( 💌 ) ˊ˗ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 danni rivera and alex thomas don't know each other's names. not really. what they do know are the pieces they leave behind in a battered pink notebook. confessions, jokes, memories too heavy to say out loud. that's their thing. notes tucked into bookstores, ice cream shops, bleachers, and christmas aisles. a map of two strangers learning each other without ever meaning to. danni thinks he's probably sarcastic, too honest, and annoyingly good at understanding her. alex thinks she's brighter than she realizes, funnier than she tries to be, and exactly the kind of person he should avoid caring about. but pages have a way of pulling people closer. secrets have a way of slipping out. and somewhere between the first entry and the last, two kids who never should've crossed paths end up finding the one person who feels like home. because fate is messy. timing is worse. but falling for someone you've never actually met? meet alex and danni.

If you worship your sanity whatsoever, I beg for you to put this book down.

# BOOK 1 of the series - KALANK CHRONICLES ABHIMAAN SINGH RATHORE Abhimaan stood on the balcony, the city lights reflecting off his crisp, dark blazer. His hands were tucked into his pockets, jaw tight, eyes scanning the chaos below. For him, love had always been a trap, something that made him weak, dependent, and vulnerable. He wasn't about to fall into it again. Not now. Not ever. MISHIKA MARWAH Meanwhile, inside the house, Mishika hummed softly, her bright scarf loosely draped over her shoulders as she stirred a cup of cocoa for her little niece. She believed in love, not in grand gestures or fairy-tale endings, but in quiet, heartfelt moments like this. Family first. Always. Their worlds are different, and yet, neither knew how close fate was about to bring them.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐭, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥." ──────────────────── He had lived a life of privilege, insulated from the struggles of the world-until one night at the Palace Bar turned his carefully ordered life upside down. She was unlike anyone he had ever met: a captivating working-class woman of Spanish descent, whose every glance and smile seemed to pull him deeper into her orbit. Her presence was intoxicating, her charm impossible to resist, and he found himself helplessly drawn to her in ways he never imagined. As desire ignites between them, he realizes that what he feels for her could shatter the life-and the arranged marriage-he was born into. A story of forbidden passion, irresistible temptation, and defying expectations, this is a whirlwind of seduction, tension, and love that refuses to be contained.
