The Devil's Daughter

Arshia Khurana has never known the meaning of the word no. As the adored princess of the Khurana empire, she was raised in the glow of absolute privilege. The world sees her mother's ethereal beauty, but they often forget the darkness she inherited. Arshia isn't just a socialite; she is the "Devil's Daughter," carrying the same dangerous streak of obsession that once made her father a legend.

She thought she was the hunter. She thought the man she chose would be the luckiest soul alive. She was wrong.

He wasn't a prize to be won; he was a reckoning.

Dakshit Duhan is a man fueled by a hatred so deep it has become his only truth. He doesn't move for desire; he moves for vengeance. When Arshia sets her sights on him, she doesn't realize she's reached into a furnace.

Dakshit isn't intimidated by her name or her family's shadow. He has been waiting for someone exactly like her-someone precious enough to break.

In a world where Arshia is used to everyone bowing, she has finally met the man who will make her crawl. She wanted fire; now, she's going to burn.
