Bound by Fire and Desire: An Arranged Marriage Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798267775113)

Maya Malhotra never imagined her life would take such a turn. Bound by duty, reputation, and a marriage born out of necessity, she finds herself sharing her world with Ved, a man she once dismissed as stubborn, infuriating, and impossible.

But what begins as pretense slowly shifts into something deeper. Every shared glance, every accidental touch, every storm they weather together blurs the lines between what's real and what's only for show. Just as Maya begins to find comfort in Ved's steady presence, the shadows of her past return in the form of Atharv, her ex, who refuses to let go and threatens to destroy the fragile balance she and Ved have built.

When loyalty, pride, and buried desires clash, Maya must face the truth: does she still belong to the past that betrayed her, or to the man who's teaching her what it really means to love and be loved?

A story of slow-burn passion, heartbreak, and the courage to start over, this novel explores how sometimes love doesn't arrive in the form you expect-it arrives when you least want it, and when you need it most.
