**REPRESSED SECRETS SERIES #1** *Who is the man who haunts her dreams? His presence feels so real, so inescapable-as though he's been waiting for her. She's never seen his face, but he knows her. He's always known her. And somewhere in the shadows, someone is ensuring she never discovers the truth.* ---- **ANSHITA KAPUR** has spent her life chasing the unexplained, unraveling mysteries of the paranormal. But her own past is a void she's never dared to explore. Estranged from her family, she prefers the solitude of her work. That all changes when she decides to visit her late mother's hometown, Jaipur. What should have been a simple visit turns into a descent into something far darker. Whispers from the past, haunting visions, and secrets buried deep in her lineage begin to surface-pulling her into a world where the line between life and death is dangerously thin. ----- **VISHAL ARORA** is a renowned psychiatrist, a man of logic and science, but his life is anything but ordinary. Beneath the surface of his charming, composed demeanor lies a soul tormented by shadows. He's a man of many secrets-secrets that tether him to her in ways he cannot escape. Drawn to her against his better judgment, he is both her savior and her curse. ---- As their paths intertwine, Anshita and Vishal find themselves trapped in a web of dark forces and forbidden truths. The closer they get to each other, the more their lives unravel-haunted by a connection neither can explain and a love that feels both predestined and cursed. What lies in the darkness between them? And will the secrets they uncover destroy them-or bring them together in a way neither could have imagined? ---

He hates how much he wants her....she hates how good it feels to belong to him. *Reyansh Singhania - A figure of contradiction. An enigma wrapped in a mystery. With the name meaning "ray of light," his behavior is quite the opposite. He is a man of power and influence, a ruthless mafia king who holds the strings of the country's government in the palm of his hand, a man who moves in the shadows, shrouded in secrecy and danger. His presence is felt throughout the land, his face a mystery to all but those closest to him. He is the epitome of ruthlessness, his reputation for heartless brutality and merciless killing well-known to all who dare to cross his path. Yet, despite his fearsome reputation, Reyansh is also a man of great wealth and power. *Amaira Malhotra - (The one who will be beautiful forever) is a vision of ethereal beauty, a woman whose looks are so striking that they seem almost unreal. Her face is a masterpiece, with delicate features and sparkling eyes that seem to hold a hint of mischief just beneath the surface. But what sets her apart from others is not just her physical beauty, but also her kind heart and pure soul. Despite her stunning looks, Amaira radiates a warmth and grace that is completely natural to her. Her personality is a paradox, a mix of sweetness and sass, with a hint of stubbornness that surfaces at unexpected moments. He's cold, cruel - but only with his words. His hands? Always soft when they touch her. Late nights with them sleeping back to back... until one night she wakes up with his hand gripping her waist. Slow burns, stolen touches... both of them pretending it means nothing while their bodies scream for more.
