She was just the means to an end…until she started to become more. Faced with her parents insistent matchmaking, TIYA SOOD claims to be in a steady relationship. To her bad luck, she blurts out the name of Vihaan Rajpoot—bad boy and serial heartbreaker—as her boyfriend. Convincing Vihaan to agree to her ill-advised plan and play the role of temporary boyfriend was easy, but staying away from him…so hard, especially when she’s been attracted to this bad boy since day one. VIHAAN RAPOOT has lived in the shadows for the longest. Haunted by the events of the past, he doesn’t do serious relationships. With the rising danger on the lives of his loved ones, he is forced to come out in the open and face the man they’ve all been hiding from. Vihaan will do anything to learn more about the events in his past...including agreeing to be Tiya’s fake boyfriend. But when the lines between fake and real are slowly blurred, even the best thought of plans go for a toss. Tiya is everything Vihaan has ever wanted, but being with her is not in his future, yet keeping her at a distance is beyond unbearable. When his enemy raises the stakes in this age-old war, will Vihaan be able to give up the one woman who has begun to mean more to him or will he jeopardise his family's safety? This is Book 2 in the Bond of Brothers Quartet and can be read as a standalone.
