Beneath the Same Moon by thelunaris_

Eva's life looks ordinary from the outside-a loving family, a promising future, a house that never stops buzzing with chatter. But beneath the surface, silence runs deep. A silence filled with nightmares, unspoken words, and the weight of expectations she can't carry anymore. When the pressure at home becomes unbearable, Eva hides behind books, music, and the only constant in her life-the moon. It never asks questions. It never leaves. But everything begins to shift when love and loss collide in ways she never expected. Between broken promises, family scars, and the desperate search for belonging, Eva must decide if she can learn to live for herself-before the silence swallows her whole. Because even in the darkest nights, two souls can still find each other. Always beneath the same moon.

A love worth the risk by Authortia_

𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐲𝐚 × 𝐕𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 | 𝟐𝟑 × 𝟑𝟏 At twenty-three, Anaya D'Souza already has more responsibilities than most-her career, her dreams, and a three-year-old son she chose to adopt when the world thought she was too young to handle it. She only wanted a stable job. What she got was Vihaan Malik-her new boss, a CEO with too many rules, zero patience, and absolutely no idea how to handle a PA who comes with a toddler. She's chaos with a smile. He's control in a suit. And somehow, they're stuck in each other's lives. Between boardroom deadlines, playground tantrums, and the strange way his guarded eyes soften around her son... Anaya begins to wonder if her biggest risk might just be the only love worth taking.
