"The way you are getting worked up over this . . ." he murmured, his voice low and gaze intense, "is making me think thoughts that I should not be thinking."
***
When a man with a dark past and wounded visage to match arrives in the small town of Glendale, it sets the once peaceful place on edge. No one knows how he came to look like he did, and no one dares to get close to find out.
All except for one widow, who will discover that their lives are more entwined than either of them ever thought possible.

Somewhere We Belong (BL)
Rohan thought escaping to IIM Ahmedabad would erase his past - the love he lost, the family who abandoned him, and the guilt he can't shake. He builds walls around himself, determined to start over, until Aarav crashes into his life like a storm he never saw coming. Aarav is everything Rohan isn't: fearless, unapologetically himself, and impossible to ignore. What starts as an uneasy friendship turns into something much deeper - something Rohan can't admit he wants. But when buried secrets resurface and the past collides with the present, Rohan is forced to face the truth he's been running from. Because love isn't always simple, forgiveness isn't always easy, and sometimes, finding where you belong means letting go of everything you thought you needed.

She Chose Herself

Until he started looking at her like she mattered. What began as stolen glances grew into a love that broke the rules and broke someone's heart. Elia thought she had won, but when Aiden's lies finally came to light, everything she believed in shattered. Now, in the wreckage of what used to be love, Elia is left with the hardest question of all. Was he ever worth losing herself for? This is not just a love story. It is a story of betrayal, regret, and the slow, quiet work of healing. A story of learning to walk away, not to chase someone else, but to finally return to herself.

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
