Set against the sensual, chaotic backdrop of 1890s Lahore during the height of British colonial rule, Velvet Chains tells the forbidden tale of Edward Hawthorne the 6'4 son of British nobility who has always avoided the temptations of the East, especially the infamous courtesans of Heera Mandi.
But everything changes when he meets Arien, a 5'3 "Desi male courtesan whose sharp tongue, wounded soul, and haunting beauty unravel everything Edward thought he knew about power, desire, and love. What begins as curiosity soon ignites into obsession and then something deeper, more dangerous.
As whispers rise, empires tremble, and escape plans are forged in shadow, Edward must decide: is he willing to destroy everything he's inherited for a love that society calls disgraceful or will he become yet another man who lets Arien slip back into the darkness?
In a world where devotion is a rebellion and love itself is a crime, Velvet Chains is a story of longing, resistance, and the quiet power of being seen.
