Women's Fiction
One sultry night, a young bride overhears an extraordinary
conversation. The voices speak of a plot to murder a wife
who has failed to produce a child and whose family has
failed to produce the promised dowry... Megha is sick with horror when she realizes she is the
intended victim. Her husband-the very man who tied the
sacred necklace of marriage around her neck-and his mother
are plotting to kill her! In the moment of panic, she runs
for her life. Frantically racing through Palgaum's deserted
streets, her way lit only by the lights strung up for the
Diwali festival, her single goal is to escape death by fire.
But fleeing from her would-be killers seems
impossible-unless she can find someone to help her... To approach her best friend would bring scandal to an
innocent woman's doorstep, and turning to her own strict,
conservative family is out of the question. Instead, with
nothing but the sari she wears and a memory of kindness,
Megha finds her way to Kiran, the one man who has shown her
friendship and respect. Hiding her in his apartment, Kiran
becomes her protector. But the forbidden attraction that
grows between them can only bring more danger. Caught between tradition and the truths buried in her heart,
a dowry bride will discover the real cost of the only things
worth having in life...
