Married in Rage by Shilpa Suraj

Harsh Kodela is his family’s black sheep, the blackest ever. He’s the ‘actor’ in his family’s world of politics and power. Except no one knows just how much he’s acting, every second of every day.

Raashi Gadde is the cuckoo in the Gadde nest. A PhD in Aeronautical Engineering, she is the prickly introvert in a family that lives for the media and its spotlight.
The oil to Harsh’s water, the salt to his wounds, Raashi finds herself constantly at loggerheads with the man. When an argument between the two of them at one of Harsh’s movie premieres goes viral, Raashi finds herself the most trolled woman in the state. Harsh’s own image devolves from being the State’s heartthrob to a toxic alpha male, a fact that is unacceptable on a personal and professional level.
When Harsh’s PR team suggests a fake relationship between the two to soothe public opinion, Harsh and Raashi are horrified. But the families convince them that the strategy is sound and most importantly, ‘temporary.’
Until the day, their past catches up with their distorted present and Raashi and Harsh find themselves in a very ‘real’ engaged to be married moment.
Rage propels the couple to stay as far away from each other as possible. But where there is strong emotion, there is also room for more. Can Raashi look past the face Harsh shows the world and see the man he truly is? Can Harsh ever love a woman who stands for everything he could never achieve himself, for failures his father has long reviled him for? Hate and Love may be two sides of the same coin… Can the same be said for Rage?
