"King Atharva.... I wish I never loved you.... and if I get another chance at life, I wish to never cross paths with you...." said the dying prince as he pushed the dagger deeper in his chest. Little did he know that someone would give him another chance at life. Someone who pitied the couple, driven apart by misunderstandings. But will this couple be able to use this given chance wisely?

"I hate you," he said...his voice trembling with fury. "I hate your voice. I hate the very sound of your breathing." Before he could walk away, fingers curled around his collar, slamming him against the wall. A whisper followed...low, dangerous, and sealed like a dark promise. "It isn't hatred," he murmured. "It's love. Whether you accept it or not." "Lies," came the broken reply. "Everything you've said is a lie." "Yes, I lied," he admitted calmly. "And I'll lie again if I have to. I'll do anything....but I will never let you walk away from me." The cold sting of a syringe pressed into his skin. ~~~~●●●●~~~~~●●●●~~~~~~~~●●●●~~~~~●●●~~ Agniv Mehra, a 24-year-old Indian student, arrives in New York carrying ambition, rebellion, and a past he refuses to speak about.

Rava Weston is the definition of the ideal son. He follows the rules, smiles when he should, and never causes trouble. His future is laid out-while he has just enough space to secretly chase his own quiet dreams of becoming a teacher, so long as he plays the role his parents expect. But when he's forced to attend a family summit back in Italy, everything starts to unravel. Because Gio Fontana will be there. Gio is reckless, magnetic, too rich for his own good. He's got cops who know him by name, and NOT because they're friends. His motorcycle is his greatest love, and rules don't seem to apply to him. He has a reputation that makes fathers lock their doors. Especially Rava's father. Rava and Gio, never got along. But this time, the tension feels like hunger more than hate. And as the days stretch on, Rava's perfectly safe world starts to slip through his fingers, because what's building between him and Gio is forbidden. Not just risky. And it might be the first real thing Rava's ever felt. 🥇 #1 - gay 🥇 #1 - rivals 🥇 #1 - enemiestolovers 🥇 #1 - forbiddenlove 🥇 #1 - lgbtfiction 🥇 #1 - bxb 🥇 #1 - bl 🥇 #1 - bxblove 🥇 #1 - boyxboy 🥇 #1 - biker 🥇 #1 - Italy 🥇 #1 - denial 🥇 #1 - angst 🥇 #1 - gaylove 🥇 #1 - gayfiction 🥇 #1 - fluffy 🥇 #1 - mxm 🥇 #1 - bisexual 🥇 #1 - gaycouple 🥇 #1 - love 🥇 #1 - mlm 🥇 #1 - funny 🥇 #1 - obsession 🥇 #1 - lgbtromance 🥇 #1 - traveling 🥇 #1 - fatalattraction 🥇 #1 - grumpyxsunshine 🥇 #1 - slowburn 🥇 #1 - queer Also available on Amazon, physical and Kindle ebook version ✅ (with some bonus spicy chapters)

Title: The Empress Is Busy Eating, Your Majesty Xiao Ting died gloriously in the apocalypse-surrounded by zombies, explosions, and exactly zero regrets-only to wake up in a soft bed, buried under silk curtains, wearing twelve layers of makeup and... married to an emperor. Bad news: He transmigrated into the body of Empress Xiao Ting, a famous ger (a male who can bear children), known across the palace for crying delicately, speaking softly, and treating cosmetic powder like a battlefield necessity. Worse news: The emperor hates him. The marriage was purely political-Empress Xiao Ting is the son of the Prime Minister, a terrifying old fox with enough power to shake the court. The emperor married the empress for survival, not love, and has spent the entire marriage cold, distant, and irritated by the original Xiao Ting's exaggerated femininity and endless schemes. Unfortunately for everyone- This Xiao Ting is not that Xiao Ting. The moment he wakes up, he wipes off the makeup, throws the jade hairpins aside, puts on men's robes, and asks the servants one extremely important question: "What do you mean there's no meat?" Having survived the apocalypse, Xiao Ting's priorities are simple: 1. Food 2. More food 3. Staying alive 4. Everything else can wait He doesn't cry, doesn't cling, doesn't plot for favor. Instead, he raids the imperial kitchen, eats like a starving wolf, argues with eunuchs, naps in the sunlight, and treats palace intrigue like background noise. The emperor is... deeply unsettled. Why is his empress suddenly: Dressed like a handsome nobleman? Bare-faced but somehow more beautiful? Completely uninterested in favor, jealousy, or palace power struggles? More emotionally invested in steamed buns than imperial authority? And most terrifying of all- Why does the emperor keep looking? Meanwhile, Xiao Ting just wants three meals a day, a peaceful life, and for the emperor to stop staring at him while he eats.

Read the prologue. Hehe.

In a traditional Indian household, Yohan Bedi has always been the golden boy-youngest child, overprotected, and smothered with expectations. So when his family arranges his marriage to a girl he barely knows, Yohan snaps. In a reckless midnight moment, he approaches Sarvansh Malhotra-an intimidating CEO with a mysterious aura-and proposes something wild: pretend to be my boyfriend, so my family will finally disown me. Except... they don't. Instead, his conservative family shocks him by accepting the relationship-gay and all.

Like most gay love stories in the country, Dhruv and Vidit's began online. But there were no dating apps involved, just an Instagram group chat for Taylor Swift fans. Dhruv wasn't looking for love, only a debate about Taylor's best bridge but fate had other plans. For years, their world existed within the confines of a screen. Messages sent at odd hours, voice calls stretching late into the night, confessions woven between casual conversations. They had been everything to each other, even if neither had dared to put a name to it. But now, standing face to face for the first time, everything felt different. Familiar yet electric. Vidit's voice carried weight in a way it never had through a speaker. His touch was brief, almost hesitant, setting off a chain reaction beneath Dhruv's skin. His eyes lingered just a second too long, searching for something, as if realizing that love through a screen had only been the beginning. Somewhere between ranking albums and decoding Easter eggs, Dhruv had accidentally found his person. This is the story of Dhruv and Vidit. A love that started in DMs, survived the distance, and became something neither of them saw coming.
