The last ordinary day

Arnav Singh Rajput had stopped believing in love the day his marriage shattered his world. Now, his life revolves around two things-his empire and his little son, Ayush. Emotions are a luxury he no longer allows himself. Paridhi Singhania had loved once-and lost everything. A widow holding onto her husband's last wish, she smiles through her pain, refusing to let her past break her. Love, for her, is a chapter that ended long ago. Two broken souls. Two different pasts. One unexpected bond. When destiny brings Arnav and Paridhi together, it isn't love that connects them, it's responsibility and a child who unknowingly becomes the thread tying their lives together. But somewhere between silent care, shared pain, and unspoken emotions, hearts begin to change. And when love comes knocking again. Will they answer it? Or will the past hold them back forever?

One thing one could say about Arthur Ashford is that no place had ever kept him long enough to become his home. So when he returns to London for his brother's funeral, he expects grief, awkward relatives, and a quick departure. Instead, he finds Kathe-the widow. She is composed. Elegant. Entirely too in control for a woman who has just buried her husband. Naturally, Arthur decides this is none of his concern. Unfortunately, he keeps noticing things. A leather agenda that makes no sense. A household that runs too smoothly. A widow who always seems to be exactly where she should be-no more, no less. And the more he looks, the worse it gets. Because suspicion is inconvenient. Attraction is worse. And Kathe is both. Arthur tells himself he is imagining things. The difficulty is that he has never been good at leaving things alone. 💫 Victorian Gothic mystery with a slow-burn romance 💫 Forbidden love 💫 Stron heroin 💫 Funny and witty CHAPTER BY CHAPTER

For eleven years, Shakira has lived between memory and responsibility-raising two sons, carrying the weight of loss, and convincing herself that moving forward was something other people did. Then a simple message changes everything. What begins as a hesitant conversation with Michael, a kind-hearted teacher carrying scars of his own, slowly becomes something neither of them expected: hope. But hope is dangerous. Because opening your heart means risking it. Because grief never truly leaves. Because love in midlife is not a fairy tale-it is messier, quieter, and infinitely more real. As autumn settles over their small town, Shakira must face a question she has avoided for years: after all she has lost, does she still have the courage to choose happiness?
