Lakshay doesn't want to be in love. He really doesn't. But he is. Desperately. Irrevocably. There is only one thing he can do. Get his girl. ──────── © starlane 2026

Book 1 ~ BLUSHED & BRUISED ~AARNA KAUL~ Aarna Kaul knows how to survive a crowd-by slipping straight through it. Quiet, razor-sharp, and impossible to read, she isn't the girl people notice... until they remember she has a twin. Where Anvika shines brilliantly, Aarna chooses shadows-preferring silence over small talk, distance over drama, and a heart guarded tighter than a diary with a broken lock. She isn't invisible because she's timid. She's invisible because she learned to be. But the one thing she never prepared for? Someone noticing anyway. ~RIHAN MEHRA ~ Perfect grades. Perfect charm. Perfect smile. Rihan Mehra is the boy everyone looks at first-and the boy no one expects to look back at the quiet girl in the corner. But he does. He sees the way Aarna stiffens when someone gets too close. He sees her disappear into walls when the world gets loud. He sees the fire she tries so hard to hide. And he's patient. Very patient. Because love doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes it waits... watching, learning, choosing the right moment to step into the light- and pull her out of the shadows. And Aarna Kaul has no idea she's about to become someone's entire world. ~🤍🤍~ A story about hidden pain, unnoticed glances, and how love sometimes begins before a single word is spoken. How he becomes her healer A slow-burn university romance about finding light in unexpected places-and being seen for who you truly are, not who you're expected to be.
