A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.

He had already decided-thirty days, a signature, and they'd go back to being strangers. No attachments. No emotions. Just a deal. But somewhere in between, the lines blurred. Somewhere in between, a home was built, a love so quiet yet so consuming took root in places they never dared to look. And when the contract ended, they walked away-pretending none of it had ever meant anything. Yet, some feelings never fade, some stories refuse to be forgotten, and some hearts find their way back-no matter how much time or distance tries to pull them apart.

Secrets Hidden In Time (Time #1 Book#1) (✓ )
| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book One of The 'Secrets Duology' | *** The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma. That's what Hinduja Rao always thought. But, quite similar to her thoughts about her own self, was someone else around her. Her newly wedded husband, the sovereign of the Dogra Empire, Mahadevan Dogra. A man who possessed the might to guard even shadows. To the people who knew, theirs was a simple marriage. But was it really? Together, they stand in the murky twilight, enshrouded by a dense layer of fog, with their toddler securely tucked within their protective hold. But, once the fog sheds, they must hunt for a coin, a coin of two sides, embossing realities that are enough to destroy everything they have steadily built around themselves. The twist? Mahadevan knows what his side of the coin has to say, Hinduja doesn't. Moreover, is everything exactly as it appears to be? Or, all along, what awaits at the end is, in fact, an illusion indeed. *** Note - With all intents and purposes, Secrets Hidden In Time is a slow-burn e-novel in terms of romance, mystery, and the psychological thriller quotient of it. Kindly be patient.Complete
