Arjun Malhotra | The Dutiful Son

32 • Eldest Son • Heir to the Malhotra Family

Arjun Malhotra has spent his entire life doing what is expected of him. Controlled, intelligent and fiercely devoted to his family, he became the dependable eldest son long before anyone bothered asking what he wanted.

That includes his engagement.

With his younger brother's extravagant multi-day wedding underway, Arjun expects another week of responsibilities, relatives and carefully maintained appearances.

Then the bride's university best friend arrives from England.

She's unfamiliar with half the traditions, hopelessly lost among hundreds of relatives, and somehow becomes Arjun's responsibility.

At first, he's simply keeping her out of trouble.

Then he's looking for her in every crowded room.

And unfortunately, his fiancée notices.
