The effects of heartbreak on a woman are profound and unpredictable.
When Joe betrayed Noyona, it was the end of more than just a relationship; it was the end of a world she had believed would always belong to her. She hides her anguish under the one barrier she has: the will to survive, after being left broken and alone. Her lifeline and sanctuary becomes her job. She steps into a rhythm of darkness she has never experienced before when she accepts a challenging position at a company with interminable night shifts.
Then, in the midst of that shadow, destiny entices her.
Arjun, a charismatic young man of 25, stumbles into her life rather than planned it. Something forbidden and enthralling develops out of what starts as fleeting interactions and stolen looks. Night after night, they are consumed by their secret, which must remain concealed from the public, but their chemistry is raw and passionate.
Still, nothing ever really gets rid of the past.
Joe comes back, seeking to recover what he lost while feeling guilty, possessive, and frantic. His return stirs up old hurts, sending Noyona into a whirlwind of emotions. Joe's eerie familiarity draws her back into the maze of their shared history, while Arjun's passionate devotion pulls her in the opposite direction.
At this juncture, Noyona must decide between love and treachery, desire and ruin. Will her silence condemn her to a life of yearning and remorse, or can she free her heart from the clutches of the men who possess pieces of her soul?
Hidden evenings, perilous impulses, and the delicate line between love and survival are all themes that run throughout The Secret Affair, which is more than just a romance novel.
