Book 1 of Her Series Book 1 of Royal Family ↪ Indian Desi Romance ----------------*******************-------------- He was a man who never needed any girl, any life partner. She was a girl who had buried every dream of marriage and companionship-because she was mute. He had once failed in love... She had never even dared to fall. He knew how to love, but not whom to love. She knew whom to love, but not how to love. She endured everything in silence, never raising her voice- Until he taught her to fight, to stand tall, to reclaim her strength. He made her stronger than she had ever known herself to be. And now, when it comes to him, She awakens as a fierce divine energy- A dark, feminine force who would destroy anything that dares harm him. When she was weak, he became both her protector and her destroyer. He was her Shiv, and she... his Parvati. -----------------******************--------------- What will happen when both of them collide?? What will happen when a broken soul meets unbroken soul? Are they really made for each other? STAY CONNECTED TO KNOW MORE!!!!! All rights are reserved by Katha

AAYAT KHAN "I write the kind of love I pray for - slow like dawn, deep like dua, and never needing to be chased." MOHAMMED AYAAN MALIK "I hated how much I wanted her, I hated that she wasn't smart enough to walk away from me when she still had a chance. Then let's be honest, it was already too late, she is mine, she just doesn't know yet." He doesn't believe in distractions. She wasn't looking for love. But fate doesn't ask for permission- it collides. In a world full of expectations, power, and silent battles, Can two broken souls find healing in each other? Or will the walls they've built be the very things that keep them apart? A slow-burn romance filled with soft tension, emotional vulnerability, family expectations, and the kind of love that doesn't just touch the heart-it transforms it. This is not just a Love story. This is Ayaan and Aayat's Love story.

Two Hearts Protected. Two Love Stories Intertwined. One Dangerous Game. "When protection crosses the line, what remains-duty or desire?" When Ahaana Mehta's father hires a bodyguard, she expects a silent shadow-not the brooding, irresistibly handsome Reyansh Oberoi. His presence should feel like safety, but one look into his blue eyes and Ahaana knows she's in trouble. What begins as protection soon spirals into a forbidden passion neither can resist. But love never comes without secrets-and Reyansh has more than his share. Secrets that could destroy them both. Meanwhile, Ahaana's best friend, Ishaani, isn't immune to the allure of danger. When she crosses paths with Ruhaan Singhania-a man as charming as he is powerful-their whirlwind romance feels like a dream. Until Ruhaan's sister, Shanaya, steps into the picture with an obsession that threatens to shatter everything. As desire ignites and jealousy festers, loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and one question lingers in the shadows: Will love conquer betrayal... or will the whispers of sin consume them all? A dark, intoxicating romance where passion and deceit collide.

"Love wasn't supposed to be my downfall. But she was never just love-she was an addiction." The room reeked of whiskey and regret. Riyaan Singh Malhotra leaned against the windowpane, the city lights reflecting in his cold grey eyes. His grip on the crystal glass tightened as he watched the rain lash against the glass. She was gone. Again. Rivian Rajvansh wasn't supposed to mean anything. She was a foolish girl with stars in her eyes and a laugh that could make the world stop. Soft, delicate-completely unfit for the world he ruled. And yet, she had walked into his life like a sunrise breaking through an endless night. She had touched him, not just with her hands, but with her heart-something no one had dared to do before. He had warned her. Told her a hundred times that love had no place in his world. That he was a monster, a man drenched in blood and sins she could never imagine. But she stayed. Until she didn't. Now, he was chasing shadows, haunted by the ghost of her laughter and the taste of her lips-both his salvation and his destruction. She was the only addiction he could never quit. The only weakness he had. And Riyaan Singh Malhotra didn't do weaknesses. --- Tropes Included: ✔ Forced Marriage - A contract binds them, but emotions complicate everything. ✔ MML Obsessed with FML - She is his addiction, his weakness, his everything. ✔ Sunshine × Grumpy - She is the light; he is the storm. ✔ Age Gap - He is older, ruthless, and dominant; she is young, fiery, and innocent. ✔ Dark Romance - Possession, control, and an all-consuming love that blurs the line between obsession and devotion. Their love is toxic, dangerous, and inescapable-and neither of them would have it any other way.
