𝓐𝓷 𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓻𝔂 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦 "He didn't touch me on our wedding night-not even a glance that felt like a beginning. I told myself I wouldn't fall. That I wouldn't love a man who kept the door to his heart bolted shut. But I did. In the way he said my name when he was tired. In the way he protected me without admitting it. I fell for a man who didn't want a wife. And every day, I wondered if being his wasn't enough to be his." ~ "I married her, not for love-but for peace. I told myself she was just a name on paper, not someone who'd turn my world upside down. I was cold, distant. Maybe even cruel. But she stayed. She smiled when I didn't deserve it. She made a stranger's house feel like something I wanted to come home to. And without warning-I fell. Now I can't look at her without wondering how I ever thought I could live untouched by her love."

In 1800s Awadh, marriages were for honor - not love. Avantika became the wife of Virendra Thakur, a powerful zamindar, widower, and father of two, knowing her place was bound by duty. On their wedding night, he told her she would have the respect of his household... but nothing of his heart. Yet respect cannot quiet longing. In the candlelit halls of the haveli, every stolen glance, every brush of his hand, and every night spent under the same roof only deepened the ache between them. And in the stillness of those nights, where power and pride ruled the day, they fought a private war - of desire, restraint, and unspoken truths. **** Will Avantika melt the walls around his heart... or will she be consumed by her own yearning? When respect, pride, and forbidden passion collide - what will win? Most important... will she survive being The Thakurain?

Set against the backdrop of the 1990s, this story unfolds a unique and unconventional tale. "I see her every day in school, and now I don't look at her the way a teacher should look at his student. The young woman who sits on the fourth bench of the second row is going to be my wife soon. I know she must be thinking that I rejected her, but it's not my place to tell." Anav, a higher secondary school teacher, finds himself bound in matrimony with Dharini, a student he never particularly favored. This is not a story of enemies to lovers or a romantic journey to marriage. Instead, it's an arranged marriage, where their parents chose them for each other. Despite the traditional setting, Avan and his parents possess a progressive mindset. This narrative delves into various social issues such as dowry, racism, body shaming, and women's education. It also addresses taboo topics like periods and sex education, providing a thought-provoking exploration of these critical themes.

Previously titled "The Kadhal Kadhai Publications" He was the forgotten son. She was the least-loved daughter. Together, they might just rewrite fate. Karthik Hariharan was never meant to inherit anything, not his so called father's empire, nor the weight of a name he never asked to bear. While his brother lived beneath the spotlight, Karthik chose silence, distance, and peace. All he ever wanted was something of his own, a publishing house built from quiet persistence and heart. So when his grandmother unexpectedly offers him his late mother's property, it feels like fate finally nodding his way. But there's one condition, he must marry. Karthik hates the idea. Marriage means noise, expectations, compromise, all the things he's spent years escaping. Until Krithika Ganeshan enters his life. His sister-in-law's sister. Confident, unafraid, and far too stubborn for her own good. Her proposal is simple, a contract marriage. Her freedom, his chance. What begins as an agreement soon unravels into something neither can define. And as Karthik finds himself drawn toward her warmth, he also feels the quiet life he built beginning to tremble. Because when the past he's buried resurfaces, Karthik must decide. Will he protect the calm he's fought to build, or the woman who makes him want to break every wall he's ever built?
