🖤 Hridaan Deora & Advita Goenka 🖤 In a country that worships power, the Deoras are not spoken of- they are remembered. Old money. Old influence. A legacy that doesn't rise... it endures. Their name doesn't make headlines. It decides them. At the center of it all stands Hridaan Deora- the heir who never needed a crown to rule. Measured. Untouchable. Raised in a house where silence is taught before speech, and truths are buried deeper than loyalty. Nothing enters the Deora world without permission. Nothing stays without purpose. Until her. Advita Goenka. She doesn't arrive with noise. She doesn't ask for space. And yet- doors open. Rooms shift. And something long undisturbed... stirs. The Deora house has always been a place of order. Of control. Of carefully preserved history. But some legacies don't stay buried. They echo. In unanswered questions. In closed rooms. In names that are never spoken aloud. And for the first time in years- Hridaan begins to look closer. Not at the world. At his own home. Because something about her presence feels less like coincidence... and more like consequence. And in a family where everything is controlled, the most dangerous thing isn't power. It's what survives it. In Deora family, nothing is ever accidental. Not the alliances. Not the distance. Not even the affection. And certainly not the secrets. Some are inherited. Some are protected. And some... are buried so well, even the truth forgets where to find them.

Anaya Sharma is brilliance wrapped in silence. At just twenty-seven, she's a celebrated surgeon-admired for her flawless skills and feared for her icy demeanor. To many, she is arrogant. Untouchable. But what they don't see is the price she pays to save lives-sometimes even at the cost of her own. Arjun Rathore is the sun to her storm. A charming, sharp-witted criminal and constitutional lawyer, Arjun's presence in a courtroom is unstoppable. No one dares challenge the man whose words bend justice and who never bows to power, especially political corruption. But even his influence falters when the system he fights turns its back on his greatest weakness-his sister. When Aarushi Rathore becomes the victim of a politically fueled accident, no hospital is willing to treat her. Doors close. Fear spreads. Hope begins to fade. Until Anaya steps forward. Knowing the consequences, she chooses courage over comfort. Defying the very system that protects her, she risks her career-and her life-to save Aarushi. Her selfless act plants the first seed of admiration in Arjun's heart. As Aarushi heals, so does something else. Arjun begins to break through Anaya's carefully built walls, slowly melting the ice around her heart. In late-night checkups, courtroom battles, and whispered confessions, their bond deepens. What starts as respect becomes warmth, and warmth becomes something neither of them expected-love. But in a world where power silences truth, their love is a rebellion. Together, they must face threats, political enemies, and the ghosts of their pasts. Because some love stories aren't written in peace. They're written in courage, fire, and quiet defiance. "She saves lives with a scalpel. He protects truth with words. And together-they dare to love in a world that punishes the brave."

ATTENTION: This is the SECOND book of my Vampire's Pet series and cannot be read as a stand alone book. ~~~ I thought that my life had ended the day I got purchased by a blood thirsty monster. I thought that the rest of my life was going to be nothing but constant fear and suffering. But I couldn't have been more wrong. What I found was something much different. Something that I didn't even know I was looking for let alone wanted. What I found was a new beginning. A new beginning with the one I cared most for. ~~~ Cover by: @aculeasis

Book 1 of the Love and Duty Series Anirudh Roy, the steadfast and disciplined army officer, had always lived by a set of principles, none of which involved love. His life revolved around duty, honor, and the pursuit of his ambitions. Marriage, children, and emotional entanglements were unnecessary distractions in his eyes-until he met Dhairya Sharma. Dhairya was everything Anirudh thought he could easily overlook: an average girl with humble dreams, working a simple job and striving to carve a career for herself. She had left her hometown, filled with determination, to build a new life in New Delhi. Love was never on her agenda either. She was driven by her ambitions, not romantic fantasies. Yet, the moment they met, something shifted. Anirudh felt an undeniable attraction-one that grew into something deeper and more profound. It was as if all his carefully laid plans unraveled, his walls crumbling down piece by piece as he fell in love with Dhairya. She, too, found herself surrendering to emotions she hadn't anticipated, breaking her own resolve. But life had other plans for them. Their love story, unlike the fairytales, wasn't destined to have a smooth path. Years after their fateful meeting, something catastrophic happened-an event so shattering that it left Anirudh in pieces, unable to comprehend how his life could spiral so far from the strength and control he once held dear. The question that remains is not merely what devastated them but why Anirudh, who never believed in love, found himself so consumed by it that even in his brokenness, every breath he took was still devoted to her. His journey, from an unyielding soldier to a man completely undone by love, reflects the inexplicable power that Dhairya had over his heart, a love that he could never let go, no matter the cost.

Prithvi Raj Sooryavanshi was aware of many things in his life. His physical appearance of six four height, raspy voice, and the long scar across the left side of his face made people wary of him. Unapproachable. His rough childhood was always going to be a constant shadow even if he was the heir of a billionaire financial company. His relationship with his father wasn't ever going to be amicable. Not after his mother's untimely death. B-5 was the only source of strength in his life. A permanent part of his life. No matter what. And there was someone, he knew would wreck his life in both good and bad ways. He took pride in being patient among his group but there was someone who could break his restraint with a snap of the fingers. Jo for everyone. For him- Jyothika Nair. 'His Talab.' {His Quest} None of her qualities would categorize her as a typical girl. Short tempered strong rational thinker to the point where everyone around her wants to pull their hair than cross-question her. She was right to use her brain over her heart. At least that was her belief. The easiest way to get a reaction was to challenge her. The tough environment in her personal life pushed her to give up tenderness of any sort. Head-on personality with a fragile heart hidden from everyone. Except one. Prithvi for everyone. For her, he was Raj. 'Her Yaaram.' {Her Beloved} His intense gaze would shred her façade before she could avert her eyes. There was captivating intimacy in their simple, teasing touches and playful banters. A longing, an unfathomable thirst of years waiting to be quenched. Best Friends for over a decade, secret lovers for years, yet no single progress in their relationship. Until destiny takes the matter into their hands. Can love conquer all, or will the huddles of life derail their fledgling romance? A journey to find the balance of strength and vulnerability in a relationship. They denied love again and again. Love stormed its way to turn into their boon and bane
