I will be working on this book while rewriting RwB for paperback, so updates might be a little slow, but many readers have asked for a rewrite and I didn't want you guys to wait more years.

"I built an empire from nothing so you would never have to bow your head, Naina." "But inside this empire, Kabir... I am dead." Kabir Rajvansh won the war against poverty, becoming India's most ruthless tech CEO. He gave his wife, Naina, a life of absolute luxury-the very queen of his golden kingdom. But somewhere along the way, while chasing numbers and transaction margins, he became a stranger. When the wealth becomes a cold, suffocating prison, Naina demands the one thing his millions can't buy: her freedom. A devastatingly slow-burn, heart-wrenching Desi love story about an enemy turned lover, turned complete stranger.

**THE BROKEN BENEFACTOR** War doesn't end when the plane lands. Lance Corporal **Ethan Raye** comes home from Syria alive-but barely. Once a proud Marine with a future, a fiancée, and a body he could trust, Ethan is now trapped inside pain, nightmares, rage, and a disability he never asked for. The battlefield took pieces of him. The silence at home threatens to take the rest. His fiancée, **Charlotte**, promised to stand beside him. But love looks different when the man who returns is no longer the man who left. Then comes **Valerie**. After a chain of family tragedies destroys the life she was trying to build, Valerie is forced to drop out of college and return home to save the family house and the land her parents sacrificed everything for. Taking a job as a healthcare worker is supposed to be survival. A paycheck. A way to keep her family from losing the last thing they have left. She never expects Ethan Raye. He is wounded, angry, guarded, and drowning in secrets. She is exhausted, determined, and carrying burdens no one sees. Every day she cares for him, Valerie learns that some pain does not bleed where people can see it-and some men are not broken because they are weak, but because they have been strong for too long. But Ethan's past is not finished with him. Secrets buried before the war begin rising. Charlotte's love may not be as steady as it seems. Valerie's heart becomes the one place Ethan starts to feel human again. And when suffering, loyalty, guilt, and desire collide, one question becomes impossible to ignore: Can a woman fighting to save her own home help a wounded soldier find his way back to his? **He lost himself for his country. She helped him find his way back home.** A gripping **military romance**, **wounded hero romance**, **caregiver romance**, and emotional **interracial romantic suspense** about sacrifice, survival, forbidden feelings, family secrets, and the kind of love that finds you when life has already torn you apart

​When you pour genuine love into a relationship, you never expect to be part of someone else's game. ​What started in 2024 as a hopeful new beginning with Bokang slowly unraveled into a web of deceit, unspoken motives, and broken trust. It took walking away-and facing the painful truth-to realize that what felt like love was built on a lie. ​When I Thought I Was Once in Love is a candid personal journey through heartbreak, betrayal, and self-reflection. It's the story of waking up from a false reality, finding the strength to heal during months of solitude, and ultimately discovering what real love looks like.

"kabhi koi shikayat ho toh bata dena" he said holding her hand "shikayat " she chuckled bitterly "Woh toh hum kab ki dil mein daba chuke hain " "Hogi bhi toh jaante hain apse nahi kahenge yaad hai hume woh alfaz achi tarah se" what will happen when two different souls come across will they be able to groom the flower of love ? Will they be able to walk on the path of love full of thorns?

"The day you abandoned your daughter... you signed the death warrant of your kingdom." •••••••••••••••• Born under the full moon and blessed by the Moon God, Chandramukhi should have been the kingdom's greatest blessing. Instead, she was thrown into the sacred Ganga moments after her birth... because she was a girl. Years later, fate brings the forgotten princess back to the very kingdom that tried to erase her existence. But her return awakens an ancient curse. A curse that declares one terrifying truth, The abandoned daughter will one day destroy the kingdom with her own hands. To save his throne, her father forces her into a royal marriage. Yet behind the sacred vows lies a horrifying secret. She was never chosen to be a queen... She was chosen to die. Poisoned, betrayed, hunted, and left for dead, Chandramukhi is rescued by the one man whose heart had unknowingly belonged to her since the day he pulled a crying infant from the river. As kingdoms collide, forgotten heirs return, ancient prophecies unfold, and love challenges destiny itself, Chandramukhi must decide, Will she become the monster the kingdom fears... Or the queen it never deserved? Some kingdoms fall because of war. This one fell because it abandoned its daughter.

