"She is fire, he is ice. One glimpse of her ignites his stone cold eyes."
*
Devi always knew her life meant something. It holds, some purpose. Like every Jane Austen women, she was self-reliant, fierce when absolutely calls for it, a rebel and a radical.
Ashoka was an Emperor and an maestro in suppressing rebels and radicals. And was certain about his legacy of conquer and despair, and royal protocols he did have to hold up to.
*
"The heat of her body melts the frozen parts of his heart. He walks through flames just to feel her closer or apart."
*
She was grace in disguise. Heart of gold. Face of an angel. The epitome of beauty.
He was the monster, the behemoth, the beast. And was known for his unuasual rough skin.
Loved by all. Cared by her 'Dada'.
She tore apart the chest of time, to mend HIM
Despised by his father. Lost his mother, the only woman who loved him unconditionally.
He tore apart a country and left thousands to die, only to catch a glimpse of HER.
*
This is the story of Devi and Ashoka.
This is the story of the Future and Past, and everything in between.
*
"I will love you till I die,
And I will love you all the time;
Please put your sweet hand in mine,
And float in space;
And drift in time.
All my time until I die,
We'll float in space just you and I."
~ DEVI

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
*This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
