When fate breaks you once, it doesn't let you go-it follows you across lifetimes. He is danger wrapped in a French accent, trained to kill without remorse. She is devotion and fire, born on the ghats of Banaras, carrying a past she doesn't remember-but her soul does. They were bound once. They died unfinished. Now reborn on opposite sides of the world, pulled together by blood, destiny, and sins that refuse to stay buried. When the Ganga meets the Seine, love isn't gentle. It's lethal. And survival comes at a price.

Sometimes, love doesn't announce itself. Sometimes, it waits. Quietly. Patiently. Watching. She had always believed she wasn't meant to be loved the way others were - the main character in someone's story, the center of someone's world. And then he came. He saw her. Really saw her. Not for her smile or her laugh, but for the small, quiet things no one else noticed. And for years, she didn't even know. They started as enemies, collided like worlds apart, and slowly became friends. But life had its own plans. Betrayal, misunderstandings, distance - everything that could test love, did. Yet, through every stolen glance, every unspoken word, every heartbeat she didn't feel yet... he was always there. Waiting. Loving. Breathing her in without her knowing. This is their story - of quiet devotion, of hidden love, of ordinary lives turning into something extraordinary

Noor Aftab was raised behind stone walls and perfect rules - her father's pride, her family's honor, her fiancé's future wife. But all of that shatters the day a man from the shadows sees her. Aleksandr Volkov, Russian mafia heir, cold-blooded and cruel by birthright, wasn't supposed to notice her. Not during a defense event. Not in a room full of powerful men. Not when he came to Pakistan for weapons, not women. But one glance was all it took. Now, she's more than just a daughter or a bride-to-be. She's his obsession. And Aleksandr doesn't knock when he wants something. He takes it. She doesn't know it yet... but her freedom ends where his obsession begins. And this time, the war won't be between armies. It'll be between a girl who wants to be free- and a man who only knows how to keep things by ruining them.

Welcome to a world where flaky croissants meet chewy rice cakes, and where the greatest battle isn't fought with swords-but with spatulas, rolling pins, and secret recipes. In The Croissant War: A Tale of Pastry, Pride, and Stinky Tofu, cultures collide, tempers flare, and unlikely friendships (and romances!) rise from the steamy streets of Kilia to the elegant avenues of Meralia. Antoine Dubois, Meralia's most perfectionist and uptight pastry chef, has everything: a world-renowned bakery, flawless five-layer croissants, and a reputation for being as sharp as his knives. But perfection has its price-and for Antoine, it's boredom. When he impulsively leaves his comfortable life behind and travels to Kilia, a chaotic island nation famous for its noisy night markets and adventurous food, he's in for more than he bargained for. Enter Yu-Wei Lin, a fiery, no-nonsense street food queen who runs the legendary Matsu Temple Bakery at the heart of Kilia's oldest district. She's loud, proud, and fiercely protective of her community, and the last thing she wants is some foreigner messing with tradition-especially one who thinks his fancy pastries are better than her grandma's pineapple cakes. But when an international mega-corporation threatens to bulldoze the district and replace it with soulless chain cafes, Antoine and Yu-Wei are forced into an uneasy alliance. He brings his delicate techniques and stubborn perfectionism; she brings her street smarts and unapologetic love for fermented flavors. Together, they cook up a plan to save the neighborhood-and maybe create a pastry so delicious it'll unite two worlds. Unfortunately, nothing goes according to plan...

Ayesha never imagined that her world-one filled with the warmth of chai, the familiar hum of Lahore's streets, and the simplicity of her family's expectations-would collide with something so foreign, so different. But when she meets Adam, a British Pakistani whose life has been shaped by a world she doesn't quite understand, everything changes. She, a girl who finds comfort in tradition, in the values passed down by generations, is now facing a love that transcends cultures, distances, and ideals. Adam, raised in the fast-paced, ever-changing city of London, carries with him the weight of his own struggles-struggles that, at first, seem far removed from her own simple life. They argue about everything: chai versus coffee, family, faith, and the very definition of home. But with each heated debate, each misunderstanding, something unexpected blooms. In Adam's eyes, Ayesha begins to see a world of possibilities she had never dared to dream of. And in Ayesha's embrace, Adam finds the anchor he didn't know he was missing. Yet, between them lies a chasm of distance-both geographical and emotional-that neither can cross easily.
