Enemies in January
(Twelve Months of Us - Book 1)
Jaipur just got colder... and it has nothing to do with the weather.
Tara Mehra is loud, messy, and full of heart. Aarav Malhotra is cold, calculated, and allergic to chaos-which is exactly what follows when they're forced to co-organize a glamorous New Year's charity event in Jaipur, sparks fly-and not the cute kind. The "I'll set your Excel sheet on fire" kind.
Their families are practically joint at the hip, but Tara and Aarav? They've been sworn enemies since The Great Holi War of 2018.
But when venue disasters, late-night planning sessions, and a very viral dance rehearsal start blurring the lines between hate and something hotter, they both have to decide-was it always hate, or was it just tension waiting to explode?
It was supposed to be a one-month truce.
They didn't plan on falling in lust.
And they definitely didn't plan on falling in love.
Enemies. Rivals. Fire and ice.
This January, Jaipur's most chaotic duo is about to discover that falling in love might be the most dramatic event of the year.

Katha : His first love
Nahi sambhla dil mere sambhale Ise kar daala tere hawale Tu mita de ya chahe bacha le Jaa ishq pe mere chala le apni marziyan ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ It was Katha Desai's first day at her new job. She knew it would be difficult - new faces, new responsibilities, no family name to fall back on. But difficult? No. It was a tragedy. Because fate, in its full cruel glory, had other plans for her. Why? Because she met him. Her childhood frenemy. The boy who once made it his life's mission to get on her nerves, like irritating her was a full-time job. They argued like cats and dogs, drove each other crazy, but when life threw problems their way, neither ever hesitated to help the other. They cared - they just never admitted it. And now... here they were. Under the same roof. In the same office. With the same old rivalry simmering between them. But this time, there was a twist. He wasn't just any colleague. He was her boss. Reyansh Gupta. CEO. The man everyone feared to question. Known for his mood swings, his sharp tongue, and his impossible standards. No secretary lasted more than a month under him - his grumpy face and cold attitude scared them away. But Katha wasn't the type to run. She had handled his drama before - as kids. Now, it was time to handle him again - as his secretary. The only question was... would their old hate finally turn into something else? Could they survive working together... without driving each other insane?
His Angel
"I can't believe you forgot to schedule that meeting, Raj!" he shouted into the phone, his voice cutting through the peaceful atmosphere. "This is the second time! If you can't handle your job, maybe I should find someone who can!" His words were harsh, each syllable dripped with irritation. His personal assistant stammered an apology, but Aarav was too enraged to listen. "You're fir-" he began, ready to fire him, but then the soft chime of Siya's payal reached his ears, cutting through his anger. It was a gentle sound, unlike the chaos of his work life, and it drew his attention away from the call. *************************************** Aarav Singh Rathore is a powerful 28-year-old CEO and ruler of Rajasthan. Known for being cold, rude, and quick to anger, Aarav is feared by everyone around him. He controls everything in his world, always protecting his family and making sure no one dares to disobey him. Siya Rajput is a sweet and caring 21-year-old who studies English Literature. Despite losing her parents and being treated poorly by her uncle and aunt, Siya stays positive and kind. However, she sometimes feels overwhelmed by her emotions, especially anger. When Aarav and Siya's worlds come together, will Aarav's cold heart soften? Or will Siya's gentle nature be tested by the challenges she faces?Complete

She's unpredictable. And somewhere in between, love begins to bloom... quietly, unexpectedly. A slow-burn arranged marriage story where hate turns to love, and two opposites find their way-together. --- "He was calm like the sea, she was a storm-together, they found "She hated the idea of him-until she couldn't imagine life without him." ________________________________________________ "This isn't just a story of love-it's about how two mismatched souls slowly became each other's home."

And when he decides to marry her, it wasn't a proposal... It's a command. A marriage forced by his will. Protested by her fury.
