ARRANGED FOR LOVE: A tale of a compelled bond

Book 2 of "𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐐 𝐀𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐀𝐇" series

"My job is to save people but for her I can kill one too."

Idhant. His name meant "luminous," a beacon of light, and he lived up to it effortlessly. His very presence brightened those around him. Compassionate and selfless, he chose a path that reflected his nature-a doctor, a healer, someone who mended not just bodies but spirits. But then came that night. The night that extinguished the fire within him. He became a shadow of the man he once was. The world that he had sought to care for had taken its toll on him. Now, he was a shell, hollowed out, clinging to his work because it was all he had left. All because of her.

Advika. Her name meant "unique, one of a kind," and she truly was-though she could never see it. The world had fed her lies, convincing her she wasn't enough, wasn't worthy. She was unique in ways even she didn't fully understand, ways that she used to shield herself. She became a master at hiding-the pain, the past, and the pieces of herself she didn't want anyone to see.

What happens when two souls, scarred by the cruelty of life, find each other? Will their shared pain pull them into darkness, or will their bond ignite a flame that banishes the shadows? When the luminous meets the unique, will they succumb to the weight of their pasts, or will they find a way to shine together, illuminating a path neither could see alone?
