The Chosen Strangers
Arranged by family. Connected by silence. Changed by time.
When Taniya, a quiet dreamer with a broken sense of love, agrees to an arranged marriage to save her father's peace of mind, she expects nothing more than duty and distance. Rayan, still shadowed by a past love he never quite let go, doesn't expect anything either.
But life has other plans.
As two strangers are thrown into a life of shared space and subtle glances, their bond begins to shift-from awkward silence to late-night conversations, from unfamiliar touches to something dangerously close to love.
But can two people fall for each other... after the vows are already made?
A slow-burn, emotionally layered romance about letting go of the past, finding comfort in chaos, and discovering love in the most unexpected place-an arranged marriage.
