A romance set in India - a love story rooted in Desi culture, breaking silence and redefining devotion ✨

💫 From the bestselling author of Bride of the Future King
(Amazon India #1 Hot New Release - Time Travel Romance, Top 3 Kindle Bestseller)

In a land where tradition crushes dreams, eighteen-year-old Aarti is forced into an arranged marriage with Raghav, a brooding 35-year-old widower and heir to a powerful village dynasty.

Illiterate and underestimated, Aarti hides a fierce spirit and a desperate hope to break free. Raghav, weighed down by grief and duty, sees their marriage as a burden, not love.

But when Aarti dares to defy the rules that bind her, their forced union begins to kindle an unexpected and forbidden romance. Her quiet courage sparks a fire in Raghav's cold heart-a chance at love, healing, and redemption.

In a world where passion is forbidden and rebellion punished, can their fragile bond survive the very traditions that threaten to tear them apart?

Dil Ki Bandagi is a sweeping, passionate tale of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the courage to claim one's destiny.All Rights Reserved

Patience & Pheras by idkbutokbye

🌸 Introduction 1981. A time when a woman's silence was mistaken for obedience. And marriage was not always love but duty. Saanchi was married into a house where expectations spoke louder than affection. She was soft-spoken, gentle... and trying to survive in a world that had already decided who she should be. But Ravindra - her quiet, stoic husband - was nothing like the man she feared he'd be. He didn't speak much. But when he did... his words shattered walls. This is not a fairytale. This is a story of slow-burning trust, stolen glances, and a man who chose to stand with his wife, not above her. In an era where women were expected to adjust - he chose to understand. And that made all the difference.

Dusk & Destiny✨ by Hum0ur_me

I cradled him tenderly against my chest, his tears falling into the gentle folds of my kurta's neckline. "Nayan," I whispered. He only tightened his grasp on my waist, his silence speaking volumes. The thought of revealing my knowledge of his love, the woman who had long held my husband's heart, felt suffocating. But I remained silent, savoring the warmth of our first tender touch, our first embrace, as I held him to his vulnerability.
