Two strangers. One marriage. And a past that refuses to stay buried.

When Maya’s world shatters, she’s thrust into an arranged marriage with Arjun—a man of few words and a heart sealed shut. Both are grieving. Both are guarded. And neither expects anything more than a quiet coexistence.

But in the shared silences and unexpected moments, something fragile begins to grow. A glance. A gesture. A softness that neither of them thought they were capable of again.

Just as Maya starts to believe in the possibility of love, the past re-emerges, threatening everything she’s begun to rebuild. Trust is tested. Secrets unfold. And she must choose between holding on to the ashes or turning the page.

Beneath the Burnt Pages is a deeply emotional slow-burn romance about grief, healing, and finding strength in vulnerability. For readers who crave stories that linger—long after the last page.
