Meera Kane writes literary sapphic fiction set in contemporary India — slow-burn love stories about family, secrecy, shame, and the long walk toward being known. Meera Kane is the author of Bound by Mumbai, a ten-volume series published by Cindermere.
The books are closed-door romances by deliberate choice. The tension lives in what isn't said.

Priya's Surrender
A Sapphic Slow-Burn Romance
By day, Priya Sharma runs one of Mumbai's biggest ad floors like she was born to it. By night, she is starving for something she can't name — the relief of setting the weight down, of being, for one stolen hour, completely undone.
The one steady thing in her life is Shanti: photographer, oldest friend, the person who brings two cups of coffee to the dawn sea wall and has been waiting, without a word, for ten years.
