Bound in Love is a collection of eight stories on the dark side of human relationships. They talk of love in its different shades, some conventional and some not so conventional. Topics like difficult relationships with parents, love amidst poverty, love for someone who is destined to die, erotic BDSM love in a medieval setting, are handled with great sensitivity in these stories.
Though the stories are miles apart from each other in terms of their settings and tone, there is one common thread that binds them — that being in love is never an easy thing.
