Aashi Sharma is sunshine personified, a vibrant, fact-loving girl with a curious mind and a heart full of dreams. Living a simple life with her mother and brother in Delhi, she finds joy in the little things a blooming garden, a good book, and the warmth of family.
But her life takes a dark, unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Enzo Ricci, a cold and calculating Italian mafia leader who trusts no one. When a fateful misunderstanding makes him believe Aashi is spying on his secret dealings, he does the unthinkable, he kidnaps her and takes her to Italy.
A desperate plea from Aashi's mother for her daughter's dignity leads to a forced marriage, binding two people from opposite worlds.
As Aashi's innocence begins to melt Enzo's ice-cold heart, and his shadows start to invade her light, their story becomes one of love, danger, and redemption.
Will Aashi's warmth be enough to thaw Enzo's frozen soul? Or will the darkness of his world consume the spark she brings into his life?

The girl is an avid dark romance reader and calls him Sunshine from their first meeting i.e. their wedding day. Oh! And the man? He is the usual grumpy cold blooded male lead who likes his guns, sunglasses and cigarettes but he loves his new addiction more. So let the tale begin.. ☆Warning :This story is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It contains mature themes (like sex, blood, violence etc).
