Nisha Mehta & Aarav Sethi were never meant to be a story. Not really. Just two people who found each other in a sleepy hill town-between tattered book spines and late-night conversations that neither of them would admit meant something. But life has a cruel way of making people disappear. And sometimes, if you're lucky-or maybe just cursed-it brings them back again. Years later, in a city far away from the one they called home, Nisha hears his name again. And the past, the one she thought she had packed away in boxes of old letters and forgotten mixtapes, will come rushing back like a song she never quite learned how to stop humming. Because some people never really leave. They just become a yesterday you keep returning to. Will the words they left unsaid finally find their way home, or is this just another yesterday waiting to slip away?

Two Rivals. One Serial killer. Zero patience. Dr. Meher Bansal didn't sign up for this. All she wanted was to help her patients, not end up in the middle of a murder investigation. But when her patient's death puts her on a collision course with ACP Aryan Mathur-her childhood rival and a certified pain in the neck-things get messy. He's stubborn, she's sarcastic, and they both think they're the smartest person in the room. Unfortunately, there's a killer out there who's actually smarter. As bodies pile up and the case grows darker, Meher and Aryan must team up to untangle a chilling pattern- resisting the urge to throttle each other. Throw in a six-year-old determined to play cupid, a clumsy intern, a best friend who is always hungry and a killer who is one step ahead. You've got the perfect recipe for disaster. With every clue bringing them closer to the killer-and to death, will they outsmart a monster who's been perfecting his craft for years? Or will they end up as the next pieces in his deadly game? Murder. Mayhem. Matchmaking- What could possibly go wrong?

After an unexpected tragedy shatters their world, Veer is forced to confront the pain of loss and the weight of promises left behind. As his carefully curated world collides with his wife, a firebrand with a soul too big for her own good, everything changes.

| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book One of The 'Secrets Duology' | *** The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma. That's what Hinduja Rao always thought. But, quite similar to her thoughts about her own self, was someone else around her. Her newly wedded husband, the sovereign of the Dogra Empire, Mahadevan Dogra. A man who possessed the might to guard even shadows. To the people who knew, theirs was a simple marriage. But was it really? Together, they stand in the murky twilight, enshrouded by a dense layer of fog, with their toddler securely tucked within their protective hold. But, once the fog sheds, they must hunt for a coin, a coin of two sides, embossing realities that are enough to destroy everything they have steadily built around themselves. The twist? Mahadevan knows what his side of the coin has to say, Hinduja doesn't. Moreover, is everything exactly as it appears to be? Or, all along, what awaits at the end is, in fact, an illusion indeed. *** Note - With all intents and purposes, Secrets Hidden In Time is a slow-burn e-novel in terms of romance, mystery, and the psychological thriller quotient of it. Kindly be patient.
