Synopsis:
Rani Shah is everything I can't have -- too young, too sweet, too innocent. Not to mention, she's my late wife's sister and my son's nanny.
So when she asked me to kiss her, I should have refused.
When she begged me to touch her, I could have turned her down.
When she coaxed me to take the one thing she's never given away -- her virginity -- a better man would have walked away.
Should have, could have, would have...
But I didn't.
She should have been living the carefree life of a nineteen-year-old.
She could have avoided all my broken pieces and jagged edges.
She would have been able to save herself before I got a taste.
Should have, could have, would have...
But she didn't.
Some love stories are forbidden from the start.
Ours is one of them.

I prefer to call myself a storyteller rather than an author. I'm a mom to two beautiful little girls and a wife to an incredibly supportive husband. My days start with caffeine and sometimes end with a glass (or three) of wine.
I'm a Texas raised Indian American currently living in the Bay Area. With a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, I've had a successful career building software products but writing is both my hobby and my passion.
For me, writing and reading are an escape from real life. I love meeting and creating characters who I'd love to take out for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. My goal as a storyteller is to distract my readers from their daily grind with stories about everyday couples finding and fighting for incredible love with the help of a little luck. -- SWATI M.H.
