🌸 Introduction 1981. A time when a woman's silence was mistaken for obedience. And marriage was not always love but duty. Saanchi was married into a house where expectations spoke louder than affection. She was soft-spoken, gentle... and trying to survive in a world that had already decided who she should be. But Ravindra - her quiet, stoic husband - was nothing like the man she feared he'd be. He didn't speak much. But when he did... his words shattered walls. This is not a fairytale. This is a story of slow-burning trust, stolen glances, and a man who chose to stand with his wife, not above her. In an era where women were expected to adjust - he chose to understand. And that made all the difference.

❝ They married as strangers. Shared a room. And slowly... they became each other's home. ❞ Anaya wears sarees and bakes the kind of cakes that taste like memories. Vihaan codes in sweatpants and hoodies, loves silence, and blushes when she flirts. They didn't choose love. They chose marriage - quiet, arranged, and unfamiliar. But between shared blankets, lingering touches, chai in the morning, and midnight whispers... something soft begins to bloom. This is not a love story that starts with sparks. It starts with burnt toast, shy glances, and a hoodie left on her side of the bed.

Arjun, a successful 30-year-old businessman, and Meera, his 27-year-old wife, have built a life together over five years, raising their lively three-year-old son. Yet beneath the surface of their carefully balanced routine, something unspoken lingers-an invisible thread waiting to be discovered. Their marriage feels more like a duty than a dream, with warmth replaced by distance and passion by polite silence. But life has a way of stirring even the quietest hearts. As Arjun and Meera navigate the complexities of love, family, and unspoken truths, they're about to find that sometimes, the strongest bonds grow from the smallest, unexpected sparks.

In a world bound by expectations, Sanyukta, a strong-willed single mother, faces mounting pressure from her family and society to remarry. Her reluctant choice? Ranvijay, a man who couldn't be more different from the life she's used to. A famous criminal lawyer, Ranvijay is known for his sharp intellect, fiery temper, and his refusal to follow society's rules. Their marriage, forged under the weight of external pressure rather than love, promises anything but peace. As their lives intertwine, the spark of tension between them grows, hinting at a turbulent journey ahead-one that neither of them saw coming.

BOOK 1 OF BRIDE SERIES #1 in Top Ten in India #1 in Reluctant _____________________________________________ Aina Deshmukh's name meant "mirror," yet her life reflected nothing but pain and turmoil.
