[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

*VEERANSH SINGH OBEROI* Meet VEERANSH, a 26-year-old powerhouse who's already built a business empire so big it should have its own anthem. A lawyer by profession and a hustler by nature, he's the guy who could probably out-argue a vending machine and walk away with free snacks. As for love? Let's just say he's more interested in spreadsheets than soulmates. While others are busy catching feelings, he's out here catching flights, deals, and probably a few jealous stares. AASHI BHARDWAJ Meet Aashi Bhardwaj, a 20-year-old law student from Delhi but living in Bengaluru who's less *"Objection, your honor"* and more *"Can I just vibe through this semester?"* She's thick, gorgeous, and rocking her curves like they're a legal requirement. Her love life? A full-on courtroom drama, except the only thing showing up is bad luck and it's winning every case. Aashi is the life of the party, an extrovert who could befriend a statue if given the chance. She's always the first to plan group hangouts and the last to realize her "friends" ghosted her (again). Academically, she's cruising at an *average but trying* level, mostly fueled by chai breaks and the occasional midnight pep talk to herself. What happens when Aashi and Veeransh are forced into an alliance neither wants? A whirlwind of tension, mind games, and silent power struggles. One's a storm of unpredictability; the other, a master of control. Their every interaction is a battle of wills, where every word feels like a weapon, and every silence, a trap. READ TO FIND OUT!

I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat.

"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss. The road to love for Mila and Mitchell wasn't easy, but they finally reached their destination after many bumps along the way.
