Aadhya: The Phoenix Within
A sequel to Aadhya- The Phoenix's Fury (Previously known as "Aadhya- the life journey of a woman.") But you can read this as standalone too. Still, I suggest reading that before, to understand the second part easily. It only has 33 chapters in book-1 so, give it a read if time permits or else you can read this as standalone. Aadhya- The Phoenix Within (Previously known as Aadhya- and her journey towards love) Aadhya, the woman, who is broken from inside. Shourya, a man who is ready to fix Aadhya's broken heart. The story of a woman who hates men and the man who respects women. Aadhya never wanted to start a family again after what happened to her in the past. Shourya always wanted to start a family as soon as possible. Does this go any further when they two have different opinions on life? Will she ever accept his love and trust him even after so many betrayals? The story of a CEO and an assistant, but for a change here, the CEO is Aadhya, and the assistant is Shourya. Warning: this story contains sexual harassment, child abuse, usage of drugs, panic attacks, depression... Start date: 1st December 2023 End date: ongoingComplete

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

Then there is Toren. Mysterious, powerful, and patient, he offers her something Aelvan never could-control. He is temptation wrapped in shadows, and Nishka is drawn to him like a moth to flame. Torn between the man who hunts her and the one who would claim her, Nishka is caught in a web of passion, magic, and betrayal. But secrets don't stay buried. Desire is a weapon, and love is just another kind of ruin.Complete

Some souls are cursed to meet again... even if it breaks them every time. Aaranya never believed in past lives. Not until she stepped into a place no human should reach - a glowing chamber of memory and fire called the Soulforge, hidden between time and afterlife. There, she meets Aarav - calm, distant, devastatingly familiar - the Soulkeeper. He's not a god, not a ghost. He's something worse: a man who remembers every soul he's ever failed to save. And when he looks at her... he sees the girl he lost lifetimes ago - the girl who begged the heavens to take her instead. The one whose love he never earned - and whose death still haunts him like flame. But Aaranya doesn't remember. Not the promises. Not the pain. Not him. Yet something inside her stirs - a thread, trembling beneath her skin. And soon, echoes from her past lives begin slipping into her world - in dreams, in symbols, in her very reflection. Now, as fate pulls them together again, Aarav must decide: Will he let her soul awaken on its own... Or break every divine law to remind her of a love that once defied even death? Because this time, the gods are watching. And not all of them want her to remember. A story of soul-deep love, forgotten lifetimes, and the divine ache of meeting someone you've loved in every world but this one.
