THE MARRIAGE MANDATE

Three years of professional loyalty. One ruthless move. A lifetime of belonging to a monster. ​Kaya Kapoor was the only one who could survive the storm that is Asher Sinclair. As his personal assistant, she was the shadow to his light, the silent force behind his lethal arrogance. She thought she was an asset; she never realized she was an acquisition he had been stalking for years. ​But the "King of New York" is tired of the professional distance. He doesn’t want a dedicated employee anymore—he wants a wife. And in Asher’s world, a "request" is a mandate that cannot be ignored. ​When Kaya tries to defy him, she learns the true depth of his cruelty. With a single phone call, her brother is blacklisted and her father vanishes into thin air. Asher isn't just asking for her hand; he is systematically dismantling her world until the only thing left standing is him. ​Standing in his obsidian-glass office, Kaya faces the ultimate surrender. To save her family, she must sign a contract written in terror and sealed with a kiss that feels like a brand. ​The terms are simple: ​Obey his every command. ​Never push him away. ​And become the unwilling Mrs. Sinclair. ​Kaya hates him with every fiber of her being. Asher doesn't care. He has finally moved his final pawn across the board, and this time, he’s playing for keeps. ​But what happens when the "perfect assistant" becomes the "perfect prisoner"? ​Can Kaya find a way to break the man who has already broken her world? Or will she drown in the dark obsession of a husband who would rather see her in ruins than see her free? ​Step into the world of Sinclair Holdings, where the contracts are signed in blood and "I do" is a death sentence.
