The Dowry Bride by Shobhan Bantwal

On a dark, sultry night, Megha, a young bride, overhears an extraordinary conversation -- an evil plot by her in-laws to kill her for not bringing the promised dowry. Shocked and terrified, she runs to save herself from death by fire. The only person who can help her is Kiran, a man she barely knows. And yet, he puts his life on the line to protect her.

The attraction that grows between them can only bring more danger. Megha and Kiran are soon caught in a complicated web of greed, vengeance, deceit and forbidden passion. Compelled to choose between tradition and the truths buried in their hearts, they will discover the real cost of the only things worth having in life
