Avni Mehra has spent years hiding her secret—an unshakable crush on her brother’s best friend, Ritwik Malhotra. He was her first love, her silent longing, the man she could never have. But to Ritwik, she was always off-limits, a girl he was meant to protect, not desire.
After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Ritwik buried himself in work, vowing never to love again. Guilt and grief have kept his heart locked away—until Avni steps into his life once more, not as the little girl he once knew, but as a determined intern at his company. She’s bold, relentless, and dangerously tempting.
She challenges his rules, tests his self-control, and makes him feel things he thought had died with his past. The more he resists, the more he craves her, until staying away is no longer an option.
But loving her means breaking every vow he made to his past. And when old wounds and forbidden desires collide, will Ritwik fight his feelings, or finally surrender to the passion he can no longer deny?
A heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and longing, Bound by Passion will leave you breathless.

MY REVIEW
Ritwik Malhotra is a workaholic, who has buried the pain of losing his wife in an accident. He has also consciously made a decision never to feel emotions.
Avni Mehra has always had a crush on her brother’s best friend, but has never been taken seriously, considering she’s several years younger than Ritwik.
Some years later, when she goes to work at his company, Ritwik is blown away by the deep attraction he feels towards his best friend’s sister, doing his best not to acknowledge it.
But Avni has a mind of her own, and she’s determined to revive the childhood crush into full blown love.
Will Ritwik fall for her? Read this beautiful, and steamy love story to find out.
I liked the author’s style of writing. It’s beautiful, passionate and full of emotions. Ritwik’s back story will make you cry, when you finally understand why he is what he is. As for Avni, she’s enough to string any man’s heart. How can Ritwik fail to fall for her?
Go for it! It’s totally worth a read.
