What could be a better backdrop to a tale of love than a festival of colors?
/Holi, also known as the "festival of colours", is a Hindu spring festival celebrated all across India and Nepal and among Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan [as well as in countries with large Indian subcontinent diaspora populations.]
It signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken [relationships. It lasts for a night and a day,] starting on the evening of the [Purnima, which falls] somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

A Yellow Rose
■■ "Isn't it ironic how we kill flowers because we think that they're beautiful?" He asked, while I took hold of a yellow rose in my hand. I chuckled at him before answering, "Isn't it ironic that my name is Ayushi?" He rolled his eyes before an annoyed look found a way to his face. "Perhaps the reason people are drawn to flowers is not only because of their outer beauty, but because they remind you beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting." I said, smiling down at the beautiful flower in my hand. "But why a yellow rose?" He questioned further. "Yellow rose means remembrance." ■■Complete

Embrace the Snow (Expanded Version)
Nila is astute, multilingual and far too perceptive for a Gupta maid. She once saved Mihirana's life. Now the ruthless Hun warlord repays that "debt" the only way he knows how - by abducting her. Torn from the colours, etiquette and sophistication of the Gupta court, Nila is dragged into his frozen steppes of war, conquest, and endless white. Mihirana calls it protection. But the truth is far more dangerous. He's obsessed. He doesn't try to break her- he studies her, challenges her, learns her... waging a slow, deliberate conquest of her mind with incisive probing, forbidden poetry in a foreign language and moments that blur the line between captivity and choice. Nila refuses to be conquered. She observes. She schemes. She quietly gathers secrets that could destroy him and save her people. Only for her own resistance becomes a battlefield of its own. Her body wars with her own mind. She is not supposed to desire him but she is, she is supposed to hate him but she can't. Because this man - this Enemy awakens something fierce, primal and irresistible within her. A raging fire that not even his icy world can extinguish. She hates what he is. She fights what she feels. But his possessive touch? His quiet claim? They break apart her defences, piece by piece He will never beg for her love. She will never admit he's winning it. And yet... the closer she gets to freedom- the more surrender begins to feel irresistible.

Her Replaced Husband ✓
Ever wonder, what if you get married to your fiance's twin brother? "I got wet in the rain but you get the fever instead. Is it like those cheesy romantic novels in which the wife gets bruised after the husband gets beaten? Or did you also enjoy the rain by getting wet in it?" He said. "I did. I like the rain," she murmured, showing eyes to him. "And I like the sunshine after it. The cute, angry, and gorgeous sunshine," he said, sitting beside her on the bed. "I don't know who made you a doctor. You should have been in an institute teaching everyone how to flirt with girls," she snarled at which he laughed loudly. "I am just flirting with my girl, mind it," he whispered sensually shifting his hand from her forehead to her cheek and gently caressing it. "Have you ever tried to break your boundaries, sunshine? Yearned to do something which you have forbidden on yourself. Hmm?" He asked. "Sunshine?" Yes?" She unknowingly replied. This guy was making her crazy and she despite trying her best was falling for him more and more. He snickered. So she was finally accepting the name he gave her. "You are very beautiful," he said, truthfully.Complete
