Caden Connelly is hot. Dumb. And possibly cursed. Every girl he dates ends up falling for someone else-usually one of his teammates-and he's sick of being the universe's personal punchline. So this semester, he's got a new plan: fake date someone completely undateable. Someone so immune to hockey charm, the curse won't stand a chance. Enter Raven Alore. She's too smart to fall for a himbo goalie and way too busy trying to win a cutthroat sports media internship, take revenge on her ex, and survive living with her backstabbing roommate. She has exactly zero time for Caden's golden retriever energy or his abs of distraction. But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies. (Okay, maybe one shirtless selfie.) But the longer they fake it, the messier it gets-because Caden's actually... not that dumb? And Raven's not that heartless. And this whole thing? Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Aiden Acharya is a headstrong inspiring musician. He meets Aru Shah, a quiet journalist-always with a diary in her hand writing poetry. What happens when the two collaborate on music and unexpectedly fall in love? Can their love overshadow Aru's diagnosis of Alzheimer's? From the movie Saiyaara :) Read my other stories.

She had been alive for three thousand years, and exhaustion was her forever companion. She had lost everything and everyone. "It's me against the world." "No." He would say, "It's you and me against the world." ⚠️This book covers serious topics such as grief, suicide, and death. I have lightened it up so as to not trigger anyone hopefully, but you have been warned.⚠️

Rudra Sarpa-nicknamed "Rudy" by the school- is the most popular guy in college. His family situation sparks him to long to explore the world, hence this trip.

These are all just a bunch of Aru Shah oneshots All characters belong to Roshani Chokshi All right, start reading!

Ugh. Aru's mom was filling out a bio on "mydesimatch.com". ANOTHER dating website. When was she gonna stop? Oh yeah-- Aru's mom was the kind that was set on finding a good match for her wedding. You know, rich, high salary, good-looking, etc. What happens when she meets Aiden Acharya, the son of a mother thinking the same as hers? ...They DO NOT hit it off. At all. But that might change when they decide to fake date to be rid of the nosy aunties' prying eyes. Sparks fly, but will they eventually die out?

Aiden's POV during some... moments. Moments with Aru, funny moments, stuff like that. All characters are completely Roshani Chokshi's, and I wouldn't have it any other way. SPOILERS!!! Also: THESE ARE NOT IN ORDER!!! A moment with Kara could be there, and then some funny Aru "I know where you live" parts after. Mature just to be safe, though I think it isn't really necessary. When Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality comes out, I'll make some for that book too. Enjoy! P.S. I'm Indian. I can pronounce things. I'm not Hindu, I'm Sikh, but I can relate.
