    Prologue Kiara Westbridge University wasn't built for girls like me. Its halls were too polished, its chandeliers too crystal-clear, its students too carefully curated from old money and older legacies. Everyone here carried a last name that could open doors, bend rules, and rewrite consequences. Except me. I carried a scholarship, stitched pride, and a thousand reasons why I couldn't afford to fail. And then there was Abheer Malhotra- The crown prince of Westbridge. Heir to an empire, heart made of stone, and eyes like winter-cold, unreadable, and sharp enough to cut. He didn't talk much. Didn't need to. One glance from him was enough to silence a room. I should've stayed away. Should've just ignored him like I ignored every other ego with a trust fund and too much cologne. But no. He noticed me. And worse? He hated me. It started with a comment in class-condescending, precise. Then came the smirks, the subtle sabotages, the storm he carried with every encounter. But hate is a funny thing. It simmers, it snaps, it circles back. Until it's so close to passion, you can't tell which is which. Until the line between enemies and something else entirely starts to blur. This was never supposed to be a love story. But now I think... maybe it was always meant to be one. One set on fire. One built in broken pieces. One we never saw coming.

    She lived in colours. He survived in ash. Nandani Raheja - a painter who believes love is not a feeling, but a form of prayer. Rudransh Vardhan - a man forged in silence, where emotions burn before they can be named. Nandani loved with feeling - Rudransh existed without them. This isn't a love story. It's the collision of light and shadow - of a woman trying to reach a soul that's forgotten how to feel. It's a story where love dares - to stand against the void, even if it breaks in the process.

    In a ruined world patrolled by relentless Arc machines, survival isn't a promise - it's a fight bought day by day. Claire Caden, a sharp-tongued scavenger with a stubborn streak and a past wrapped in mystery, never expected her life to change the morning she woke up to blaring alarms and hit her head on a bunk. But everything shifts the moment she steps into the wasteland beside Draven Hale - her infuriatingly calm, dangerously capable team leader. Together they navigate broken cities, electrical storms, and the haunting silence left in the wake of the Arc invasions. As Claire's strange sensitivity to Arc signals grows stronger, so does the connection between her and Draven. Their chemistry sparks in bunker shelters, in firefights, and in stolen quiet moments neither of them will admit mean everything. When outposts begin to fall and a distorted transmission plays a voice identical to Claire's, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: the Arc aren't just hunting humanity. They're hunting her. Pulled between loyalty and destiny, Claire unravels the secrets of her past while trying to hold together the fragile found family that depends on her. But betrayal strikes from within, sending Draven into enemy hands and forcing Claire to face the Arc alone. What she discovers will change the course of the war - and her heart - forever. Through battles, heartbreak, sacrifice, and the hope of rebuilding something worth living for, Claire and Draven fight not just for survival, but for each other. Because in a world determined to tear itself apart, love might be the one thing powerful enough to put it back together.

    He tugged at her lower lip, just a feather of a touch that Lea barely felt. Before she knew what she was doing she reached up into it, her hands sliding up to cup his jaw. Alex sucked in a breadth and pulled back, just a slightest bit. Lea's hand slid up and entwined with the hair at his nape while the other rested on his chest. He searched her face with glazed eyes, and with a sudden curse he swung her around. He pushed Lea against the shelf, his body covering hers. Her back dug in the wood and the spines of the books. Alex gathered her face, and kissed her with such intensity that her mind went momentarily black. They had began as a slow simmer, and turned into a raging fire. I wish I could tell you this was like a Jane Austen novel with the classic happy ending. It's not. It's a story that will break your heart, and piece it back together again. A story about a boy and a girl... And a group of master assassins, a few criminal lords, judgmental girls in dresses, Pirates, an angry German with a Scythe. And the lie that connects them all.

    Seraphina Moretti was born into power - but all she's ever wanted is freedom. Fiercely loyal with a golden-retriever heart, she hides her softness behind sharp eyeliner, sarcastic comebacks, and an unbreakable will. But when her father summons her to announce her arranged marriage to a man she barely knows - a man who once haunted her in a memory she can't forget - her carefully controlled world starts to fracture. Nikolai "Niko" Vasiliev is heir to a cold empire - a rising mafia dynasty built on precision, loyalty, and silence. Brooding, unreadable, and bound by duty, he's spent his entire life pushing people away to protect the last shred of humanity he has left. He never planned on love. Especially not with her - the girl with fire in her eyes who sees too much and won't stop talking. Thrown together by bloodlines and backroom deals, Sera and Niko are forced to navigate a world of deadly alliances, shifting loyalties, and secrets too dangerous to say aloud. She wants out. He wants to survive. But the more they push against each other, the deeper the pull becomes. And in a world where love is a weakness... falling might be the most dangerous thing they ever do.

But can a girl who has always been treated like an outsider find a home in a world that was never meant for her? Can she prove to Gabe that she isn't her stepmother's puppet-or will her presence reopen scars neither of them are ready to face?

    He had everything-money, looks, a chiseled body, and a family name that shook cities. But a rare, cruel disease made him dependent on something no man should need-human milk. She had nothing-just a quiet life, a struggling home, and a strange gift her body carried: she could produce milk without ever being a mother. When Elena agrees to help a sick child, she expects an infant-not a brooding, sharp-jawed billionaire named Luca. What starts as survival... Turns into silence. Then tension. Then something neither of them dares to name. One gives life. The other? Takes her peace. But maybe... in the dark of midnight, they both find a reason to breathe again. ---

    Six years ago, Zaharina Novati left the De Mevius estate and the boy who never quite asked her to stay. Now she's back-for a party, a favor, and definitely not for the green-eyed vineyard heir with a PhD in avoidance and a minor in emotional constipation. Lucien De Mevius has grown into his brooding jawline and inherited all the dysfunction a family empire can buy. But when Zara walks back into his life-in stilettos, no less-he finds himself wishing for a second chance he's not sure he deserves. Surrounded by old money, new gossip, and enough repressed feelings to warrant a Netflix miniseries, Zara and Lucien must navigate family politics, sibling sabotage, and the kind of chemistry that should be illegal in a room full of expensive crystal. She's trying to keep her distance. He's trying not to combust. And everyone else? They just want the canapés and a front-row seat to the fireworks. Six Years Between Us is a sharply funny, achingly tender story of timing gone wrong, secrets that don't stay buried, and the kind of love that refuses to be ignored-even if you're really trying.
