Codename Lotus

Saanya Hazra has lived her life as a carefully curated peripheral character in the lives of powerful men. As the dutiful wife of a ruthless man, her world is defined by silence and obedience. But when her husband is found dead and mysterious, lethal strangers begin stalking her London home, the veneer of her perfect life shatters. Fearing for her safety, her brother forces her into exile at a remote Swiss villa, placing her under the protection of his best friend: Naomi Smith-Chopra. Naomi is the definition of controlled chaos. A corporate shark known for dismantling empires, she prides herself on being detached, logical, and perfectly betrothed to a man who serves as a convenient accessory to her success. She expects the Geneva trip to be a simple security arrangement, but Saanya is the one woman Naomi never finished mourning. As an unexpected pregnancy binds Saanya to the memory of her late husband, she and Naomi become entangled in a high-stakes conspiracy that threatens everything they hold dear. Beneath the danger, old sparks flare into a forbidden, desperate attraction. In a world of brittle secrets and impossible choices, the two must decide if their rekindled connection is worth the devastating price of the truth.
