American-boy Stories

Lili thought moving to America to be with her dad meant everything would be good and she had escaped her past but that was before she meant Hunter and started a forbidden love that could ruin everything.

Kiara Mehrotra came to New York to chase her PhD, not love. Focused, fiercely independent, and carrying her own shadows, she isn't looking to be rescued - until she meets Ryan Evans, an ER doctor with a quiet intensity and wounds of his own. What begins as unexpected connection soon deepens into something neither of them planned for. But love, no matter how sincere, is rarely simple. As cultural differences, emotional baggage, and the weight of unspoken fears rise between them, Kiara and Ryan are forced to ask themselves: can two broken people build something whole? Set against the pulse of New York City and the warmth of Indian traditions, Keeping Promises is a powerful, slow-burn romance about healing, identity, and the promises we make - and keep - when love is real. "They met as strangers. Fell as lovers. Healed as soulmates."
