IN THE NICK OF TIME: CHHATTISGARH (PAN INDIA Series, #1)

Sunshine or Sex Goddess?
Even before architect-business tycoon Ishaan Shukla could decide on a name for her, he finds himself in love with Khushi the moment he sets eyes on her the first time.
Devil-in-Disguise or Lover Boy?
History professor Khushi Chand reluctantly agrees to an arranged marriage with Ashwin, only to find herself deeply attracted to her fiancé’s cousin, a Devil-in-Disguise. For that’s what Ishaan is, trying to entice her away from her chosen path.
Unable to resist the devilishly handsome Ishaan, Khushi decides to have an affair with him. And why not? When her fiancé, who is based in America, never even bothers to take her calls or respond to her messages.
But will Ishaan agree to a brief affair when he is determined to make Khushi his life partner? How could he let the woman he loves marry the cousin he hates?
Khushi refuses Ishaan’s marriage proposal, several times, all because she doesn’t want to hurt her family by breaking off her engagement. Though she feels torn between her indifferent fiancé and the man she’s deeply attracted to.
Will Ishaan be able to change Khushi’s mind?
