She's barely keeping it together. He's got his life under control-at least, that's what he tells himself. Together? They're like a fire and a fire extinguisher-completely incompatible.
Aisha Patel didn't exactly leave India for a quiet life in a small American town. She came for a fresh start, but being a people pleaser has a way of messing with your vibe, especially when you're trying to juggle a demanding nurse job, a noisy neighbour, and a firefighter with a big ego and an even bigger commitment phobia.
Justin Callahan? Yeah, he's the guy who thinks he's got life figured out. Volunteer firefighter, keeps things casual, definitely allergic to anything resembling a relationship. He's also lowkey obsessed with making fun of how Aisha says "chutney"-which is probably the one thing she hasn't been able to let slide.
When their paths cross in the worst way possibhello, car park disaster-these two are basically a walking, talking disaster zone. trying to keep it professional and chill. He's trying to act like he doesn't want to set her hair on fire (in the best way, of course).
But after a little too much banter, some unexpected moments of vulnerability, and a whole lot of chaos, they might just discover that there's more to each other than meets the eye. Can they get through the baggage and find something real? Or will this be just another spark that fizzles out before it even gets started?
Either way, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

THE FEELINGS WE NEVER PLANNED
[This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. You don't have to read that book fully, it can be read as a standalone, but please take a look at the Authors note first.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?

Code name: Ishq
*When duty collides with destiny, and protocol meets passion* --- What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In the treacherous terrain where military precision clashes with medical compassion, Major Mayank Kashyap and Dr. Yamini Singh are about to find out. **She saves lives. He takes them. Both are excellent at their jobs.** Dr. Yamini Singh doesn't believe in following orders, especially when they conflict with her Hippocratic oath. Emergency medicine is her battlefield, and she's never met a protocol she couldn't bend in service of saving lives. Reckless? Perhaps. Effective? Undeniably. Major Mayank Kashyap lives by a different code entirely. Special forces, counter-terrorism, and a mysterious double life that requires him to vanish for thirty days every quarter. His world runs on discipline, hierarchy, and secrets buried so deep that even his closest friends don't know the whole truth. When an earthquake throws them together in the rubble of disaster, their first meeting ends with him physically restraining her and her questioning his authority. Professional courtesy? Not exactly. Mutual respect? Hardly. Yet somehow, beneath the antagonism, something dangerous begins to grow. One drunken confession. One impossible promise. One word written on a palm that changes everything. From earthquake zones to terrorist attacks, from military bases to hospital corridors, from family secrets to battlefields: their story unfolds across a landscape where personal becomes political, where protection becomes persecution, and where the line between salvation and destruction is razor-thin. *Code Name: Ishq* is more than a romance: it's an exploration of what happens when two people perfect at their jobs discover that their most challenging mission might be learning to love each other. It's about the weight of secrets, the cost of duty, and the courage required to choose vulnerability in a world that rewards armor.Complete
