Upon arriving in the dusty outback town of Millchester, Queensland, Australia, Phoebe is certain she is finally safe from the bastard who wants to rob her of everything she has...including her life. Being swept up in the strong arms of a stranger, she finds herself tempted with pleasures she couldn't refuse, and must face the uncertainty surrounding what was to become of her. This wasn't a job Raymond MacAllester wanted to do, but he had no choice. If he didn't take Phoebe back east to Inkerman, he'd be risking his sister's life. Given that she was Gordon Marriot's half-sister, he doubted it would be easy to find her, but he would not allow himself to feel guilt for any member of that heartless, corrupt family. When he meets Phoebe running for her life in the streets of Millchester, he couldn't believe this beauty was any family of Gordon's. When he finally took her into custody, he assumed she'd reluctantly agree to go back home. Never could he imagine that she would fight him as if her life depended on it. When Phoebe learns the true reason for Raymond coming after her, and his relationship with her brother, she is heartbroken and betrayed. Returning to Inkerman with Gordon, she resumes her place in his corrupt company. Desperate to find her and make her believe she was more than a business transaction, Raymond follows her to Inkerman and reluctantly reinstates himself into a life he hoped never to see again. Reunited with Phoebe, and desperate to save her from Gordon's overbearingness, Raymond risks everything to try and get her to safety. Will she let him play at being her knight in shining armour though, or has he left it too late? Content Warning: contains sex, strong language, and some violence

"Oii Newton! I know you're there!" Not again. "Oii Ambujam! Oii Ambujanayaki Parameshwari!" Ugh. What now? Kathir's voice -loud, and aimed straight at my last nerve. I stood up reluctantly. There he was, perched on his terrace with one eyebrow raised, arms folded, ready to ruin my peace. I leaned over the parapet wall and stared down at him. "It's Ilakkiya! How many times do I have to tell you?" "You'll always be Ambujam to me." Full smirk. "Oh really?" I shot back. "Then Ambujam is going to the protest-with or without your royal permission." His face shifted. The mischief drained. "If you go..." he said slowly, "I won't talk to you again. Decide now. It's either me or that stupid Vedhagiri." I blinked. Then laughed. "That's easy. Vedhagiri." "That stupid old hill is more important than me? Your maama?" He threw his hands up. "Unbelievable! I curse the neutrinos of this entire universe. They've ruined my love story." "Your love story?" I grinned. "That failed one? Don't blame neutrinos for your hopeless flirting." I leaned in. "Scared I'll become a better hero than you?" "Don't turn this into a joke, Ilakkiya." His voice dropped, all playfulness gone. "Something's going to go wrong. I can feel it. And I... I won't be able to watch that happen to you." I stilled. "Oh? So this is about you watching? Many will be there-including your friends. Why stop just me?" He opened his mouth, then shut it. A silent war waged behind his eyes. Finally, he exhaled. "When the neutrinos fall in love," he said, softer now, "you'll understand." Then he turned and walked away. Neutrinos... fall in love? Has he gone completely mad? Or does he know something he's not telling me? *** Heads up, guys! I let myself go a little wild with this one-on purpose! This isn't like my previous stories. I so wanted to write one senseless smutty story, so here it is. I hope you laugh, blush, swoon, and enjoy it! ( Warning: Cousin romance trope! )

"She was a storm he never saw coming. He was the calm she never knew she needed." Anika Sisodia Pamar was never meant for a life she didn't choose. Raised in the pulse of Hyderabad, she built herself to be untouchable-independent, composed, and immune to the idea of fate deciding her future. Rudra Sarvisha Rao never questioned tradition. In a town where his family's name carried weight and his devotion to Lord Shiva shaped his routine, life was structured, predictable... controlled. Until one Monday unraveled everything. A temple ritual. A public humiliation. A forced choice between submission and survival. And a marriage neither of them planned. What begins as an impulsive act to protect her soon binds them in a reality neither understands-one shaped by dusty winds, silent sacrifices, and a family that welcomes her without knowing the truth behind the sindoor she wears. Six months later, just as Anika begins to find her footing in a world so unlike her own, her past comes crashing back-dragging her away from a life she never expected to want. But distance has a way of clarifying what chaos cannot. Because somewhere between devotion and defiance, something real had begun to grow. And this time, it won't be fate that decides. DUST, DEVOTION & YOU - is a story about a wrong place, a right moment, and two people stubborn enough to find their way back to each other. Drama. Romance. Chaos. Stillness. A Hyderabad girl. A Kishanganj man. And Shiva, quietly smiling at the top of the hill. calm ml x chaotic fl village boy x city girl forced marriage slow burn protective husband small town x big city secretly rich hero temple marriage opposites attract reunion romance family drama marriage before love traditional boy x modern girl found family destiny trope
