A new college, a new journey, Jiya Ved Rao crosses paths with Aditya Varma-charming, confident, and effortlessly magnetic.

For Aditya, Jiya is a mystery. A girl who shies away from the spotlight, yet possesses an undeniable spark beneath her silence. For Jiya, Aditya is everything she should stay away from-too popular, too unattainable, too dangerously easy to fall for.

But when fate keeps pushing them together, in stolen moments, teasing glances, and unspoken conversations, Jiya finds herself at war with emotions she never expected to feel. And Aditya? He starts leaning on her more than he realizes.

Sworn Lovers by ShaileyIsMyPenName

Maithili and Romil were the ultimate academic rivals-Head Girl vs. Head Boy, constantly at each other's throats. She hustled her way to the top; he coasted on privilege. But when Maithili snags the #1 spot, Romil's bruised ego triggers one reckless move that shatters her dreams and sends their lives spinning in opposite directions. Seven years later, Maithili's stuck in a life she never wanted, and Romil's back, drowning in guilt and desperate to fix what he broke. But redemption isn't just about apologies-it's about proving he's changed and that their story isn't over yet. This isn't just a love story. It's about chasing dreams, building yourself up from nothing, and finding second chances in the unlikeliest of places. If you're into messy drama, ex-rivals-turned-lovers, and big emotional payoffs, this one's for you. **Disclaimer: This story explores mature themes, including domestic abuse and occasional intimate scenes.

Unscripted Love by MsLizzieWrites

||~ He was born to escape. She was born to understand. Somewhere between silence and stardust, they found each other ~|| Shriya lives in the shadow of fame - her father's legacy, her mother's intellect, the chaos they called love. She's never envied it. Only wondered if something calmer, steadier, could ever be hers. Lakshya built his world in fantasy, scripting action and drama while forgetting how to speak his own truth. Emotions never made sense to him until Shriya, with her delicate strength and curious soul, asks him to collaborate. She's the thinker. He's the doer. But when passion sparks, it threatens to burn through every carefully placed boundary. Between the reels and the rewrites, they make each other feel. This is not a love story. It's a story of two people trying to learn love.
