Annika's Passion — Kennedy Claire

After Annika Bashir falls deeply in love with her “hot, billionaire doctor” -- or HBD for short -- she thinks her happily-ever-after is a sure bet. But her bitter and maligned ex-fiancé, Kareem, isn't quite done with her.
Not by a long shot.
Turns out, he's taking this matter to a jury of their peers.
And if she thinks her handsome and wealthy fiancé, Dr. Kiran Patil, will swoop in and fix everything right away, she's in for a rude awakening. Caught up navigating the construction of a new orphanage in India alongside the beautiful -- and dangerously flirtatious -- philanthropist Lucy Vanderbilt, Kiran faces his own set of obstacles as he strives to get out from under the thumb of his overbearing and controlling father who would like nothing more than for his son to dump the Texas doll and marry into true family wealth.
Unfortunately, Annika is distracted by her own drama and testing his patience.
Faced with the fight of her life in a court of law -- and the court of public opinion -- she must survive Kareem's appetite for revenge, betrayal and abandonment by her family and friends, and her dark secret revealed that she isn't quite the chaste virgin her mother thinks she is. Annika must risk losing everything to save her good name and prove to all the critics that she's not the same shallow person she was before that fateful trip to India.
In the end, Annika is face with two choices: her future with Kiran, or her foolish pride.
But choosing is not as easy as it sounds.
