"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

🎄 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.

🌊 This is the early draft version of Sea Glass Tides. Now available as book + ebook on Amazon. In Sea Glass Beach, the Kalani siblings-Luna, a board shaper and shop owner with a knack for turning saltwater dreams into art; Skye, a fearless surfing instructor whose charm hides the weight of past regrets; and Dax, a devoted father and sharp-witted lawyer fighting to balance duty with desire-are riding the biggest wave of their lives. The upcoming festival promises glory, but it also stirs old rivalries, buried secrets, and sparks of romance they never saw coming. Newcomer Dylan arrives chasing a fresh start, only to be pulled into the Kalanis' tight-knit world, where the surf isn't the only thing that's unpredictable. Pro surfer Anthony "Blue" Smith shows up under the glare of a sponsorship deal, but behind the perfect smile, he's questioning everything-including what, and who, he truly wants. And Kay, Skye's best friend, a librarian and skilled surfing instructor, is ready to prove himself on the water-until an unexpected connection leaves him off balance. As waves build at the notorious Reef, passions ignite, loyalties are tested, and every choice could mean victory... or heartbreak. In Sea Glass Beach, the tide can turn in an instant-and nothing will ever be the same.
