In the grand shadows of Khakwani Haveli, beauty blooms where love is forbidden. Born with a smile that could melt stone and a spirit too soft for the iron chains of tradition, Noorain Khakwani has always known her place - hidden beneath the weight of expectation, unseen in a world that only values power. But when whispers of an unseen savior begin to stir behind the carved walls of her ancestral haveli, her carefully drawn boundaries begin to blur. A daughter unloved. A brother adored. A secret that could unravel everything. Set against the haunting beauty of Bahawalpur's faded royalty, His Crimson Shadow is a tale of fragile hearts caught in the crossfire of power and silence. With slow-burn tension, searing emotions, and secrets buried in the dust of legacies, this is not just a love story - it's a story of awakening, defiance, and the battle between duty and desire. Sometimes, the most dangerous thing a girl can do... is dream.

Two star-crossed lovers and one ugly secret. The battle of wills, where one is hell-bent on letting go and another is determined to stick together in the face of adversities. A story of love, tears, and hope.

Affinity is the force that draws and binds two entities together-the power to attract and hold. Once united, they harmonize, balancing each other's souls. The concept of affinity is profoundly divine, manifesting in mirrored emotions, fate, and the simplest of gestures-like a warm embrace or intertwined hands. It cradles all relationships in this vast yet intimate world. It is the power to cherish, to forgive, to let go, and to hold on. Above all, it is the power to love. TROUPE: Enemy to lover

Izzah Masood, the rebellious daughter of powerful politician Kamran Masood, has only one goal in life: to become a successful heart surgeon. After her father refuses to send her abroad for her master's degree, Izzah devises a plan to escape Khiyamabad and pursue her dream in a different country. As part of her plan, she gets into a relationship with Hamzah Qazi, the son of her father's rival. Unexpectedly, Hamzah and Izzah turned out to have a lot more in common than expected. They also discovered that they both shared the same ambition in life, and that they both hated politics and wanted to escape their fathers' influence. Soon, Hamzah started meaning more to Izzah than just a plan. The more Izzah spends time with Hamzah getting to know him, the less she sees him as a pawn in her plan and more as a partner. Hamzah surprises her, changing his significance in her eyes. While her relationship with Hamzah continues to bloom under her father's nose, Aadi Masood-nephew of Kamran Masood and cousin of Izzah Masood-makes an appearance in her life, threatening to sabotage her plans. Moth To The Flame is a mystery/thriller with romance as subplot.

In the quiet recesses of the heart, there exists a mystery that has confounded men for centuries-a creation so delicate, yet so resilient, that even a mere glance, if harsh, can unravel her. She weeps not just with her eyes, but with her very soul, each tear a testament to the depth of her emotions, each sob a silent symphony of pain that echoes in the corridors of the heart. To the unknowing, it is baffling-how could a single tear, shed by someone barely known, hold the power to make the heart twitch with an unfamiliar ache? And yet, this fragile creation, with her trembling lips and quivering voice, has the power to melt the hardest of hearts. A single, tender kiss placed upon those trembling lips can drown an ocean of anguish, can soothe wounds that words could never reach. It is a paradox, this power she holds-a power unfaded by time, unchanged by the passing of centuries. It is the same today as it was in days long past, a timeless dance of vulnerability and strength, of love and longing. And it is in this dance that the heart finds its truest rhythm, beating in time with the mystery of a woman. ~~~ Delve into a world where tradition and love intertwine, where the echoes of a prestigious legacy reverberate through the corridors of a grand Jaamidar estate.

This book is a spin-off of my first book, *Damsel in Distress*. If you are a DID reader, welcome back! If you are new here, check out my first book (you will love it) before reading this.

Zeeshan Obeid Othman is your typical workaholic businessman who doesn't have a life outside of work. Don't worry, he isn't grumpy and actually has a fun side that only comes out when he is with his cousins (he doesn't have many friends). Zeeshan is afraid of his father, who is all about parampara, pratishtha, and anushasan (tradition, prestige, and discipline). He is known for being his father's disciplined, well-mannered, and hardworking son. His only ambition in life is to be more successful than he was yesterday. Sarah Ahmed is the only daughter of her millionaire father, Haider Ahmed. She owns a boutique where she sells modest but fashionable clothes. She's everything Zeeshan is not: lively, bold, outspoken, and friendly. Her father wants her to get married, but she has been rejecting proposals left and right. Apparently, Sarah's standards are too high, or perhaps getting married is not her priority at all. The Ahmeds and the Othmans are good family friends and business partners. Now they want to take their friendship and partnership one step further by getting Zeeshan Obeid Othman married to Sarah Ahmed. On the surface, they seem like a perfect match, but Ms. Ribbons (Sarah Ahmed) has a grudge against Mr. Suit and tie(Zeeshan). She dislikes him and never misses a chance to criticize him, and Zeeshan is irked by her judgments and doesn't want anything to do with her. So, let's see how Ms. Ribbons versus Mr. Suit and tie turns into Ms. Ribbons weds Mr. Suit and tie. ______________ This is a rom-com. A simple light hearted read. I hope you enjoy it 😊
