Sparks will fly when East and West collide... India, 1851 When the British first arrived, Meera saw them for who they were: ruthless invaders who cared nothing for the land and the people who called it home. Captain Michael Dalton proves her wrong. But as the Guardian of the Forest, she can't afford to let her walls down, even if this kind-eyed English soldier stirred her heart in ways she had never experienced before... Michael Dalton thought the secret forest was a dream—a lush woodland, hidden just a few miles from their barracks, full of fragrant blooms and aromatic fruit… And then she had appeared. Long, dark hair. Stunning amber eyes, huge and ringed with kohl. He has to see her again. When Meera meets Michael, the attraction between them is undeniable. But what Michael doesn't know is that there's more to Meera than meets the eye...and her secret could end up being the death of them both.

Magic. Wonder. Mystery. A love story almost two centuries in the making. And a faceless enemy lurking in the shadows... When eighteen-year-old Samantha visits India for the first time in ten years, she expects to spend the summer before she starts college reconnecting with her grandmother - the last link she has to her roots and her father's homeland. No one around Sam knows what to make of this half Indian-half white girl with her purple hair and her ripped jeans, but that's fine - because she's not here to make friends. Vikram, on the other hand, is great at making friends. As long as they're customers. He's spending his summer working at his dad's flower shop. He's desperate to prove that he can take over the family business. When these two meet, there's an instant attraction. But between them lies the shadow of a two-hundred-year-old love story and a murky prophecy. Add in a hidden enemy determined to keep them apart, and things aren't going to go smooth. And then there's the fact that there's more to Vikram than meets the eye. Sam could almost swear there's something... otherworldly about him...
