The Takeover Effect
Book 1 in the Singh Family Trilogy
Hemdeep Singh knows exactly what he wants. With his intelligence and determination, he has what it takes to build his own legacy away from Bharat, Inc. and the empire his father created. But when his brother calls him home, Hem puts his dreams on hold once again to help save the company he walked away from. That’s when he encounters the devastating Mina Kohli in the Bharat boardroom, and he realizes he’s in for more than he had bargained.
Mina will do whatever it takes to recover control of her mother’s law firm, even if it means agreeing to an arranged marriage. Her newest case assignment is to assist Bharat in the midst of a potential takeover. It could be the key to finally achieving her goal while preventing her marriage to a man she doesn’t love—as long as her explosive attraction to Hem doesn’t get in the way.
As Mina and Hem work to save Bharat, they not only uncover secrets that could threaten the existence of the company, but they also learn that in a winner-takes-all game, love always comes out on top.

–Kirkus Reviews
“Sharma’s latest is highly recommended for lovers of romances involving big business and family drama and romances imbued with diverse flair, as well as for fans who fell in love with the work of Sonali Dev and are looking for more stories with a bit of Bollywood sparkle and melodrama.”
–Library Journal Starred Review
“Sharma effortlessly blends the rituals of the culture she celebrates on the page with a steamier romance that slightly bucks the traditionalist notions of the Singh family…The Takeover Effect is yet another example of how a highly specific cultural experience can be undeniably universal, especially when it comes to falling in love…Sharma has also crafted a text all her own that is both a sexy love story and a testament to the power of family, legacy, and knowing how to recognize when you’ve found your way home.”

“I have a serious weakness for alpha heroes who are instantly gone for their heroines, and Hem is exactly that. The Singh brothers are amazing and I can’t wait for the next book!”
