Widow Stories

Book 2 in Crimson Crown series Pratha Touch. Claim. Defy. He wasn't born to follow rules. He was the kind of man who made them - and then broke them, just to see who'd dare stop him. In a world built on rituals and fear, Shamsher Dev Thakur roared like a lion. Defeating, yet never bowed. He wasn't from her village. He wasn't part of their traditions. But he was the only man who looked her in the eye... and didn't flinch. She was barely a whisper - a young girl, full of laughter one moment and wrapped in white the next. A bride one day. A widow the next. Left to rot in a corner, forgotten by fate, punished by a world that decided she had lived too much already. But he saw her. She was just... sitting. Still. Staring into nothing. It broke the heart of the man like him. But he made the most dangerous decision of his life: To go against a village that wasn't his. To claim a girl the world had already declared untouchable. To marry her. Not out of love. Not yet. But out of pure, ruthless defiance. This is not a love story. This is the beginning of a war. One man. One girl. And an entire society trying to tear them apart.

At twenty one years old, Y/n Orlova's living memory only spanned the last seven years. All of them having been lived in the suffocating grips of one especially dark organisation; HYDRA. She'd become a slave to their hardening routines, truly believing that the rest of her life would mirror that of what she had lived so far. Never ending darkness. But things changed with the colour red. When an Avenger is captured and Y/n is ordered to watch over them, all she can focus on is the red of her hair. It captivates her, warms her, and before she knows it a small light begins to shine where no light had shone before. And so begins the tumultuous journey of such an unlikely pair. Could this woman be the key to Y/n's future outside the grips of HYDRA? Or will she simply bring false hope and nothing more, surely drowning out whatever light Y/n had left? Love is in the air. Let's hope Y/n doesn't forget how to breathe. - Y/n Orlova x Natasha Romanoff (FxF) - Winter soldier onwards - Natasha is younger (Born 1987) in order to better suit storyline
