He plays by instinct. She lives by facts.
He leads the Indian Cricket Team. She asks the toughest questions.
And neither of them backs down.
When Shreya Shah lands her first big assignment-covering the Indian men's cricket team-she knows it's her shot to prove herself in a male-dominated world. She's prepared for the late nights, the pressure, the politics. But she's not prepared for Aryan Dev-the famously silent, fiercely private captain whose calm exterior hides more than just strategy.
Their first encounter is cordial.
Their second? A clash.
And the third? She is annoying by his sheer audacity to not lose him calm, despite being borderline provoked and hence, for her, the third encounter was a battlefield.
Fire to flame.
This isn't just a love story.
It's a game of heart.
And the scoreboard is just getting started.

When an Arranged Marriage Feels Right || Shreyas Iyer
This is the story of Shreyas Iyer and Inaya Pillai, two people from entirely different worlds, brought together by fate and family. Shreyas Iyer, once a cricket sensation, now finds himself in a slump, dropped from the national team, haunted by recent failures, and nursing the wounds of a painful breakup. With his career on shaky ground and his heart still healing, the last thing he wants is to think about marriage. Inaya Pillai, on the other hand, is the fierce and driven CEO of a successful software company, LyraSoft. Focused on her career and not one to be tied down by tradition, she has no interest in arranged matches or settling down. But destiny has its own plans. Forced into an arranged marriage by their families, Shreyas to regain stability, Inaya to fulfill an old promise, the two reluctant partners must navigate the clash between expectations and personal desires. Neither of them is ready. Both are running from the idea of marriage. Yet, sometimes, the paths we try to escape from are the ones that lead us exactly where we're meant to be. Read on to discover what happens when two stubborn hearts, thrown together by circumstance, begin to challenge everything they thought they knew about love, life, and second chances. *DISCLAIMER* This book is a work of pure fiction. While the male lead, Shreyas Iyer, is inspired by the well-known cricketer, the female lead, Inaya Pillai, is entirely a fictional character created for the purpose of this story. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, beyond the male lead is purely coincidental. Cover design credit goes to ChatGPT.Complete

Off the Record
A cricketer, a influncer cum journalist, and a misunderstanding so dumb it deserves its own press conference. Aviranya Carlisle's biggest crime? Saying she was sick of seeing Shubman Gill's airport looks in the news. Apparently, that was enough for Mr. Overreact to unfollow her, ignore her existence, and hold a grudge for months. Fast forward to few months-Avi's runs into him again and he's acting like she personally insulted his entire cricketing career. So, obviously, she calls him out. "Oye, Gill, tujhe problem kya hai?" "Mujhse zyada kisi aur ko problem thi, I think." "Gill, stop being cryptic before I actually throw my drink at you." "I heard you in Mumbai, okay?" "Heard what? That I was tired of your airport headlines?" And just like that-BOOM-entertainment for the entire Indian team. Virat's invested. I shan's ready to roast. And Shubman? He's realizing he's been holding a grudge over absolutely nothing. An unfollow, a confrontation, and now... a follow-back. But if the team has anything to say about it (and they definitely do), things are just getting started. This is my first book so please be a little patient and understanding with me.Complete

He wasn't the kind of man you overlooked in a crowd. Abhishek Sharma. Every girl's dream, every headline's favorite name. A cricketer who didn't just play the game, he owned it. Charismatic, arrogant in the way only the truly gifted can be, and so devastatingly handsome it felt unfair. He was chaos, desire, and narcissism wrapped in the shape of a boy who had the world at his feet. But beneath the easy smirk and the untamed confidence, he carried something rarer, a love that could burn the whole world down if it had to. And then there was her. Naintara Rajvansh. A princess not made of glass, but of steel. Bound by royal traditions, yet born with rebellion stitched into her veins. Sweet when it suited her, cunning when it didn't. Sharp-witted, manipulative, and breathtakingly graceful, she was every contradiction wrapped into one. The world saw her as untouchable, but she knew exactly how to bend the rules in her favor. Two worlds, one bathed in spotlight, the other cloaked in legacy. Two souls, one reckless, the other calculating. Both unstoppable in their own ways. They weren't meant to meet. And yet, when they did, it wasn't gentle. It was Shiddhat, unyielding, consuming, inevitable.
