WHAT TO EXPECT
Do we really have control over how we feel for somebody? Can we stop ourselves from falling for someone, even if we know he’s just not right and means only trouble?
Riya is a millennial who watches Splitsvilla, worships David Guetta, and sways to Ed Sheeran tunes … She knows nothing of passion, agony, gallantry, sacrifice, and love—until the day she meets Captain Virat. Captain Virat is a Black Cat commando with the NSG, India’s elite counter-insurgency Special Forces unit. He is swift, sharp, lethal, and dark. He has trained across the globe and wrangled with many dangerous situations. There’s nothing he cannot handle—except his own demons.
When Riya meets Virat at an art exhibition in Delhi, sparks fly, but he then just disappears, leaving her brokenhearted. Riya moves to Mumbai to start afresh, but a different kind of danger stalks her there. Under the burning dome of the Taj Palace hotel, Riya and Virat’s lives intersect once again. Then he leaves … again. Crushed, Riya decides to leave it all behind for the remoteness of a village in Kashmir. But peace is short-lived. The prime minister’s visit to the Valley brings violence, and gunfire, back into her life. As they find themselves behind the enemy lines in PoK, can Virat snatch her away from the jaws of death this time too? Can there be a happily ever after for Riya and Virat?
Love Story of a Commando brings together the mystique and perils of the uniform with an epic romance that must brave the fragility of these present times.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An alumnus of Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Swapnil Pandey has worked in many places and held several positions, which is the trademark of any Army Wife. She has worked in Wipro, and HDFC, and taught at Lovely Professional University and the Army Public School, to name a few. She is also an active AWWA member.
Swapnil is a fitness freak and a green tea addict who loves shoes and perfumes. She wears her ‘silent rank badges’ proudly, and loves compiling stories about life in the Indian Army on her blog. The extraordinary Army life has given her a vast canvas of stories and helped her gain an insight into human emotions and struggles. The courageous veer naris, the extroverted Army brats, the charming Army wives, and the gallant soldiers whose lives are filled with joy, sorrow, adventure, and even horror, have inspired her to be a storyteller. She believes people should not only know about a soldier’s valor but also about his hidden emotions. Love Story of a Commando is her second novel after the bestselling Soldier’s Girl: Love Story of a Para-Commando.
