially doesn't consider what his actions are doing to her.

Appearance

Tall, broad-shouldered, dark hair, intense eyes, usually dressed in black, charcoal or tailored suits. His presence is quiet rather than flashy—he doesn't need to raise his voice to command a room.

Independent

Warm toward people she trusts

She often reacts emotionally before thinking about the consequences.

She looks shy but is a sexy baddie.

She's also initially too trusting of her family—which makes discovering the truth about her father particularly devastating.

Appearance

Petite/slim build, expressive dark eyes, long dark hair and delicate South Asian features. Her style changes throughout the story—from simple contemporary outfits to increasingly elegant traditional clothing after entering the Singh household.

Her relationship with Birajo

Initially:

“There has to be more to him than this.”

Eventually:

“I hate what he did to me. But I can't deny what I feel for him.”

Rahita Sharma never knew why a ruthless stranger was watching her.

Until the night Birajo Singh took her.

At thirty-six, Birajo is powerful, feared, and driven by one thing—revenge.

Thirteen years ago, his family was destroyed in a devastating fire. Every piece of evidence pointed toward Rahita's father.

So Birajo takes the one thing he believes will hurt his enemy most:

his daughter.

Rahita is dragged into the world of the Singhs and forced into a marriage with the man who claims her family ruined his.

But Rahita refuses to become his helpless victim.

She fights him at every turn.

And the more she fights, the more Birajo finds himself drawn to the woman who was supposed to be nothing more than a pawn in his revenge.

Then Rahita discovers a secret hidden for thirteen years.

Her father may not have been responsible for the fire.

Someone else was.

Someone inside the Singh family.

And Rahita may be the only person who can reveal the truth.

Now the man who kidnapped her needs her help.

The woman he intended to break may be the one person capable of destroying everything he believes in.

Because sometimes...

the enemy you were taught to hate is the only person who can save you.

And the biggest question throughout the novel:

> What happens when the man who took Rahita's freedom becomes the man willing to risk everything to give it back?
