Pranay Gupta absolutely had no business falling in love. He was simply at the right place at the right time. Context? His engineering had just gotten over. And as a responsible twenty-three-year-old graduate who had survived endless assignments, horrendous Vivas and brutal comments from professors, it was his moral obligation to go on a trip with his college friends before the actual corporate life began. After a thousand midnight chats, calls and chaos-Dibrugarh, Assam was finalised. Dibrugarh - a city nestled on the banks of River Brahmaputra, famous for its tea gardens and misty mornings. However, little did he know that this trip was going to introduce him to a young, jovial Assamese woman Mrinalini Baruah. It wasn't love at first sight as Bollywood movies romanticise. Neither was it a temporary attraction. With the way she laughed freely. With the stories she told about Assam. With the elegance of her traditional Bihu dance that left Pranay quietly mesmerized. What started as casual conversations slowly became shared cups of chai, sleepy sunrise walks, and endless baatein under open skies. Somewhere between tea gardens and stolen glances, friendship turned into something far more dangerous. And before Pranay could stop his racing heart, he had fallen deep into the pit named love.

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance

💍 She was the pawn. He was the king. But pawns can burn the board. 🖤 An unwanted girl. A cold heir. A marriage born of power, not love. 🔥 He ruled with dominance. She lived in shadows. But when their worlds collided, nothing would remain the same. 🌹 She feared him. He controlled her. But between fear and fire... love had no rule

🎄 This is the early draft of A Wish with a Bow. The published edition is now available in ebook & paperback on Amazon and other retailers. Callie Ericsson isn't asking for much this Christmas-just a little peace, a drama-free family dinner, and maybe a date who won't vanish before New Year's. Instead, she finds herself juggling her sister's sharp remarks, rejection letters from colleges, and a string of anonymous notes determined to ruin her holiday spirit. The only thing keeping her (mostly) sane? Wrapping gifts at the mall. It's repetitive, sure, but Callie secretly loves knowing she's adding a little extra joy to someone else's Christmas morning. That, and the fact that Brett-the mall's maddeningly charming maintenance guy-keeps showing up at her counter. He's infuriating, unexpectedly sweet, and far too handsome to be interested in someone like her... right? But the holidays have a way of exposing secrets right along with feelings. And when it comes to matters of the heart, Callie might just discover that the best gifts can't be tied up with ribbon.
