Ecstasy of Damnation

Zahra, a brilliant botanist cursed with a rare affliction that makes human touch agonizing, lives a solitary existence, her world confined to the vibrant, healing gardens she cultivates. But when Shahmeer, a notorious underground 'fixer' with an uncanny ability to soothe any pain, crashes into her carefully constructed life, her meticulously built defenses begin to crumble. Shahmeer, burdened by a past he cannot escape, sees in Zahra not a patient, but a challenge, a soul he believes he alone can reach. As their worlds collide, their forbidden connection ignites a dangerous spark, threatening to expose Shahmeer's dark secrets and force Zahra to confront a longing she thought long dead. Can their desperate desire overcome a curse designed to keep them apart, or will their passion become their ultimate destruction?
