Always Been You: A Second Chance Romance

They married in a rush - a beach wedding in front of four hundred people, a honeymoon neither of them wanted to end. Then a man from her past planted a doubt in her husband, and Veer Merchant let her go without ever saying goodbye. Tara married the Merchant heir before she'd learned to trust him - Goa sand, foreign sunsets, and a vow she meant. But she never fit the old-money house he came from, and she never told him about the powerful casting director who'd owned her career before she was anyone. So when Kabir Advani laid old footage and old messages on Veer's desk and called her a climber, the doubt did the rest. Veer didn't accuse her. He just stopped believing she'd ever loved him - and under his mother's cold pressure, he let their marriage go quiet. They never divorced. They just stopped. Two years later, Tara is the biggest star in the country, and Merchant Films is one flop from being sold. There is exactly one actress who can save it - and taking the role puts her back on a set opposite the husband who let her go, with the woman his family picked to replace her watching from the wings and her old predator still certain he owns her. But Tara isn't the frightened girl Kabir used anymore. And this time, when he reaches for the same weapon, she won't come to the fight alone. All Veer has to do is the one thing he failed at once: choose her before he has proof. Always Been You is a steamy, glamorous second-chance contemporary romance featuring a whirlwind marriage, a still-married estranged couple forced back together, a Bollywood film world, a survivor who becomes an avenger, a hero who has to earn back the woman he failed, and a hard-won happily ever after. No cheating, no cliffhanger - a guaranteed HEA.
