❦ 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. ❧

Yours By Destiny
Their first meet? An accident. Their first date? An unplanned night out. Their first hug? A mere apology. Their first kiss? A silent confession. And finally... their love? Soft, soulful, yet intense enough to leave a forever mark on your heart. TANIRIKA, a 24-year-old carefree woman, never imagined that a single crossing of paths could change everything, until she met ATUL RAYANTH, a 28-year-old man who felt almost unreal, becoming her unexpected miracle. He is the gentle reality amid her endless delusions, and she is the calm in his every storm. Together, they are each other's home in the chaos of the world. What begins quietly soon turns into something deep, raw, and painfully beautiful, because love is not always a fairytale. When life tries to break him, she tries even harder to mend him, to hold him, to love him. But... what if fate decides that her love itself becomes the reason that separates him from her world permanently? Will she still be able to hold on to him even then?? Read 'YOURS BY DESTINY' to discover their true fate, because somewhere along their journey, you might just find the meaning of true love✨💙🖤 [This story is written in English, sprinkled with a little Tamil and Hindi in between, each line comes with a translation, so you can feel every emotion just the same] TROPES • Slow Burn Soft Romance • Mumbai × Chennai • Architect × Engineer • Strangers to Soulmates • He Fell First She Fell Harder • Destiny's Choice Fated Love • Happily Ever After

Areston thinks he can shield me from his past, but what he doesn't realize is I'm already part of it. The darkness that haunts him? It's the same one that's been chasing me for years. I've given him everything-my body, my heart, my soul-and still, it's not enough. He craves control, and needs to protect me, but I'm done playing the delicate wife. I'm done being kept in the dark while he fights battles that belong to both of us. He's mine, and I'll burn the world down to keep him just like he would do for me. But our secrets are dangerous. Our demons are circling, and if we're not careful, they'll tear us apart from the inside. We've been through hell together, but this is different. This time, it's not about surviving-it's about whether we can trust each other enough to fight for what we have. He's the love of my life, the man I'm addicted to, but in the end, will our love be enough to save us from ourselves? This explosive finale to The Scent Trilogy-where passion, obsession, and unrelenting loyalty collide, and no one walks away unscathed.
