Moyna's cousin panted at the doorway, heavy with child. Who did this to you? her father shouted.
And Moyna knew that somehow she would be blamed for this unspeakable shame on the family. Her aunt blamed her for all the tragedies, from the death of Moyna's own parents to the riots in Bombay. But, as her cousin lay dying of stab wounds, Moyna promised to protect the baby.
In a panic, eighteen-year-old Moyna made a hasty decision that would return to haunt her years later.
Bullied as a child, Sameer wants to make the world a safer place. He has spurned a cushy career in his father's law firm for public service. Sameer is drawn to the mysterious Moyna when they meet in Los Angeles. The attraction seems mutual, but Moyna remains cautious and secretive about her past, insulating herself from love to protect others from her unlucky curse.
At the cusp of political victory, Sameer faces increasing gun violence and death threats leading to an FBI investigation. But his greatest challenge comes when a shadow from Moyna's past threatens to destroy their future.
What hope do they have with the media hungering for a scandal?
A story of friendship, redemption, and forgiveness, Shadowed Promise is a journey from blind faith to triumphant love.

I couldn't put it down! ...The descriptive style was so vivid, I was laughing and crying the whole time... Amazingly written, wonderful, exciting but also heartbreaking at times - I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a moving, heartwarming story.

Page-turning saga...I couldn't stop until I finished. It was that good. I love to get lost in a big, sweeping saga, and that is what this book delivered... The sights and sounds and smells, were so vivid that I felt like I was there. ... Highly recommended. I look forward to reading more from this author.
