A Royal Deception (Reluctant Royals, #3)

Love is for fools—or so the cold, commanding Maharaja Ranvijay Singh Rathore of Mirpur has always believed.
But when his mother forces him into a marriage with the perfect royal bride, his life takes an unexpected—and explosive—turn. Instead of Princess Kavya, the woman he’s supposed to marry, he ends up marrying the wrong woman...
Shivina Kedia never meant to marry a Maharaja.
Too bad she just couldn't resist falling for the forbidden, devastatingly handsome royal bridegroom at first sight.
He was supposed to be Princess Kavya’s perfect match, but when the bride pulls a royal no-show at the wedding, Shivina is forced to take her place… temporarily. Just until the pampered princess shows up.
But when the truth comes out, it’s far too late.
Ranvijay uncovers the ‘bridal switch’, and instead of demanding an annulment, he does something shocking.
He takes Shivina home.
Not out of love—but out of vengeance. He’s determined to punish her for the deception.
Yet, every moment with his fiery new bride sparks a dangerous temptation he can't resist. The passion between them blazes hotter than he ever imagined, threatening to destroy the icy walls he’s built around his heart. He’s sworn to never love again, but the spitfire he’s married tests his every vow. He’s drawn to her fire like a moth to the flame, and the singed wings of his freedom are a price he’s willing to pay.
Shivina is living her wildest fantasy—married to the man who has haunted her dreams.
But this isn't the fairy tale she envisioned. Is she truly his wife, or just a pawn in his twisted game? With every stolen glance and every touch, their connection deepens, but so does the danger lurking in their royal world.
Will the wrong woman end up being the one to melt a heart turned to stone?
Or is this royal romance doomed to unravel in a storm of betrayal, passion, and danger?
One thing is this is no ordinary royal love story.
It’s a pulse-pounding, steamy tale of forbidden desire, deception, and a love powerful enough to bring a Maharaja to his knees.
Dive into A Royal Deception and get swept away by this steamy, angsty, action-packed royal arranged marriage romance where the stakes—and the heat—are higher than ever!
