She wasn't the blushing bride. He wasn't the doting groom. In 2025, where love stories are filtered through Instagram reels and family WhatsApp gossip, Ishra and Ruhan crash into marriage like strangers at war. She's bold enough to scandalise an entire wedding hall. He's reckless enough to savor every moment of the chaos. What happens when a marriage meant to be a performance turns into a dangerous game of push and pull... and neither of them is willing to lose? Bound by tradition but breaking all the rules, their story is a fierce dance of defiance, desire, and discovering what it really means to belong on their own terms.

The colony watched them grow up together. Paper airplanes over the boundary wall. Eleven years of school steps and the specific, unspoken language of two people who have been beside each other long enough to stop noticing they're necessary. Then a complaint is filed on a Tuesday. One word from the wrong person. The story passes from house to house - it doesn't require facts, only the machinery of: I heard. Did you hear? They say. Arjun Malhotra leaves at twenty-two and builds an empire in the decade that follows. A fortress that cannot be entered. Riya Sharma leaves for Geneva. She builds herself smaller. The full version of herself managed down into something that does not ache. Ten years pass. His brother's wedding. Lake Como. A gate. She walks through it and he feels the decade collapse. Not gradually. Not with a process. Simply: stops. What follows is what two people build when they've been given back the decade they were owed. A plan in sixteen chapters. A South Delhi apartment with a neem tree on the balcony. Three children who become theirs. A threat from the past that isn't finished yet. And the slow, methodical work of two people learning to build each other. ⸻ ✦Second-chance romance. Slow burn. Delhi & Lake Como. A man who built walls instead of doors. A woman who never stopped knowing how to find the entrance.✦

A love story becomes a mystery. A mystery becomes a reckoning. Two books. One thread. The thread, when pulled, unravels everything.

"More Than a Crush" is an emotionally intense, dark romance about heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that grows from pain. The story begins with a boy in his final year of school, still trapped in a dying relationship. He knows his girlfriend is cheating-worse, with his best friend-but he clings to the hope that something might still be saved. On August 12th, everything starts to shift. That's the day Sam walks into his life. Quiet, intriguing, and unaware of the storm brewing around her, she catches his attention without even trying. As his world collapses around him-his girlfriend finally confessing to betrayal, and his best friend playing a double game-he begins to spiral. But in the wreckage, Sam becomes his anchor. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes comfort. Her presence is soft but powerful, her words healing and full of life. She talks about love like it's something sacred, something worth believing in again. Through late-night conversations and small moments, Sam slowly teaches him how to trust again. Their connection deepens into something more-but not without struggle. The boy wrestles with his past, his fears, and the darkness that betrayal left behind. Sam has her own walls too, her own quiet pain. But together, they begin to rewrite what love means. As the months pass, what began as an escape turns into a bond neither of them expected. Their love becomes raw, real, and unshakable-a slow burn that erupts into something beautiful. In the end, they don't just fall for each other-they fall into each other, deeply and completely.

Before love, there was a stare. Before the war, there was a girl. And before she ever knew his name... he had already marked her as his. 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.

Two empires. Two dynasties. Two names that ruled the business world like untouchable monarchs-The Malhotras and The Oberois. For decades, they weren't just allies, they were family in every sense but blood. Wealth, power, influence-they shared it all. And when the time came, they sealed their bond with something stronger than a handshake. A marriage. Reyansh Malhotra, the eldest son, the ruthless CEO feared by rivals and revered by millions. A man carved of stone, whose heart was as cold as his empire. He believed in power, in loyalty, in blood ties-but not in love. Love was weakness, and weakness was something he had never allowed in his world. And then there was Ruhi Oberoi, the Oberoi's eldest daughter. An author with ink-stained dreams, with a heart too tender for a world so cruel. Sweet and kind, gentle yet resilient, she loved deeply, with the kind of devotion that terrified men like him. She grew up believing in love stories, never realizing she was walking into one far more dangerous than she ever wrote. She adored him from the beginning. Her heart recognized him long before his did. But Reyansh-he resisted, fought, denied. To him, she was light he didn't want, warmth he couldn't accept. He caged his emotions, even as her presence burned through his darkness. And when he finally surrendered-when he finally realized the truth that had been waiting all along-it was too late. Or maybe, just late enough for fate to test them. Two opposites bound by a promise they didn't choose. She, the sunshine who softened even his sharpest edges. He, the storm who would burn the world if anyone dared touch her. Together, they discovered that love doesn't come before vows-it blooms after them, fiercer, wilder, unstoppable. This wasn't the love story she wrote about. This was the love story she lived. And against all odds- It would be their forever.
