A steamy, heart-mending single-dad, grumpy-sunshine, marriage-of-convenience romance—complete with slow-burn heat, found-family feels, and one fiercely protective alpha hero.

Aadhaya Mehra never planned on an arranged match, but a schoolteacher with a sunshine smile can’t ignore a child in pain. When the icy billionaire widower across town offers marriage so his lonely little girl can have a mother’s love, Aadhaya says yes—even though her heart still dreams of a love match.

Aryan Nanda lives for duty and for his daughter, Mia. Cold, composed, and haunted by loss, he vows never to love again…until his new wife’s laughter fills the halls he thought would stay silent forever.

• Marriage of convenience turns into a slow-burn, steamy battle of hearts as Aadhaya’s warmth chips away at Aryan’s granite-hard walls.

• Single-dad angst & fierce protectiveness collide with grumpy-sunshine banter and late-night comfort that crackles into undeniable chemistry.

• Misunderstandings and the ghosts of grief threaten their fragile new family—until a pulse-pounding crisis forces Aryan to choose between fear…and the woman who can heal them all.

If you crave brooding widowers, nurturing heroines, found-family redemption, and swoon-worthy heat, Bound by Love will steal your breath and mend your heart.

Contains mature content, emotional triggers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
