Found Hearts by author_ish_08

When Aarohi Singh loses everything in her life, metaphorically and literally, she finds herself turning to nowhere but her bestfriends house for shelter. For a home. Buried deep within study loans, completing her MBA, and looking for a job, she needs to save the last of her last pennies to at least rent a house in New Delhi. But a job comes with a degree, and there are still six months left for that. The best friend is about to get married, and there's none house better than that of an upcoming wedding one to stay. She can keep her share of secrets, and still live there without having to explain what had went wrong in her life. For how long though is the question when your best friend's brother is not only someone who gets on your nerves, but also someone so beautiful that you can't resist as much as you try. Kabir Verma. Graphical engineer. Living a bachelor's life in Bangalore. A simple sorted guy. At least that's what he thought before meeting Aarohi when he arrived home prior three months for his sister's wedding. He had never thought, any one in the world could make your world of emotions as upside down, as Aarohi did his. And he hated every ounce of it. That's what he told himself anyways, until he had figured out, that he can't keep away from her, and she can't resist him for long. But how long could such a forbidden attraction continue, especially in India. Especially when she's your sister's best friend. Especially when it turns into love. Amidst the celebration of an upcoming wedding, feelings get lost, emotions whirl around, romance turns forbidden, and hearts are found.

Reflections of a Future Past by Miu-miii

What if your past walked in before it could abandon you? Nineteen-year-old Rina has made peace with the ghosts in her life. Mostly. Her parents vanished when she was a baby. She grew up with questions, a therapist, and a mirror that flickers when no one's looking. Then two teenagers fall out of it. They're from 2023. They built a prototype. It went wrong. Now they're stuck in the future - in her apartment - and somehow, impossibly, they're her parents. Mira and Nico aren't ready to raise a child. Rina's not ready to face the people who never stayed. But time doesn't care about readiness. As reality bends and the mirror starts to flicker again, they're all faced with a question none of them know how to answer: Can you rewrite the future by understanding the past - or will knowing each other break them all over again?

"The Edge of Quiet"🌒 by penbyannie

Genre: Dark Academia | Psychological ✦ Thriller | Coming-of-Age | Mystery | Slow Burn Romance Tagline: This isn't a school. It's a mirror-and some of us aren't ready to see what we are. They said it was just a school. But then the walls began to whisper. Seventeen-year-old Elara Syed never wanted attention. A scholarship kid with a quiet voice and observant eyes, she enters St. Edevane's Boarding Institute expecting strict rules, elitist classmates, and endless exams. What she doesn't expect is silence so thick it hums in her bones. From the moment she steps past the ivy-covered gates, something feels off. Whispers slip beneath dorm room doors. Footsteps echo down hallways that lead nowhere. There are rules-but none of them are written. And those who question too loudly? They vanish. Elara's only plan is to survive, blend in, and get out. But when she finds a red thread tied to her locker and a page from a missing girl's journal, she knows it's already too late for that. Then there's Aaran Halbrook, the school's golden boy with perfect grades and dead eyes. He's always surrounded by people but never truly with them. He watches her. Not with cruelty-but with recognition. Like he's seen someone like her before. Like he knows she shouldn't be here either. When Elara finds a matchbook with a symbol, opens a hidden door in the library, and wakes up with dirt under her fingernails after dreaming of a forbidden floor-she realizes this school isn't what it seems. It never was. ⸻ ✧ 𝘈 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥. But what if the gift is surviving trauma? ✧ 𝘈 𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴. But what if the shadows are watching? ✧ 𝘈 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Psychological Fiction Books - TASTE ME SERIES by DamienWByrnes2020

The Broken Mirror A novel Damien W. Byrnes Prologue: The Shattered Reflection The sky, if that's what it could still be called, looked like torn paper-veins of sickly purple bleeding into black. Mira blinked. The world around her shifted, unfocused, like an old photograph dissolving in water. She had no idea how she ended up here or where "here" even was. She felt as though she had been dropped into a nightmare she couldn't wake from, where time crawled like a wounded animal. Her reflection in the cracked glass before her didn't feel right. The face was hers, but not hers. The eyes looked haunted, like something had gnawed at her soul and left only fragments behind. And as the world around her crumbled, so did she. --- Copyright 2024 Damien W. Byrnes All rights reserved.

Twisted Legacy by bookbuster7

He chose her from the shadows. Now, she must survive the spotlight. Aarohi Mehra was raised to stay quiet, to obey, to never step into the line of fire that came with power and legacy. She was just another name in a forgotten proposal-until Rishab Rathore, heir to the Rathore empire, handpicked her as his bride. His decision wasn't about love-it was about control, revenge, and the perfect pawn in a decades-old family feud. Thrust into a gilded cage where every move is watched and every silence is expected, Aarohi must learn to survive a world built on manipulation and secrets. But as the walls close in and the man she married reveals both cruelty and vulnerability, Aarohi begins to question everything-including herself. In a marriage where love is a lie and rebellion could cost her everything, Aarohi must decide: stay silent and fade away, or risk it all to reclaim her voice. A dark arranged marriage romance where power meets defiance, and survival demands more than obedience-it demands fire.
