Amara Monroe is not the kind of woman who stops moving. She is a graduate student, a business owner, a daughter, and a caretaker all at once, and she handles every single role with the kind of quiet discipline that most people never see because she does not ask them to. Her life runs on early mornings, tight budgets, and the deep belief that doing things the right way matters even when no one is watching. Kit Wattanakul is a Thai-American chef who built his Atlanta restaurant on the same principle. Disciplined. Intentional. Rooted in the culture and family that shaped him. He is not a man who does things carelessly. Which makes it all the more complicated when one unexpected afternoon puts Amara in his orbit and neither of them can quite find their way back to the distance they started with. This is not a story about two people who fall recklessly into each other. It is a story about two people who feel something real and choose, again and again, to handle it with honesty and care. About what it costs to want something you are not yet free to reach for. About family duty and cultural identity and the particular courage it takes to build love on a foundation that can actually hold. Set against the copper and gold of an Atlanta autumn, Eyes on You is a slow burn that earns every degree of heat. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just two people deciding that something worth having is worth doing right. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Aashiq Tera ✨🫴 "Mohabbat ki thi tumse, sauda nahi... magar tumne toh meri har saans ka hisaab maang liya. Maine toh tumhe apna khuda mana tha, aur tumne mujhe mere hi wajood ka gunehgar bana diya." She entered the threshold not as a bride, but as a prayer that had finally been answered-only to find that the god she worshipped didn't believe in her. For her, this marriage was the sanctuary she had sought her whole life, a chance to belong to someone after a lifetime of being an afterthought. She carried a heart full of old, golden hope and a secret that had lived in her eyes since childhood. He stood at the altar with a heart turned to stone. To him, she wasn't the woman he was meant to protect; she was the thief who had stolen his sky and caged his wings. He didn't see the love in her gaze-he only saw the ruins of the dream she had allegedly snatched away. He didn't vow to cherish her; he vowed to be the haunting silence she could never escape. One house. Two strangers. A thousand unspoken words. Amidst the joy of a family that adores her and the shadows of a room that rejects her, she will learn that the hardest heart to melt is the one that thinks it has been betrayed. He was the fire that burnt her, and she was the ash that still belonged to him. How long can she love a man who treats her existence like a sin? And how long can he hate the only person who was ever truly his? "Suna hai agni har malaitaa ko jala deti hai... magar meri mohabbat toh iss aag mein hi tapkar kundun banegi."

To all the girls who dream of a foreign boyfriend who'll fight the world for you... Adelio Morrone is waiting in Rome.

In the sacred chaos of Vrindavan's temples, two strangers cross paths-once through a lost heirloom, then again through a moment that feels almost like a blessing. They don't exchange names, only fleeting glances and quiet acts of kindness... yet something lingers. Months later, destiny pulls them into the same world again-not as strangers, but as colleagues. Friendship blooms where recognition doesn't, and emotions begin to grow where neither of them allows it to. He feels deeply. She holds back-bound by a promise to never choose love over her parents' wishes. Just when distance seems easier than desire, fate intervenes again... this time not in a temple, but in front of their families. Is it coincidence, or something far more divine? A story of unspoken love, unwavering values, and a connection that refuses to fade-no matter how hard they try to deny it.

Enemies in January (Twelve Months of Us - Book 1) Jaipur just got colder... and it has nothing to do with the weather. Tara Mehra is loud, messy, and full of heart. Aarav Malhotra is cold, calculated, and allergic to chaos-which is exactly what follows when they're forced to co-organize a glamorous New Year's charity event in Jaipur, sparks fly-and not the cute kind. The "I'll set your Excel sheet on fire" kind. Their families are practically joint at the hip, but Tara and Aarav? They've been sworn enemies since The Great Holi War of 2018. But when venue disasters, late-night planning sessions, and a very viral dance rehearsal start blurring the lines between hate and something hotter, they both have to decide-was it always hate, or was it just tension waiting to explode? It was supposed to be a one-month truce. They didn't plan on falling in lust. And they definitely didn't plan on falling in love. Enemies. Rivals. Fire and ice. This January, Jaipur's most chaotic duo is about to discover that falling in love might be the most dramatic event of the year.

Kashvi Mehra had it all - success, power, and a last name that opened doors in every corner of the world. But what she didn't have was peace. So she went to Kashi, hoping the sacred city would calm the chaos inside her. What she didn't expect was him. Arjun - a quiet, devoted priest who performed the Ganga Aarti like the river itself moved to his rhythm. Steady. Unshakeable. Untouchable. Week after week, she returned, saying nothing, just watching. He noticed - but said even less. It was a love that stayed silent for years, bound by traditions, distance, and unspoken truths. Until one moment changed everything. Now, in a city built on faith, two souls who were never meant to meet must face the fire of judgment, family, and fate - all for a love that was as sacred as the river between them. This isn't just a love story. It's a slow burn, a storm, a prayer. And once it begins... there's no going back.

Eighteen months ago, Dr. Margot Cross presented evidence that the Temple of Dalreth was far more than ancient stone. She was right about the impossible-and it destroyed her career. The archaeological community called her delusional. Her university cut ties. Her colleagues whispered behind her back. But when reports of a mysterious illness start emerging from the forbidden northern territories, Margot sees the patterns she predicted. The temple is responding to something. And people are dying. With nothing left to lose, she hires a guide to take her into the restricted zone. Aren is guarded, capable, and hiding secrets of his own. Together, they discover that Margot was right all along. The temple holds memories of the last outbreak, three hundred years ago. It knows what's killing people. It knows how to stop it. But its ancient solution might destroy everyone before it saves them. With only hours to prevent a catastrophic response, Margot must learn to communicate with something that remembers when her ancestors were still learning to build with stone.
