(It is now available on major e-portals, both as paperback and ebook. Kindly read and see if you like the genre and the content.)

Genre - Mystery-Thriller-Romance 

BLURB: 

Every story has several versions
We look at some and overlook the others
depending on what suits our narrative
and beliefs

Dr. Mrinalini Sengupta is a troubled psychiatrist battling her own demons. She is supposed to testify as a witness in an unsolved murder case but she is disturbed because it will implicate her favourite musician, the sensational rockstar Rudra Raghuvanshi, as the culprit. She is further baffled when Rudra approaches her for an appointment for a consultation.

But it is just the beginning.

Soon, Mrinalini realizes that her life is in danger. And only one person can help her - Rudra.

There are many faces around her, though each is hidden behind a carefully crafted masquerade.

Can Mrinalini fight the shadows and dark secrets of the past, think beyond her fascination for Rudra, and use her mind to uncover the layers behind the masks surrounding her?

In Obscured Affection, we explore the intertwined stories of three couples, each facing their unique struggles in love. The first couple follows a man who has distanced himself from everyone but secretly loves a woman. He becomes her unseen shadow, sending her flowers and letters while remaining hidden. Despite his genuine feelings, he struggles to reveal his identity, leaving her unaware of his deep affection. Meanwhile, a charming foreigner boldly pursues her, unaware that her heart may still belong to someone from her past. In the second story, a kind boss hides his feelings for his playful assistant. She enjoys flirting with others but is afraid of real commitment, keeping him at a distance despite their strong connection. Torn between her desire for fun and the security he offers, she grapples with her fear of intimacy. The third couple centers on a bride who has loved her husband long before their marriage, but he views their union as a burden since he was forced into the marriage. Although she has deep feelings for him, he struggles with his own emotional distance. When she joins his workplace as an intern, the complexities of their relationship come to light, and she hopes her unwavering love can bridge the gap between them. Obscured Affection explores themes of passion, longing, and the challenges of love.

BOOK 1 OF OBSESSION SERIES "Some hearts aren't broken- they're just built to burn." ___________________________♤♤♤ "I will shoot, I swear I will!" I shouted, clutching the gun with trembling hands. "Rudra bhai..." Khushi's voice echoed faintly behind me, filled with fear. Mr. Malhotra smirked, his words venomous. "That's what I expected from a low-life like you. A beast in human skin. Even if I die here, I'll still say it-you're worthless." "Rudra, put the gun down!" Mrs. Malhotra cried. "You've already taken your mother's life. Now you want to take the life of the man who stood by you when your own father threw you away like dust? You're a killer, Rudra." That was it. My patience snapped. Suddenly, the lights went out. A loud bang ripped through the darkness. And in the very next second-the lights flickered back on. Mr. Malhotra was on the ground, lifeless. But here's the thing-I didn't pull the trigger. ●Will Rudra finally uncover who's framing him, or will this death seal his fate for good? ●What truth is buried in Rudra's past that everyone keeps throwing at him?
