• Bound by blood, Healed by Love : Shekhawat brother series' book 1
Ranvijay Shekhawat was a man who shattered lives,leaving behind broken promises, betrayed vows, and a fractured family. When he abandoned his first wife, Uttara, and their three sons, Hridhay, Hridhaan, and Hrishav. The family was left to piece together their world without him. But the scars of his betrayal ran deep, especially when Ranvijay remarried Anushka, a woman who gave birth to his youngest son, Heshan,the living reminder of his infidelity.
Years later, a tragic twist forces Uttara into an impossible situation. Anushka, on her deathbed, extracts a promise from her,to raise Heshan as her own. Bound by a sense of duty and compassion,Uttara reluctantly agrees, bringing the child of her husband's affair into the same home where her other sons still carry the weight of their father's abandonment.
For Hridhay, the eldest son, Heshan's arrival feels like a betrayal all over again. Burdened with the role of protector for his twin brothers and fiercely loyal to his mother, Hridhay cannot see Heshan as anything but a symbol of his family's pain. Yet, as the days unfold, Hridhay is forced to confront his anger and resentment as he begins to see the innocent boy behind the name.
Heshan, lost and grieving for a mother who entrusted him to a family that barely tolerates him, clings to Uttara as his only source of comfort. But as he tries to navigate this unfamiliar world, he finds himself yearning for a bond with Hridhay,a brother who might be his fiercest opponent, but also his greatest hope.
Set against a backdrop of familial conflict and emotional tension, this is a story of fractured relationships and reluctant bonds. As Uttara fights to hold her family together, Hridhay and Heshan are drawn into a journey of trust, forgiveness, and unlikely brotherhood.
Can Hridhay let go of the past and embrace the child he once saw as an enemy? Or will old wounds and unspoken pain destroy any chance of a true connection?
