From Mumbai, with Love: A Novel
About this ebook
Twenty-six-year old fashion designer Diya has been reeling since her mother’s death. She’s always wondered about the identity of her father, and after uncovering a stack of her mother’s letters in Bangla—a language Diya never learned to read—her curiosity grows enough for her to take a DNA test.
When grief causes her to lose a design competition that could have changed her life, the brother she discovers through the test invites Diya to their sister’s wedding in Mumbai to meet the rest of their family. She knows that this is the perfect opportunity to find answers. But what awaits Diya there isn’t just a family; it’s a multibillion-dollar legacy as a daughter of one of the richest textile magnates in India, something kept from her until her arrival.
Struggling to stay afloat in her lavish new reality, and caught between two handsome—but strikingly different—men, Diya is drawn deeper and deeper into the complex web of her father’s empire just as a succession war threatens to tear it apart. Exactly how long can she survive in this glamorous, gilded world of piranhas?
