In the village where justice sleeps and shadows whisper, love becomes the most dangerous sentence.
Sreedevi, a sharp-minded and unyielding judge, is the final word in a courtroom that trembles before her gaze. Known for her unwavering commitment to justice, she is both feared and revered-untouchable in a world smeared with secrets.
But shadows have a memory.
Azrael, once a criminal with a bloodstained past, now wears the badge of a cop. For the world, he is a reformed man. For her, he is salvation dressed as a curse. Obsessed beyond reason, Azrael doesn't just love Sreedevi-he needs her. And he's willing to break every law, twist every truth, and bury every soul that stands between him and the woman who unknowingly owns him.
As the fog thickens around the village, bodies vanish, truths rot, and justice begins to bleed. Sreedevi must decide if the law she's sworn to uphold is enough to survive the storm of obsession closing in on her.
Because some verdicts are written in ink.
And some... in blood.

BOUND BY FATE
READ BOUND BY FIRE PART 1 OF THIS SERIES BFRE CONTINUING PLEASE!! She was never meant to be his. Yet from the moment Aarav Raichand laid eyes on her-fierce, untamed, heartbreakingly defiant..he knew. Knew she was his to protect, his to possess, his to destroy if it came to that. No matter how much blood it took, how many lies he had to weave, or how deeply he had to bury the truth behind his midnight sins-Abhira Aarav Raichand would belong to him. Even if she hated him for it. Even if the world turned against them. Even if fate itself demanded a price. Because obsession was not love. It was deeper. Darker. Unrelenting. And Aarav Raichand? He never let go. Not of what was his. Not of her. Especially not when destiny tried to rip her away. Because some love stories weren't written in stars... They were etched in blood. And bound by fate. Thousands of miles away, hidden beneath grey London skies, she lived in the shadows of what once was. Abhira Raichand-though no one called her that here-woke each morning with the ache of a name she could no longer speak. Her heart beat for a man who believed she was dead. A man who would burn the world to find her, if only he knew she still breathed. Every laugh from Krish held pieces of Aarav's fire. Every tear Parvati wiped away mirrored his tenderness. They didn't know the man who ruled their blood, the storm behind their existence. But Abhira saw him in them-every moment, every breath, every heartbeat. She waited. Not foolishly, but faithfully. Not for forgiveness. Not for absolution. But for him. Because even in silence, even through oceans, something in her still believed: Aarav Raichand would come for her. He had to. Because fate wasn't done with them yet. Not when their love had already rewritten destiny.Complete

His Untamed Bride
He is Mrityunjay Agnihotri - disciplined, precise, revered, a man who saves lives yet keeps his own heart locked behind walls of unyielding control. She is Eshanvi Talwar - fierce, untamed, relentless, a criminal lawyer whose pursuit of justice blurs the line between law and vengeance, morality and temptation, restraint and burning desire. When their worlds collide, sparks do more than ignite - they consume. In sacred temples where fire burns and shadows linger, in courtrooms where truths and lies intertwine, and in the spaces where passion defies all reason, their connection threatens to unravel everything. As time passed, he began to act in ways that contradicted every vow he had once made to himself. Every principle he had held, every promise he had whispered in the stillness of his own heart, seemed to crumble under the weight of desire. He became the very husband he had once loathed - relentless, consuming, insatiable. A hunger for her grew like a fire in his veins, gnawing at his soul, unrelenting, impossible to satisfy, as though every restraint he had ever known was meant to be broken in her name. And then, nothing in the world could soothe the ache within him - no triumph, no possession, no fleeting pleasure - save for that single, fleeting curve of her lips. Her smile, simple yet devastating, held the power to still the storm raging in his soul, to quiet the relentless hunger that nothing else could tame. In that moment, he realized that all his cravings, all his desires, all his unbridled obsession, found their only anchor in her - in the light of her smile. β An Indian Arranged Marriage Romance #Book 1 in the #His Bride Series (A standalone novel) β οΈ Mature Content: This book is rated for mature audiences due to dark romance, age-gap themes, and explicit content, including mentions of light BDSM.

SHADOW'S OF US
In the heart of a small, restless town where power whispers louder than love, two souls collide - not by fate, but by mistake. Aarohi, a strong-willed college student with a quiet fire in her eyes, believes love can still mend what the world has broken. Raghav, a young politician shaped by discipline and shadows, was never meant to believe in love at all. He was raised to command, not to feel - trained by a father who taught him strength through silence, loyalty through pain, and survival through control. When their worlds meet in the narrow streets of Suryapur's bustling market, a single glance changes everything. It isn't gentle, nor kind - it's dangerous, magnetic, and wrong in every possible way. Their story unfolds between power and vulnerability, politics and passion, silence and surrender. Raghav's love is quiet, unspoken - seen only in the way he watches, protects, and punishes himself for feeling at all. Aarohi becomes the only thing that unsettles his rigid order - the one risk he cannot reason away. But love in their world isn't simple. It's forbidden - tainted by family, ambition, and the choices that define them. As Raghav's control begins to crack and Aarohi's world starts to fall apart, they'll have to decide what matters more: duty, pride, or the dangerous pull between them. "Shadows of Us" is a dark, emotional tale of forbidden love - of two people bound by power, guilt, and the quiet ache of wanting what they can never fully have. A story where love is not soft - it's survival.
