# Book 2 of the "Between" series.
Sitara Varadhan never intended to chase fame. A quiet medical student with a love for storytelling, she stumbles into acting by chance-and unexpectedly lands the lead in a major film.
Her co-star? Ashwin, a charismatic actor making his return after a long hiatus.
They're strangers at first. But as the cameras roll and their on-screen chemistry deepens, the lines between performance and emotion begin to blur.
What starts as awkward silence turns into quiet companionship, shared music, and viral moments neither of them saw coming.
Sitara, introverted and cautious, must navigate a world of lights, scrutiny, and emotions she never meant to feel. And Ashwin-still healing from a past he keeps buried-finds himself drawn to something far more real than a scripted romance.
Behind the flashing cameras, two guarded hearts are learning to open up.
Between fame, fear, and fragile beginnings-can something real survive the spotlight?
A slow-burn story of love, friendship, and rediscovering yourself-Between the Spotlights.

Practically Perfect
Aakash, fresh into the business world, was buried in pitches, proposals, and learning how not to burn toast. Marriage was the last thing on his mind. Palki, on the other hand, had grown up on fairy tales. She believed in love, but only the kind that made her heart skip a beat - not the kind arranged over tea and awkward meetings. Palki and Aakash have been best friends forever. They know each other better than anyone else-every silly habit, every big dream. Love? No way. They've always been just friends. But now, life is getting complicated. Palki's parents are sending her to see one guy after another for marriage. Aakash's business partners think he needs to look "settled" to win big deals. Both of them are tired of the pressure and not ready to give up on their dreams. So, they come up with a plan-pretend to date each other. Just for a while. Just to keep everyone off their backs. It's supposed to be easy. Fake dates, a few photos, some sweet words in front of family and friends. Nothing real. But soon, things start to feel... different. Their fake smiles turn into real laughter. Holding hands doesn't feel so awkward anymore. And before they know it, this fake relationship might just be the real thing. Family drama, sweet moments, and a lot of heart-Practically Perfect is a story about friendship, love, and finding something real when you least expect it.Complete

LOTUS: her blooming love [Brother's Best Friend × Acid Attack Survivor]
Lotus: Her Blooming Love "Love isn't about claiming, it's about surrender. And healing begins where true love waits silently. Gauri Vishwakarma was born with fire in her aim and devotion in her heart. A joyful, talkative girl whose world revolved around archery, friendships, and the whispered prayers she shared with her eternal companion-Shri Krishna. She thought she understood love. At least, that's what her possessive boyfriend made her believe. But everything begins to change the moment she steps into Jamshedpur, chasing her dreams at the Tata Archery Academy. When her brother's best friend, Shiv Verma, a quiet, dark-skinned coach with eyes full of unspoken emotions, walks back into her life-everything that once seemed sure starts to unravel. What Gauri doesn't know is that Shiv has loved her since they were teenagers-since the first time he saw her lighting a diya in the Radha Krishna temple, talking to Kanha like He was really listening. She never noticed. But he never forgot. Now, fate brings them under the same roof, in the same training ground, with her heart confused and his love silent. Will her broken beliefs about love shatter under pressure, or bloom into something pure? Will she see the difference between control and care? And will Kanha guide her to a love that heals? A tender, slow-burn desi love story that celebrates faith, healing, and the kind of love that waits. Forever.Complete
