Seher Rathore had everything at his fingertips. Money, women, liquor, and power—what else could the minister’s only son need? He was the kind of man who left chaos wherever he went. Jaipur’s elite parties often ended with broken hearts and broken bottles, thanks to his reckless smile. Women whispered about him in silk-draped corridors—his rough charm, his dangerous uniform, and the fact that he never called the same woman twice. For Seher, the world was a playground. A battlefield by day, a drunken dance floor by night. So when a messenger arrived from his father, summoning him to Rajasthan’s dry heartlands for some “royal matter,” Seher scoffed. “Another boring order about the princess and her damn gold?” He downed his drink in one gulp, pulling a dancer into his lap. The thought of leaving the city, his parties, and his women for some dusty desert feud irritated him. He wasn’t a loyal soldier like the rest. He was a Rathore—a name that opened doors and bent rules. But duty was duty. With a sharp curse, he threw on his uniform and rode out, annoyed at the interruption. Little did he know, fate wasn’t dragging him to dusty politics or a royal treasure. Fate was dragging him to her. The woman who would burn down his playboy world with a single glance—Princess Aaliya.
