When 22-year-old engineering graduate Meera Nair agrees to a fake marriage with Mohan Nambiar-a 32-year-old tech mogul-she expects a temporary escape from her abusive, superstitious family. Not destiny. Not love. But Mohan is no stranger. A thousand years ago, he was Shyama, the loyal bodyguard sworn to protect the last Chola princess, Rani Devashree-Meera's past-life self-during the Pandya invasion. Now reborn in a world of glass towers and coded algorithms, an undeniable pull draws them together. Memories surface. Dreams bleed into reality. And ancient magic stirs. As the past collides with the present, a vengeful force awakens-one determined to destroy them once more. Bound by a curse older than time, Meera and Mohan must confront a terrifying truth: Some souls are not reunited by fate... They are trapped by it. Is their love a second chance-or a death sentence?

Love is hard. It is hard to love someone who hurts you, and it can be harder still to walk away from them. Naina knows that pain all too well. She agreed to an arranged marriage with Zayne to keep her from running back to Advik, her abusive ex-fiancé, but the guilt of not being able to return Zayne's love is just another weight on her mind. Now, she's the one hurting Zayne, if only emotionally instead of physically. His love is real, though, and he's determined to keep loving her, to stay with her no matter what happens. He's the rock she can rely on when traumatic memories taint every part of her life. But he's only human. How patient can he be? How much more can he take before it's too much? Is there hope and healing just over the horizon, or was this marriage doomed before it began? ____________________________________________ "You broke us, Naina... you broke me..."

**Winner 2024 Amby Awards** Fiza has everything planned-medical school, a respectable future, and an engagement she never wanted. Determined to escape a loveless match, she creates a checklist to find the perfect husband her father will approve of. Alan fails every requirement. A notorious heartthrob. Completely wrong for her. But when they're paired as duet partners in their college music group, an unexpected friendship sparks-one filled with laughter, late nights, sharing their darkest secrets, and a dangerous attraction neither can ignore. Fiza is saving herself for marriage. Alan flirts freely and lives for one-night stands, with no interest in commitment. Yet with her, he's gentle. Devoted. Different. Caught between faith, family, and a love she never planned for, Fiza must decide-will she protect her heart, or risk everything for the one person she was never meant to love?

"You can't hold me like that and not kiss me." Vinaya Nambiar is a twenty-two-year-old medical student from India with a rebellious streak she keeps well hidden from her strict parents. When she's accepted into a prestigious two-month clinical rotation in New York City, it feels like her first taste of freedom. That freedom comes with a complication. She'll be staying with her brother's best friend. Nithin Balachandran is twenty-eight, successful, and completely off-limits. As the COO of an engineering startup, he's used to control-over his, his life, and his emotions. Vinaya was never meant to be part of that equation. But proximity breeds temptation. As late-night conversations turn into stolen glances and unspoken promises, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore. Yet every step closer risks everything-his friendship with her brother, his family's expectations, and the unyielding boundaries of caste and tradition. Some love stories are forbidden for a reason. Will Vinaya and Nithin defy society and choose each other, or will the cost of their love be too high to pay?

Asfia's gaze lingered on her husband, a man who possessed all the qualities she'd ever dreamt of: tall, handsome, and unfailingly kind-a true gentleman. Yet, beneath his perfect exterior, she sensed a profound sadness, his eyes devoid of light. This was an arranged marriage, she reminded herself, and love couldn't be rushed. He provided for her, granting her every wish, yet an unspoken question lingered-was material comfort enough? Faisal, in his own silent contemplation, had accepted the marriage to Asfia, a recent graduate from a dental college. It had been his parents' wish, and he had gone along with it, almost apathetic to the outcome. His heart, once given entirely to Fiza, had been broken, leaving him emotionally empty. Love had become synonymous with pain, and he harbored no desire to endure such hurt again. "Look at me," Asfia thought, "I'm right here." ***************************************************** Can a hopeless romantic and a skeptic find love? *****************************************************