Maira grew up learning how to stand on her own. She kept her world small and steady focused on her studies, her responsibilities, and the quiet goals she carried in her heart. She did not ask for grand dreams,just a peaceful future, a stable home, a partner who would stand beside her. She believed that if she worked hard enough and stayed patient enough, life would meet her halfway. But some journeys begin long before we realize we've stepped into them. After the betrayals, Maira no longer waits for answers. She lives with the echoes of it, but she also chooses: will she let the past define her, or will she give herself a second chance at a life filled with hope? Maira is a story of endurance, hope, and the quiet strength of a woman who once wished for something simple and found the courage to start again. #selflove......No.1......... 29 July 2026

‎I am Zanthea and hindi niniwala sa love. maaga kasi akong naulila sa ina at minsan sinasaktan pa ako ng tatay ko kaya never kong naranasan ang tinatawag na 'love'. ‎ ‎Masasakit na salita? Isa lang yan sa mga narinig ko mula sa mga tao. Panghuhusga, tsk kala mo naman perpekto. ‎ ‎until such time na May nakilala akong lalaki na hindi ko inaasahang makapagpapabago sa pananaw ko. ‎ ‎yung tipong 'totoo pala ang love?' 'magmamahal pa pala ako ng ganito?' ‎ ‎Mga bagay na hindi mo inaasahang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Mga bagay na di mo inaasahang babago sayo. ‎ ‎pero pano kung ang taong yun pala ay bawal mahalin... ‎ ‎ ‎

When fate reunites two souls separated by years, buried promises begin to resurface, secrets refuse to stay hidden, and love becomes the most dangerous weakness of all. In a world where loyalty is earned in blood and betrayal is paid for with death... Will a childhood promise be enough to survive the darkness? ♠️

Zaycharl keeps waiting for someone he never truly stopped loving-his ex, Althea. Althea keeps her distance, afraid that coming back will only hurt him again. And somewhere between them stands Angel, silently loving her best friend while knowing she may never be chosen. Three hearts. One unfinished love. And a waiting shed where old feelings refuse to fade. When the past comes knocking and a secret love waits in the shadows, who will stay-and who will finally let go?

I have one condition: Promise me you will never fall in love with me." Mark Johnson doesn't understand love. To him, romance is a foreign language he simply can't speak. When he witnesses the school's "Perfect President," Melissa Daphne, rejecting a confession with the same cold detachment he feels, he thinks he's found a kindred spirit. They strike a deal: A friendship built on logic, a shared campaign for the student council, and a strict pact to keep things "uncomplicated." But as the masks of perfection begin to slip, Mark realizes that some promises are meant to be broken. From the high-stakes pressure of school elections to the sweat-stained turf of the soccer field, the two find themselves crossing lines they swore they'd never touch. What happens when the boy who doesn't understand love and the girl who is terrified of it find themselves facing a future they never planned for? From the halls of high school to the life-and-death stakes of the hospital and the police precinct, this is a story about the beauty of being imperfect together. Some rules were made to be broken. Some loves are the reason why.

Matagal man na nakalimot ako sayo Pero sa wakas.. Tapos na ako Na mahalin ka But I guess this line will always stay and hold me in a chokehold, "Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal."

Nalunod ka sa isang dagat na walang hangganan, sa kailaliman na walang sinumang kayang abutin. Iniligtas mo ang lahat kahit unti-unti ka nang nilalamon ng sarili mong dilim. Palagi kang naging kamay na umaabot sa iba, ang taong marunong sumagip kahit ikaw mismo ay unti-unting lumulubog. Pero nang ikaw na ang nangangailangan ng tulong- walang kamay ang umabot. Walang tinig ang tumawag sa pangalan mo. Walang taong sumisid para hanapin ka. At doon mo napagtanto.. Kung kaya mong iligtas ang lahat, sino naman ang magliligtas sa'yo?

For all the souls who have hearts with abnormally high walls surrounding it, for all the people who didn't feel like they belonged anywhere, or didn't believe that anyone really loved them. This is for you.

Hay mentiras que se visten de amor perfecto. A los veinticuatro años, un frío mensaje de texto destruyó mi mundo. Tardé años en recoger los pedazos, reconstruirme y encontrar mi refugio en las aulas de un colegio en Valencia, convencida de que la tranquilidad por fin era mía. Hasta que en 2024, una canción volvió a traer a Santiago a mi vida. Lo que empezó como un reencuentro inocente se convirtió en dos años de promesas, cartas a mano, sueños de boda y un cariño sincero hacia su hijo. Él decía que yo era una «mujer de oro». Yo creí que el destino me estaba dando una segunda oportunidad. No sabía que estaba viviendo dentro de la vida de alguien más. La verdad no avisa: una ecografía, una niña en camino y una esposa en las sombras. Pero romperme una vez no significa que me vaya a quedar en el suelo. Mientras cierro las puertas del pasado con la dignidad intacta, alguien al otro lado del mapa está a punto de enseñarme que el amor verdadero no duele... ni se esconde entre mentiras. Una historia de traición, sanación y segundas oportunidades.
