Love
is madness…
When a
thirty-something journalist Anjali meets the charismatic Siddharth, she has no
intention of becoming romantically involved with him. Anjali is a strong,
independent woman, angered by the man’s world she lives in and traumatised by
events in her past. She has no desire to fall in love. Anjali is certain that,
after months of chatting online, when she finally meets Siddharth the charm
will be broken. But she is surprised to find herself attracted to him – and
shocked when they fall into bed together on their first date. Seized by new
emotions that go against everything she believes in, Anjali is caught in a
battle between her head and her heart, between love and self-protection. For
the first time in her life, Anjali is at the mercy of her emotions and
desires…and as she plunges into an affair with a man she knows little about,
she risks losing everything. Set in India, The Plunge is a frank and powerful
examination of modern relationships that every woman will identify with. Told
with astonishing emotional insight, this debut novel will take your breath
away.
Anjali’s thoughts shifted
back to Siddharth as if it were the most natural thing to happen. What did he
really look like? She could not remember his face from the one time she had
seen him in her colleague’s cabin many months ago.
Born

as a journalist in her home country. She loves writing human interest stories
and is drawn to women centric issues.As a child she "had suffered from the
ugly duckling syndrome", she says. She quit her job as a school teacher on
realising it was beyond her ability to discipline students, and switched over
to journalism.She moved to the Gulf (Middle East) six years ago. Currently
based in Bahrain, she is working on her new book, a non-fiction on
relationships, and two more projects, among them a novel set in the Middle East.
