******* Tara has sworn off dating apps. After one too many ghostings, bad first dates, and profiles that never match reality, she's ready to delete love from her phone altogether. Until one last swipe changes everything. Raghav wasn't even supposed to be on the app. Between building his business and dodging his friends' matchmaking schemes, romance is the last thing on his to-do list. But when a sarcastic, sharp-witted stranger lights up his inbox, he finds himself hooked. What starts as late-night banter and flirty texts quickly turns into something deeper-something neither of them expected. But when fantasy collides with reality, and doubts threaten to ruin their chance, Raghav and Tara must decide: is this just another digital fling, or could it be the real thing? A witty, heartfelt story about modern love, second chances, and the risks worth taking, Love at First Swipe proves that sometimes the right match isn't just in your pocket-it's written in your heart. ********

Dark silk sheets tangled with morning light. The metallic glint of cufflinks against tanned skin. A slow smirk that feels like a dare. Champagne fizzing in crystal glasses while the city glows beneath the skyline. Her perfume on his suit. His cologne on her skin. Hands that command. Eyes that claim. Words that burn. Power isn't just in the boardroom here-it's in every glance, every touch, every dangerously close breath. This is a world where passion is weaponized, where desire feels like sin, and where the line between control and surrender blurs until you can't tell if you're falling in love or falling into the flames.

Some souls don't meet for the first time-they remember. Bound by lifetimes, separated by time, Kanha and Achyut find each other again-drawn by rain, dreams, and the quiet ache of something unfinished. Every glance feels remembered. Every silence feels sacred. Every touch carries echoes of lives they once lived, and lives they are yet to live. In a world that keeps changing, their love doesn't. Across centuries and countless reincarnations, fate conspires to bring them together, even when the universe conspires against them. From the bustling streets of modern cities to the quiet lanes of distant pasts, from whispered secrets under moonlight to storms that shake the soul, they chase each other through memories and time, never quite free from the gravity of what binds them. They are the spark in the rain, the calm in the chaos, the unfinished story that refuses to end. Lovers torn apart by circumstance, reunited by destiny-every heartbreak only strengthens the thread that ties them. And even when the world forgets, their souls remember. Because some stories aren't written once-they're lived again and again. From the first breath to the last... From beginning to beyond... From Adi to Anant. Tropes & Themes: Reincarnation / Past Lives Soulmates / Eternal Love Fate and Destiny Unfinished Business / Memories Across Time Slow Burn / Enemies-to-Lovers Love Against All Odds / Timeless Connection

#Book1 of "The Heart Series" ──── ୨୧ ──── Four years ago, Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain-Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── Starting Date: 13/03/2025. Ending Date: [NOTE: This story is purely my imagination. Please don't copy or repost.
