Riya Sharma, a bright young woman with dreams tucked behind her smile, finds herself at the center of an arranged marriage she never saw coming-but doesn't shy away from. When her family rekindles old bonds with the Malhotras, a proposal is made, and Riya is soon engaged to Aarav Malhotra-the quiet, composed architect who rarely shows what's on his mind.
From engagement to marriage, Riya steps into this new chapter hand in hand with Aarav, even if they begin as strangers. Through gentle gestures, teasing banter, shared glances, and family chaos, the two slowly carve out a space for each other-turning awkward silences into laughter, unfamiliarity into comfort, and duty into devotion.
"Love, Slowly" is a soft romantic comedy that captures the beauty of growing love-where soulmates aren't born, but built, moment by moment. It's a celebration of arranged marriage, pure love, and the quiet magic of two people falling for each other in all the little ways that matter.

My Surgeon Wife
Sanjay Malhotra is everything a girl's parents dream of-young, rich, powerful, and impeccably mannered. As the chairman of the multi-billion-dollar Malhotra Group, he lives in a world of numbers, boardrooms, and luxury-far from love, feelings, or family warmth. A man of few words, and even fewer smiles. Dr. Ria Sharma, on the other hand, is Mumbai's rising neurosurgeon-brilliant, bold, and kind-hearted. Her world is filled with patients, night shifts, and chai breaks with her middle-class yet loving family. They meet for the first time through an arranged proposal-two strangers from different worlds, bound together by tradition. Marriage wasn't their dream. But understanding, companionship, and something deeper... slowly begins to bloom. A feel-good, slow-paced love story of two people who learn to trust, open up, and fall in love-after marriage. Because sometimes, strangers can become soulmates-if the heart is patient enough.

Wed To The Warden
Genre: Arranged Marriage Romance | Drama | Slow Burn | Enemies to Lovers When sweet, small-town schoolteacher Naina Mathur is unexpectedly proposed to by none other than Ryan Malhotra - Asia's most feared, ruthless business tycoon - her world flips upside down. Shy, soft-hearted, and deeply rooted in her modest life, Naina never dreamed she'd be swept into the glittering chaos of the ultra-rich. And certainly not into the arms of a man who barely speaks, never smiles, and carries secrets colder than his steel gaze. Ryan Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He doesn't trust softness. But when family duty and business align, he agrees to an arranged marriage with the one woman who doesn't fear his name - just the world he lives in. What starts as a strategic alliance slowly sparks with unexpected emotions, clashing ideals, and dangerous attraction. As wedding functions unfold in royal palaces and under the unforgiving eye of the media, Naina and Ryan are forced to confront their buried pasts, internal fears, and growing desire. From awkward first meetings, protective touches, jealousy, and lingering glances - to the playful meddling of cousins and the scars that shaped them both - they begin to discover that love isn't always born from choice. Sometimes, it's destiny's most powerful storm. Two strangers. One arrangement. And a love neither saw coming. 🔑 Primary Keywords Arranged marriage romance Billionaire romance South Asian romance Indian royal romance Opposites attract Tycoon love story Teacher x CEO romance Rich boy poor girl romance Emotional slow burn romance Enemies to lovers Forced proximity romance Palace wedding romance Protective male lead Innocent girl love story Cultural romance fiction Family drama romance Fictional Indian romanceComplete

HIDDEN AFFECTION (Paused)
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. 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.
