Beneath the Crimson Veil
In 1905 Bombay, where power is measured in blood and betrayal, Aditi Rao is bound by duty to her family's criminal empire. As the daughter of Vikram Rao, one of the city's most feared crime lords, she knows her fate is not hers to decide. But when a dangerous alliance forces her back into the path of Veer Malhotra-the son of her father's greatest enemy-her world teeters on the edge of chaos.
Veer has spent years carving his own place in the underworld, ruthless and unrelenting. He has no patience for Aditi's sharp tongue or her defiance. But as tensions rise and war brews between their families, he realizes one thing: Aditi is the only one who can match him, and the only one who could destroy him.
Bound by duty, torn by desire, and caught in a web of deceit, Aditi and Veer must navigate a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weakness. But in a city where betrayal is as certain as the monsoon rains, can enemies ever truly become something more?
