❦ A Harley riding, vodka drinking, female killer, a Scottish bartender, a kindergarten teacher, several kids, and a huge Italian 'family', put them all in a bag and shake well.
Throw the contents onto paper and you end up with a book about broken spirits, revenge, boxing, and getting lost in the shadow of your mind.
And love. I am afraid my books will always be about love, no matter how things start. ❧

WOUNDED DESTINY (Editing)
Some love stories are written in the stars, destined to endure the tests of time. But what happens when love is replaced by betrayal? When the person who was once your home becomes the storm that shatters you? Aadvik Chauhan and Dr. Dhriti Sharma were once inseparable-two souls intertwined in a love so deep that nothing could tear them apart. Childhood sweethearts turned lovers, they had built their world together, dreaming of a future filled with love, laughter, and forever. But forever never came. Three years ago, Dhriti walked away. She left without a word, without a trace, shattering him into pieces. He searched for her, bled for her, but she was gone. And when he finally rebuilt himself, it was as a man far different from the one she had loved-a man of steel, ruthless and unforgiving. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When Dhriti returns, she isn't alone. She carries with her a truth that has the power to destroy Aadvik all over again-a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter he never knew existed. A daughter she kept from him. A daughter who should have been his world. Now, the past collides with the present, reopening old wounds and igniting a storm of rage, heartbreak, and longing. Aadvik, betrayed once again, vows not to let Dhriti shatter him this time. But Dhriti is no longer the woman who once left because she was scared-she's a mother willing to fight for her child, even if it means facing the man she still loves but once abandoned. Love, pain, revenge, and redemption-when two broken hearts clash, will they destroy each other, or will they find a way back? Some stories don't get second chances. But maybe, just maybe, theirs does. TROPES :- ~ GRRUMPY x SUNSHINE ~ SECOND CHANCE ~ SINGLE PARENT ~ TRAUMA/HEALING ~ LOVE TO HATE TO LOVE ~ SECRETS ~ CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS ~ FAMILY RIVALRY
