[A Marriage of Fire and Calm] Sharanya is not someone who can afford to fall apart. Life made her learn responsibility long before she was ready. Armaan, on the other hand, has always chosen distance- stepping back whenever problems come too close. But one fateful evening changes everything. Sharanya's life turns upside down, leaving her with nowhere to turn. And against every instinct she has, she asks for help from the one person she least expected-Armaan. Without hesitation, he steps in. What begins as a forced involvement slowly turns into something neither of them planned. He learns to stay-for her safety. She learns to step back-out of fear of attachment. Between them stands class difference, lifestyle conflict, and emotional baggage neither has healed from. And yet, somewhere in all of this distance... something begins to grow. A connection no one expected. And neither of them knows if it will heal them... or break them further. This is not a story of dominance or toxicity. It is a slow burn-where two broken people learn to heal without losing themselves in each other.

❝𝗞𝗶𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗮 & 𝗣𝗶𝗵𝘂 𝗞𝘂𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶 ❞ She was his best friend's sister-in-law. He was her brother-in-law's best friend. They met, they fought. They talked, they fought. There wasn't a single time they met without ending up fighting with each other. They loved to annoy and irritate each other. And they couldn't tolerate each other's presence for more than five minutes. But then, a situation arose that made them date each other. Sorry-fake date each other. They hated it. They hated each other. But they had to make it look real. And somehow, in all the chaos of pretending to love someone you can barely stand, something began to change... "𝑳𝒐𝒌 𝒎𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒂𝒎𝒄𝒉𝒚𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒂𝒉𝒆. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒓𝒆! 𝑯𝒊 𝒌𝒂𝒊 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒉𝒊𝒚𝒆, 𝒆𝒌𝒅𝒖𝒎 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒂𝒉𝒆!" ----𝑷𝒊𝒉𝒖 𝑲𝒖𝒍𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊 "𝑾𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝒈𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒐 𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒊, 𝒌𝒐𝒊 𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒂 𝒏𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒆.

Final-year Political Science student. RSVP's rising youth face. The boy professors avoid. The one students don't look in the eye. The one whose footsteps are enough to silence a corridor.

And she believes every freaking word. She's just a first-year B.Com student. From a Middle class family, She left Lucknow with dreams in her suitcase. Chandigarh National University was her dream. Her fresh start. Her escape. Living alone in a new city wasn't easy but she was determined. Far away from politics, power, and people like him. Her only goal? Stay invisible, don't get noticed by bullies in college.. But Armaan Brar notices her. And that's where the problem begins. And Armaan Brar has never been gentle about what he wants. Tropes:- - punjabi munda x Brahmin girl - college president x student(1st phase) - MLA x CA Girl (2nd phase) - first love - rich guy x middle class girl - 5 years age gap (don't judge my book with this description there is a lot more about Armaan and Myra, give it a chance please...it's my first story.)

WATTYS 2025 SHORTLIST | Book 1 of the Silver Series -- Milo's lips graze my neck, slow and unhurried, like he has all the time in the world. My breath catches, my fingers curling into his bare back, but I don't pull away. I should. Ryan would kill us both. Ryan, my brother. Ryan, his best friend. He presses closer and drags his tongue, his voice low and teasing against my skin. "Tell me to stop, Lil." I don't. copyright © 2025. all rights reserved.
