(On hold) Book 1 of Hearts Series Sanvika x Ishaan Love was the only thing she had ever believed in-until the day her ex-boyfriend shattered her trust. His betrayal left her broken, forcing her to bury her dreams of romance in the pages of her stories. She no longer believed in love; she only wrote about it. He, on the other hand, had never believed in love at all. Cold, distant, and consumed by his ambitions, he saw love as nothing more than a distraction-a weakness that led people astray. It was better to be alone than to waste time on something as fleeting as emotions. But everything changed the moment they met. For the first time in his life, he felt something he couldn't explain. And when he learned that they were to be married, an unfamiliar feeling stirred within him-happiness. He considered himself the luckiest man alive. What he didn't know was that she had already locked her heart away. Would she agree to this marriage? Would she ever believe in love again? Or was he destined to love someone who refused to love him back?

He loved one woman enough to defy his world. He married another to survive it. Alex Davenport was born into legacy and old money. But none of that mattered when he met Emily, the girl from the wrong side of town. Against his family's disapproval, Alex married her the day they turned nineteen. For years, they built a life of their own until tragedy struck and she died in a car accident. Two years later, broken and unreachable, Alex agrees to a marriage he doesn't want. Isabelle is elegance, control, everything Emily wasn't. She's also not afraid of the wreckage he's become. He believes she's a spoiled model and socialite but is there more under those designer dresses? She didn't choose him either... but she's not leaving. But ghosts don't stay buried. And the deeper Alex falls, the louder Emily's memory whispers. What happens when your heart is still tethered to the past... but starts beating for someone new?
