Stolen Hearts - Synopsis of a novel written by Rohit Gahlowt

Stolen Hearts
By Rohit Gahlowt

Retired Colonel Shamsher Singh’s only daughter Sonia is about to get married to a rich playboy and a Casanova who is known as the bad boy of town. Drugs, drunken driving, affairs, he has had his share of it all.

The Colonel is desperate to stop the marriage and his friend-cum-Secretary suggests something called Stockholm syndrome where a hostage befriends the nice kidnapper.

The Colonel is shocked and initially refuses but then he does a bit of research to find out that Stockholm syndrome is the real deal. If he gets his daughter kidnapped by the boy he has chosen for her to marry and then sends them off to his cottage in the Himalayas then she might start to like her abductor and maybe even cool down about her fiancé!

Two young souls, in the beautiful environs of the mountains, alone in a secluded cottage. The man, a perfect gentleman. And the girl suffering from infatuation with the biggest idiot in the world. Soon she will surely realize the folly of her ways and will not be able to resist the charms of the man who has abducted her. And moreover, the kidnapping will be a fake one. So no one but the daughter will know she has been ‘kidnapped’! If anyone asks he will tell them that she has gone on a vacation somewhere!

The Colonel finally agrees and the operation is given a title - Stolen Hearts! The Colonel is sure, even if his daughter does not fall in love with her kidnapper, she will atleast be kept away from her crazy fiancé’s spell which messes up her thinking.

So Aryan, who is the Colonel's Godson is contacted. Aryan works for the Colonel in his company called the TraWell group (life is a journey, travel well!). He is a boot camp Instructor and is trained in disciplining wayward youngsters. Once he is explained everything he too agrees to ‘fake’ kidnap Sonia as he is indebted to Colonel and will do anything for him. Also, Sonia and Aryan are childhood friends so she may not be as scared of him because she knew him well once. After all, it is a fake kidnapping, how bad can get!

But as Aryan is carrying out this fake kidnapping someone witnesses it and mistakes it for real. Soon cops arrive at the shocked Colonel’s place and set up their tracking equipment to wait for the kidnapper’s call. The government goes a step head and announces a reward for the saviour of the kidnapped girl and all hell breaks loose as a countrywide manhunt begins. The goons of the city also jump in wanting to re-kidnap the girl and get her ransom for themselves.

Meanwhile Aryan and the kidnapped Sonia make their way to the beautiful hills in the Himalayas little knowing that the world knows about the kidnapping. As hordes of saviours, cops and goons hunt the couple, the fake kidnapper Aryan slowly starts to become Sonia’s protector and the couple start to fall in love.

Stolen hearts is a fun, romantic, chaotic, madcap story with tons of chaos, tons of characters and tons of confusion.
