The Secret Bride: An Indian Billionaire Marriage of Convenience Romance (The Bride Book 3)
Armaan Khanna runs New Gen Corp with cold precision, yet his carefully ordered existence shatters when his family's ancient beliefs intervene. A prophecy predicts doom for his intended bride, forcing him into an unusual bargain: marry a stranger for one year, someone expendable enough to absorb the curse's supposed wrath. Viya Mehra has clawed her way through a childhood marked by neglect and rejection, dreaming of engineering while her relatives treat her as little more than a nuisance. A promising job interview promises escape, but instead she discovers herself bound to a powerful man in a ceremony she barely understands. She imagines finally belonging to something real. The truth, however, is far more sinister than she knows. The chemistry between them ignites from their first moment together. Armaan has resolved to maintain emotional distance, viewing this arrangement as nothing more than a business transaction with an expiration date. Yet Viya's quiet strength and unwavering spirit gradually dismantle his carefully constructed walls. What started as a calculated deception begins transforming into something neither anticipated. When long-buried secrets emerge and the circumstances of their marriage come to light, Armaan faces an unexpected reckoning. The curse he sought to circumvent matters far less now than the woman he's come to cherish. Their union, forged in lies and manipulation, must now withstand the weight of uncomfortable truths. Will their bond survive when everything built upon it crumbles, or will the prophecy's shadow claim what they've both come to treasure?
