I invite You to the world of Deb Storm and Kader Gökyüzü, two broken-hearted souls who had gone through life guarding their broken pieces, all the while hoping to find someone who would mend those pieces together. This story takes place in the beautiful land of Turkey. It begins and ends in the magnificent city of Istanbul...

What lays in the past of a person cannot be changed. It cannot be altered. It cannot be persuaded to disappear into nonexistence. Nor should it. The past is as much a part of a person as the future that is yet to be laid out ahead of them. It is in the days that live in the memory of a person that enable the person to decide who they are and who they still have a chance to become. 

Deb Storm was a perfect example of that...

Hesitant at first, Deb agrees to travel to Cappadoccia with one reluctant yet mysterious travel companion, who soon opens her heart to Turkey's culture, its history, and so much more. All because she chose to honor her lifelong dream to one day stand on the breathtaking isle of Maiden's Tower.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mary Bloyd, @MonicaRita1943 , without whom this story would not have reached its destined spot on paper.

And, to the lady that inspired each and every word of this tale, Çok seni seviyorum❤️.

When The Heart Lies | ✓ by Iamnikki1

#3 in General Fiction [17-08-2018] BOOK 2 OF THE HEARTS SERIES. THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES IS RECOMMENDED AS IT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE SECOND ONE BETTER. _______ "Time has brought me ahead and left you behind. There's so much distance to cover. So much that you'll never reach my heart again. You are gone." Shaking of his head shook her wall. His slow footsteps pounded in her heart. "I will claw your heart, tear it to get inside again," his breath fanned her cheek. Calm tone haunted her soul. "But it won't come to that when I am already there in your stubborn heart." Tears hung at those thick lashes. "My heart doesn't want you. Not anymore." "Your heart lies." His finger slid down her neck. A sinister smile made those tears fall, "And when the heart lies," the finger replaced by a strong fist held the back of her neck. His lips reached barely inches away from hers. "There are consequences." ______ AN INDIAN LOVE STORY

Ada Sharma is a brave fearless girl who has accepted her father's abuse for years just to protect someone unknown whom she has never seen, but still believes he/she is alive. Vidyut Agarwal embodied vulnerability in real life. He believed that nothing is called love in this world, except lust. But she will force him to admit his emotions, proving him wrong.
