The Honeymoon Alibi

Two days into their Goa honeymoon, she woke up to an empty room-and blood on the bathroom floor.

Ananya Rao had every reason to feel secure. She built her architectural firm from the ground up, married with her family's blessing, and fell for a man who seemed attentive, gentle, and safe. But when Arjun vanishes without a trace, leaving his passport and a crime scene behind, her quiet life shatters.

To Inspector Dev Kamat, Ananya isn't a grieving bride-she's prime suspect number one. Haunted by a past case where trusting a spouse cost a woman her life, Dev is determined not to be fooled again.

Yet as the missing-persons case pulls them into a dangerous web of political fixers and money laundering, Dev uncovers a shocking truth: Arjun was never who he claimed to be, and he didn't run away. He was running for his life.

With seven days before a lethal syndicate closes in, Ananya and Dev must navigate a maze of lies and shared danger. To survive, an architect who trusted the wrong man must learn to trust her instincts-and a cynical inspector must risk everything on the one thing he swore he'd never trust again.
