A complicated relationship with his father has Dr. Prashant Bhat fleeing Karimbagh the minute he’s able to. But now he’s back, caring for the family hospital until his father recovers from a heart attack. A hospital his father has sworn to never let him inherit.
Despite the scars the past has left, sparks fly when Sunaina and Prashant meet. Sparks that are visible to everyone and launches the small town gossip mill into overdrive. Sunaina is mortified and a commitment averse Prashant wants nothing to do with any of it, until his father offers him the hospital in exchange for marrying a local girl and settling in Karimbagh. Prashant accepts and proposes to Sunaina, sending the gossiping aunties into paroxysms of delight.
Sunaina believes all her dreams are coming true and Prashant doesn’t have the heart to disappoint her by revealing his true reasons for the marriage.

Or are they destined to live together and yet, forever remain apart?
A Love to Embrace is Book 3 of Hotel Moonshine. It can be read as a standalone but will make more sense if read in order.
