Vihanaa, a spirited young woman, and Ayaan, a diligent professional, found their worlds colliding when Vihanaa accidentally spilled her coffee, transforming Ayaan's diligently organized files into a chaotic mess. Fury flashed in Ayaan's eyes as he surveyed the damage, his anger evident even before Vihanaa could utter an apology. Unbeknownst to him, Vihanaa, wide-eyed and apologetic, hesitatedout an apology, but her words seemed to bounce off the wall of his frustration.

Cupid never had a chance in their messy, parental-restricted love story Karishma Jha, a twenty-one-year-old recent graduate with the world at her feet if only she chose to face it. Plagued with the worries of the future and yet healing from the scars of her past, she was yet to pay any heed to the present. She was the queen of the world of What-ifs What if I never get a job? What if I never do anything worthwhile? What if I am not here tomorrow? What if someone new moves next door? Still struggling to live one day at a time, she is hit with yet another surprise: a new neighbor, Rishabh Mehta. His arrival gives her the opportunity to take a step out of her cocooned world, to do something daring for once in her sheltered life. What if a girl with perpetually cold feet chooses to befriend a boy who lives like there is no tomorrow? When Rishabh Mehta moved to his aunt's place in Bangalore, the last thing he expected was to deal with the girl next door. Shrew, grump, ornery, he knew the many nicknames of her, except her real name. She proved true to her description when, one night, she cuts off the wire of his music system in the middle of a raging party. That was his first impression of hers. He also never expected her unrelenting efforts to befriend him. When he finally gives in, the possibility of tomorrow increases with every shared laughter and stolen glance. Will their love survive self-imposed obstacles, helicopter parents, and the two-foot gap between their balconies? Or, will it remain a fond memory to smile upon when a day gets a bit more difficult than the rest? TRIGGER WARNING: Though this story could be considered a feel-good rom-com from its cover and description, it does address certain heavy topics like illness, suicide attempts, and domestic violence.

\ əˈprɪs.ə.ti \ warmth of the sun breaking through in winter. "Marry?" asked Ranveer. "Last I remember, you refused me to marry me when asked!" Ranveer's search for hints of remorse in her eyes proved futile. "I'm sorry about that and about your fiancee eloping." A wry chuckle escaped Ranveer's lips. "Please, Suhani. I know you meant what you had said. And I know you aren't interested in marrying me, so why the meet and the proposition?" Suhani drew a sharp breath and a stern smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Well, we can offer each other something that the other wants. Marrying me will help you and your family save face." "What does the proposition offer that you want?" he asked with his eyes narrowed. "A chance at motherhood."

Book #1 of the Stars Series. ~She taught him to speak out loud He taught her to hear the silence~ ✨ "Do you remember, What the hell did you do Miss Ananya Rajput?" He said and ran his fingers through his hair. "Way to ruin his styled hair" the devil side inside me spoke. "He did that in frustration" the angel side argued. "Whatever the reason was, what he did was very hot" the perverted side of me was all ready to swoon. I shook my head and these three sides with their respective thoughts vanished. "What did I do now? "I asked cluelessly and he narrowed his eyes. "Because of what you did yesterday, my parents believe that you are my secret girlfriend "What nonsense!" Those are his favourite words. " Those are my favourite words! " I thought and he spoke at the same time. " But what did I do yesterday? " * Ananya Rajput, a carefree soul who likes to live her life the way she wants to. She might act too happy, she might be too crazy for this world, but at the end she was also deeply wounded by people she called her family, throughout her life. ❝We are on the earth to spread some love...and some cookies?❞ Sahil Khurana, a boy who cares about every small thing, and makes it right. Perfectionist is what they call him, but at the end he is tired of trying. A break up from his ex girlfriend of over 4 years was adding pain to his wounds. But acting like we are happy, is what we do in life. ❝When life doesn't make any sense, you're going right❞ And when this carefree Ananya meets the overthinker Sahil, The consequences leads them to date, Oops, fake date! But in this process, their broken part heals, Sparks flies, And Their Stars Align. The book can start off with some badly written grammar but I promise it gets better as you go on, if not the best. It's a silly little book with a simple plot and crack head characters. <3 Started : 15/04/2023 Status : 25/03/2024

❝Mummy, meri shaadi karvado.❞ Aditya Shrivastava had lived half of his life third-wheeling his friends and their partners. While they went on dates, he was debugging a hundred lines of code. While they got married, he was breaking sweat for an early promotion. Now they're all happy and settled, and he can't help but envy them. Getting a girl on his own was an impossible feat to achieve for Aditya. He couldn't even keep a stable eye contact with people of the opposite gender. Hence, he heavily relied on his mother to get him hitched. He was desperate for a life like his settled friends, unaware there's more to a relationship than book-y romance and cuddle nights. And when he crosses paths with Priya Mathur, the elder sister of the first potential bride he wishes to meet, his life goes spiralling in a whirlwind of sweet and sour love he hadn't expected himself to fall for.
