SHOWDOWN
CONTENT WARNING 18+ This book is not for sensitive readers. "Sometimes Maya, I want to touch you in a way that excites you. Disgusts you. To touch every inch of that honeyed skin that it hurts you. Dishonors you. A touch so dirtying that it destroys you -Dev Suryavanshi Maya Sule has spent her life believing that safety is a choice. At twenty three, her world is small, controlled, carefully guarded, built on routines. She trusts in order, in predictability, in the quiet certainty that nothing truly terrible can reach her if she is careful enough. Obedient and meek enough. She is wrong. Dev Suryavanshi does not arrive as a storm. He arrives as a curse. A man of influence...unspoken power, Dev moves through Mumbai unseen yet omnipresent, respected by some, feared by most, questioned by none. When his path crosses Maya's, it is not chance but consequence. And something dark and dangerous is set into motion. Caught between resistance and desire, instinct and longing, Maya is drawn into a dangerous game. With every step closer to Dev, the city tightens around her, secrets surface, and the line between punishment and sin becomes a slow, aching invitation. This is not a story about falling in love. It is a story about a mistake and the cost of surviving it.

ASHES OF DEVOTION
"He didn't break her all at once-he did it slowly, gently... until she forgot what it felt like to be whole." Anaya thought marriage would be quiet. Not perfect. Not passionate. Just... safe. Instead, she found herself trapped in a life where silence spoke louder than cruelty-and kindness came with conditions she didn't understand until it was too late. Arjun Malhotra was never loud with his power. He didn't need to be. A look. A word. A pause too long-and the world around her shifted just enough to remind her who she belonged to. To everyone else, he was controlled. Respected. Untouchable. To her... he was the reason she learned how to smile through pain. The kind of man who never raised his voice- but still managed to leave bruises no one could see. And the worst part? She stayed. Not because she was weak. Not because she didn't know. But because somewhere between devotion and destruction... she fell in love with the man who was quietly unmaking her. This isn't a love story about healing. This is a story about what happens when love becomes possession... and devotion turns into something that burns.

Find Love in Forced Marriage Historical Dark Romance | 1943, Bengal - Kalighat In the heart of colonial Bengal, where power, pride, and prejudice ruled stronger than love itself, two worlds collided under the weight of a forced vow. Lord Theodore Norman, an English aristocrat raised amidst privilege and pride, has lived by a single rule: never yield to emotion.

But when his family forces him into marriage with the daughter of a wealthy Indian Zamindar, Theodore's carefully built walls begin to crack. She is everything he was taught to look down upon-brown-skinned, spirited, and unafraid to defy him. She is Siya Roy Chaudhary, a woman born into luxury but chained by her father's ambition. To her, marriage to a British lord is not honour, it is imprisonment. A gilded cage wrapped in silk and sorrow. Her heart, once filled with dreams of freedom and belonging, now burns with fury and resistance. LORD THEODORE NORMAN He stared at the young girl in front of him. As far as he could recall, his parents arranged his marriage to this girl. A Zamindar's daughter and an Indian at that. What bad taste. Zamindars needed the British government's support; no wonder they were always trying to curry favour with the British. Never thought he'd be the one having the bad luck of marrying an Indian. "So..it's you?" He asked her in a slightly irritated tone. SIYA ROY CHAUDHARY "Sacrifice of my freedom and being caged to him forever?" She snapped, the sharpness of her voice slicing through the air, and stormed into the bedroom, the door closing with a soft thud behind her. Her words felt like daggers, piercing deep into his heart. He hated the way she spoke about him, especially in the presence of his parents.Complete
