#1 in kashmir on 3/4/25 She was never meant to enter his world. He was never meant to need her. In a land where power is a battlefield and silence holds the deadliest secrets, Raunaksh Rajwar is a man carved from war and betrayal. Cold, ruthless, untouchable. But when she steps into his path-with fire in her eyes and a quiet defiance that unsettles him-something shifts. Meher Bhat was meant to walk away. She should have. But fate is cruel, and now she stands at the edge of a storm she cannot escape. A storm that has a name, a piercing gaze, and hands stained with both duty and desire. Between them stands a child-innocent, fragile, and unwanted by the world. A child who binds them in ways neither of them are ready to face. She is the one thing he should resist. He is the one man she should fear. Yet, the pull between them is undeniable-slow, intoxicating, and dangerous. And in a valley where shadows whisper and enemies lurk, the real question is: Who will survive the fire when the Chinars burn? "Between duty and desire, beneath burning Chinars, A soldier stands guard, his heart untouched, unclaimed. But in her eyes, in the silence of falling leaves, Lies the love he never knew he needed- And the home he never thought he'd find."

❝𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒕, 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚?❞ _____________________________ Sidharth never wanted this marriage. Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife. He became the very husband he had despised. He started to crave more, an insatiable desire that gnawed at his soul for her. And then nothing seems to satisfy his aching soul other than his arranged wife's one smile. ●An Indian arranged marriage romance. #Book-1 in #His bride series.
