FORBIDDEN FLAMES

Edward Ashford x Roshni Thakur

#1st book of the forbidden series.

A marriage of convenience, A deal , A game, well that's what it was until it wasn't.

In the heart of colonial India, Edward Ashford, a British officer overseeing the railway expansion in Uttar Pradesh, is caught in the complexities of empire and duty. When he is pushed into a marriage proposal with Roshni Thakur, the daughter of a powerful local zamindar, he finds himself entangled in a political maneuver that threatens to change everything.

Roshni, bound by family obligations and the weight of her own resistance, must navigate the delicate balance between duty and her own desires. The marriage, meant to secure her family's future, becomes a fragile alliance between two worlds-one built on power, the other on tradition. As the two strangers are forced into a union of convenience, their growing connection becomes both a dangerous temptation and a painful reminder of the world they cannot escape.
