Approved blurb — Priya's Surrender
By day, Priya Sharma runs one of Mumbai's biggest ad floors like she was born to it: sharp, certain,
the daughter her mother is finally proud of. By night, she is starving for something she can't name
and would never say aloud — the relief of setting the weight down, of being, for one stolen hour,
completely undone.
She goes looking for it in rented rooms across the city. She almost marries a kind man to make it
stop. And the whole time, she keeps walking past the one person who has ever truly seen her — Shanti,
who brings a flask of terrible coffee to the sea wall every dawn and has been waiting, without a
word, for ten years.
A tender, slow-burn sapphic love story about shame, surrender, and the terror of being seen all the
way through — and staying.
