The Devil's Protection
He was paid to enforce the law of the underworld. She was given to him to pay for her father’s sins. Tara Malhotra has spent her entire life protected from her family’s dark secrets. Until the night of her wedding. Before she can even say “I do,” Tara is dragged away from her own wedding and handed over to the most feared man in Mumbai’s underworld. Rudra Rathore. Cold. Ruthless. Deadly. Rudra is the syndicate’s best weapon. He follows orders without question, kills without hesitation, and never lets emotions get in the way. But when he is ordered to punish Tara for crimes she never committed, Rudra sees something no one else does. She is innocent. And for the first time in his life, Rudra chooses to disobey. He turns against the very empire he spent years protecting and takes Tara with him. Now they are running through the dark, rain-soaked streets of Mumbai, with the entire underworld hunting them down. Tara should fear the man who was supposed to destroy her. Instead, he becomes the only man standing between her and death. And Rudra knows he should let her go. But when the woman he was ordered to break becomes the one person he is willing to kill for, there is no going back. Because the underworld has never feared Rudra Rathore. Until he found something worth protecting.
