Ishq Wala Love
For the girls who've said 'I don't need love'-and found it anyway. This book is for you.
Aadhya Mehra doesn't believe in love. Not after her heart was shattered by the one guy she thought would never lie-Ashwin Malhotra. Once college sweethearts, now strangers, their story ended with a betrayal that left them both bruised.
Years later, fate decides it's not quite done with them. A surprise encounter. A family-arranged rishta. And two exes who are suddenly expected to get married... to each other.
She's the sharp-tongued, high-heeled heir of Mehra Luxe Estates. He's the brooding CEO of Malhotra Enterprise. They want nothing to do with each other-but their families, and maybe the universe, have other plans.
From forced wedding shopping and awkward haldi moments to resurfacing feelings, steamy tension, and unfinished business, this shaadi might just rekindle the one thing they've both been pretending to forget.
This time, it's not a dare.
It's love.
Maybe.

Aarav Malhotra - the reserved and soft-spoken CEO of Malhotra Hotels - has always put family above everything else.

Sakshi Sharma - a gentle, kind-hearted primary school teacher - finds joy in the laughter of children and dreams of a simple life filled with love and understanding. When their families arrange their marriage, both are hesitant, bound more by duty than desire. But as shy glances turn into warm conversations and small gestures grow into affection, they begin to discover that maybe, just maybe, fate knows their hearts better than they do.
