Summary

"I am all about those Singh brothers!"-- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author

Rajneet Hothi built her empire with sweat, blood, and information. She knows everything there is to know about Ajay Singh, the future CEO of Bharat, Inc., as well as how crucial he is in securing her future. But she didn't expect the passion that burst between them the first time they went head-to-head. She'd never felt anything like it before, especially during her marriage to her soon-to-be-ex-husband. When her company is blamed for her ex's dirty dealings with Bharat, she's forced to prove that Ajay is no match for her in the art of business or seduction.

Ajay shouldn't trust Raj or her company. He's on the verge of losing everything his family has worked to achieve, but he can't stop thinking about the breathtaking way Raj opens her mind, body and heart to him. Throwing his infamous caution to the wind, he tempts the gorgeous CEO into his bedroom and boardroom. He soon realizes he wants Raj by his side and he's willing to fight the people he's always protected to be with her.

When Raj and Ajay discover the source behind Bharat's leak, they must trust each other and work together to defy the odds and save the Singh legacy.

A powerful and dynamic CEO meets her match in the dedicated scion of a wealthy business family. The reputation of Rajneet Kaur Hothi's New York--based business empire is threatened when her soon-to-be ex-husband pilfers privileged information from her client Bharat, Inc. Reeling from the betrayal and on the cusp of a major life change, Raj realizes that Bharat holds the key to the professional future she has newly envisioned for herself. In order to fix the damage done to her client and secure her own career goals, she is required to deal with Ajay Singh, the future CEO of Bharat. Ajay is intrigued and challenged by Raj while the seasoned businesswoman is surprised at Ajay's ability to outmaneuver her. They give in to their mutual attraction, but Raj, who has defeated enormous odds on her path to success, finds it difficult to overcome the mental blocks keeping her from committing to a dynamic and rooted man. Meanwhile, Ajay must find it in himself to trust Raj while he takes on formidable and manipulative business rivals. The second installment in the Singh Family series, after The Takeover Effect (2019), picks up where its precursor stopped and hurriedly references crucial previous developments. The Singh family continues to be warm and endearing, providing a sweet foil to Ajay and Raj's hot sexual chemistry. Several delicate questions about the place of tradition in South Asian identity are tangentially referenced but left unexplored. Instead, Sharma chooses to depict a warm and compelling (if idealized) portrait of interpersonal relationships in a wealthy Indian American family. An engaging love story peppered with intrigue and insight. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

Booklist Review

Strong, smart, gorgeous, and classy, Rajneet Kaur Hothi is a powerful businesswoman who runs her own security firm, but a secret from her past in India threatens to tear down all that she's built from scratch in New York. A marriage of convenience lent Raj an air of respectability, but now that her husband has betrayed her and divorce is imminent, she must turn to someone else to help save her reputation. She would also like to get a little revenge. Ajay Singh, CEO of Bharat, Inc., is his father's second son and the one destined to lead his family business, but only if he can find out who's been stealing data internally. The proposal is for Ajay to purchase Raj's company and root out the mole in Bharat, Inc., but late-night meetings turn into hot and heavy debates that have this controlling seductress admitting that she's the one being seduced. Sharma's sexy sequel to The Takeover Effect (2019) sizzles, and fans of workplace romances will be aching to find out what happens next in the Singh Family trilogy.
