Shahira, a young, divorced mother of a seven-year-old son, wants nothing to do with a man, ever again. But circumstances have forced her hand, and Hussain’s unusual proposition leaves her secretly relieved. As per their contract, she’ll have his name, will be paid to look after his ailing mother and motherless daughter and will be left well alone by him. Perfect!
Until her new husband decides to stop playing by the rules.
Hussain is suave and rich. He is nobody’s fool…and is not about to be bested by the ex-schoolteacher he is married to. He has Shahira in his sights and she has to have all her wits about her in order to hold him at arm’s length. Will she ever be ready for the kind of marriage he wants?

Me thinks
This is the second book I am reading by the author and yes my expectations were a bit high having loved her previous work Haveli.A tall brooding hero and a strong independent heroine, well that now is an interesting mix that would attract any reader to the story making him drown in those pages and that is what happened with me too. I enjoyed reading the gripping story line that the author had penned for this book and for the happy endings lover in me, this book was like a gift from heaven.
It was cute, sweet, spicy, and tangy and tongue tantalizing all in perfect doses making it a nice, engrossing read. Recommended for people who love reading such light entertaining reads!
Foodie Verdict
This book is like raspberry cheesecake - sweet and goey!
