Balancing work, online studies, overdue bills, and the quiet loneliness that comes with believing you have to carry everything on your own.

His owner is quiet, guarded, and frustratingly difficult to read. Asher has built a life around fixing broken things. Cars are easy. Engines make sense. People don't.

But somewhere between shared coffees, stolen glances, quiet acts of kindness, and a dog determined to play matchmaker, two wounded hearts slowly begin to discover that healing isn't something you have to do alone. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do... ...is let someone stay. When We Found Home is a heartfelt slow-burn romance about grief, healing, family, second chances, and discovering that the place you've been searching for all along isn't a place at all. It's home.

Known for his violent temper, brutal fights, and cold personality, people stayed far away from him for a reason. At twenty-four years old, Zane had already built a reputation for himself both inside and outside the cage. Covered in tattoos with intimidating olive-green eyes and a dangerous attitude, he was the type of man parents warned their daughters about. And honestly? They were right to. But Zane never cared what anyone thought about him. He hated feelings, avoided attachments, and had no interest in love. Until he saw her, Amara Yves. The soft-spoken nineteen-year-old girl who showed up at one of his matches with her friend. With dark doe eyes, long black curls, and the sweetest smile he had ever seen, Amara was everything Zane wasn't. Gentle. Feminine. Innocent. The kind of girl who spent her time reading books, drinking iced coffee, and seeing good in everyone. She was too soft for his world. And the worst part? Zane couldn't stay away from her. For the first time in his life, he wanted something he knew he would ruin. The more he pushed her away, the more obsessed he became. Because no matter how dangerous he was... Amara made him feel human again. But monsters don't deserve soft girls. And Zane Galanis knew better than anyone that loving him came with consequences. To the world, he was dangerous. To her, he was just Zane. He spent his whole life fighting everyone around him. Until he met the girl who made him fight himself instead. Starting date - May 14th, 2026

A stern father compels Zarrar, 29-year-old surgeon into an arranged marriage with Hana, a 22-year-old student living in London. _________ "Where are you going?" she asked, flat. "Research trip." He tossed a shirt in, didn't look up. "And you're telling me this now?" "It was sudden." She made a noise somewhere between a tut and a laugh. "I do not care. You know what-" She stepped onto the couch, two quick climbs-herself at 5'4" suddenly level with his eyes, all heat and vowels. Here it is. The tongue was indeed ten feet long tonight. He stayed silent, left packing, arms folded over his chest and just stared. Hana doing her job, utterly, with whole rights over him to shout. "There won't be anything for me to be surprised if I wake up someday in the graveyard with mud sprayed over me 'cause my dear husband must have gotten too exasperated by my being, that he- the victim, had to bury me alive while I was asleep." Zarrar swallowed a smile, let her finish, then moved. He stepped in, hands light on her waist, lifted-she squawked, all outrage-then held her over his shoulder as he walked the three strides to the bed. She behaved as if someone unplugged her, forgot how to speak. He set her gently at the edge of the mattress and went down on one knee in front of her, floorboards cool under him. "What do you want me to say now?" "Are you actually asking me this?" Her voice wobbled, anger running out of fuel. "Yeah," he said, and he was smirking now, fond and infuriating. "Any last wishes of my wife before I bury her alive." ________ dive into the story of something very different from soap operas. TROOP ~ choas x cold yapper x listener age gap. doctor's divine

Clumsy, stubborn, and hopelessly bad at Physics, she spends her days trying to survive university while avoiding the one person she hates most-Professor Adyant Malhotra. Cold. Ruthless. Unapproachable. With his sharp gaze, terrifying reputation, and impossible lectures, Adyant is every student's nightmare and Adishti's personal enemy.

For him, it was just a forgotten blessing... For her, it was just a small act of kindness. Neither of them knew... That one fleeting moment had already tied their fates together. He walked away without asking her name... Not knowing that the girl standing before him would one day become the center of his universe. What began as an ordinary encounter... Turned into a story of devotion, betrayal, and a truth buried for years. He became her quiet harbor. One lie destroyed his entire world. The man who once stood between her and every storm... Became the storm itself. Four years later... A new identity. An empire built on blood, revenge, and secrets no one saw coming. A man the world fears... But no one truly knows. While she is chasing a ghost, searching for answers to a past that was stolen from her, piece by piece. Every step she takes draws her deeper into a web she barely understands. And at the center of that web... Stands the man she never thought she'd meet again. Until fate leads her... Right back into his world. In a world where every smile hides a secret and every truth comes with a price... How far can devotion go before it becomes destruction?
