Bombay Ever After

From Love Hudson-Maggio, author of Karma Under Fire and Bombay Baby, comes a heartfelt new collection of three short stories set in and around Mumbai-where love defies all odds and second chances bloom.

In "The Other Flame," a Desi retelling of The Great Gatsby with a hopeful twist, a long-lost love is rekindled against the glimmering backdrop of modern Mumbai. "The Marrying Kind" carries you to a serene wellness retreat in the misty Western Ghats, where a grieving heart rediscovers hope and a chance at love amid healing and new beginnings. And in "Bombay Beatrice," Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is reborn in Mumbai's vibrant art scene as two stubborn rivals trade witty barbs by day and find their sparks turning to passion by night-discovering that the line between art and heart can blur into love itself.

Brimming with emotional insight and vividly evoking the colors, flavors, and energy of India, each story in Bombay Ever After explores the tug-of-war between duty and desire, tradition and the longing of the heart.Love Hudson-Maggio's signature humor, warmth, and keen understanding of cultural expectations shine through, making every page both relatable and deeply moving. This special collection is a heartfelt gift to her loyal readers-a celebration of love, hope, and the resilience of the heart. Bombay Ever After is a love letter to fans old and new, inviting you to laugh, shed a tear, and believe once more that in India's City of Dreams, every love story deserves a second chance.
