Taraksha Sinha was born into love-and guarded by it like a fortress. The only daughter in a tightly-knit joint family, she was pampered, protected, and practically untouchable. Her three elder brothers, two cousin brothers, and entire household built walls of affection so high that no suitor ever stood a chance.
She thought it was just them.
Until Aanan Suryawanshi came back.
Eight years her senior. Her brothers' best friend. A boy she once called "bhaiya" without a second thought.
But when he returned from abroad, something shifted. The man standing before her was no longer just a piece of her childhood. He was temptation wrapped in silence. Presence soaked in restraint.
And suddenly, she no longer saw a brother-but the one man her heart couldn't resist.
What Taraksha doesn't know is that Aanan has been hiding a truth deeper than time: for 5 years, he's loved her from afar. Loved her in silence. Loved her so fiercely, he drove away every man who came close-even while knowing she was never his to claim.
Until now.
As past boundaries blur and long-held secrets crack open, Taraksha must face a heart-shattering question: What do you do when the one man you love was always right in front of you... but the last one you're supposed to want?
A storm of passion, family, and forbidden longing-this is not just a love story. It's the love she was never meant to find.

The DON's Obsession [Indian Mafia Romance]
"𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧." Karthik and Kunal Thakur are ruthless gangsters, feared by many-but when it comes to their baby sister named Sanyukta; they are nothing but protective, over possesive brothers. Sanyukta is their only weakness: sweet, gentle, and blissfully unaware of the bloody world her brothers rule. But when a priest warns them that their sister won't live past twenty-five unless she marries before twenty-four, desperation grips them. They vow to find her the perfect husband-a decent man far away from the shadows of crime. But time is running out. Enemies begin circling, their sister's innocence becomes a dangerous temptation, and no "good" man is willing to step into their dark, criminal world. In a reckless move, Thakur Brothers abduct a seemingly harmless, poor man and force him into marriage with their sister. After a brutal beating, the innocent weak man agrees. To the Thakur brothers, he is the innocent gentleman they prayed for. But the truth is far darker. The man they dragged into their sister's life is no ordinary groom-he is the ruthless DON of the 'Red Fang' Mafia Organisation. Now questions burn in the shadows: 'Will the innocent Sanyukta accept the truth of the man she married?' 'Will the Brothers accept the groom's real identity or shatter the marriage?' 'How will her protective brothers digest the reality they unknowingly invited into their lives?' And above all... will Don ever let go of the bride who became his obsession the moment he saw her? The Don's Obsession; a slow-burn mafia romance of secrets, deception, and forbidden love.

From Pretend To Forever
The city of Mumbai buzzed with life, its skyline shimmering like a crown of ambition and desire. Amidst this world of luxury, power, and deceit, two destinies were about to collide... Agastya Khatri-a name that commanded power and respect. A ruthless multibillionaire known for turning everything he touched into gold, except for his own heart-cold, impenetrable, and ruled by logic. For him, emotions were liabilities, and relationships were nothing more than profitable deals. On the other side of the world of wealth was Shanaya Aggarwal-the spoiled, reckless daughter of a powerful business tycoon. Selfish and impulsive, she treated life like a playground meant for her amusement. Consequences were stories for other people. And then there was Siya Chaudhari-Shanaya's childhood best friend, the girl next door who believed in love, loyalty, and destiny. With her simple life and innocent charm, she was everything the elite world of power despised-and secretly craved. --- The story began the night Shanaya refused to meet Agastya, her father's business partner's son. Annoyed by the idea of an arranged alliance, she shoved the responsibility onto Siya, asking her to pretend to be "Shanaya" just for one meeting. Siya hesitated, unaware that this one lie would change her life forever. Dressed in borrowed elegance, she walked into the exclusive restaurant, heart pounding, hoping to survive the night unnoticed. But fate had other plans. Agastya Khatri was expecting arrogance and entitlement. What he found instead was innocence wrapped in elegance, vulnerability hidden behind hesitant smiles. He was intrigued. She was terrified. He saw a challenge. She saw a mistake. But destiny saw... a story worth telling. Two souls. One lie. An impossible love tangled in a world of deceit, power, and desire...
Dil Ki Dhadkan
Radhya Chowdhary - a girl whose name could touch Everest, yet whose feet remain humbly grounded. Born into a middle-class family, she never dreamed of flying beyond the skies; instead, she dreamt of walking the earth with grace. She's not just her father's little princess, but her mother's fierce queen. To her brother, she's the prettiest annoyance wrapped in unconditional love. Her strength lies in her dance - a rhythm that echoes even in the darkest nights and fiercest storms, an art she inherited from her mother. Behind her bright smile are secrets the world will never see, yet she carries them with gratitude, embracing every blessing from her deity. Telugu, her mother tongue, becomes her fierce weapon - a language reserved for playful scoldings and the occasional sharp retort. Far away from Radhya's sunlit world lives a soul drowning in shadows. Krishansh Pratap Singh - heir of a royal bloodline, yet belonging nowhere. The son of Naina and Vipul Pratap Singh, his life turned cold the day his mother and step father died saving their master's family. The court handed him over to his biological father's house, but love never followed him there. To them, he was not a son - he was a stain, a reminder of shame they could never erase, sheltered under their roof only because of his mother's inheritance. Except for a few loyal cousins, love eluded him. Time sculpted him into stone, hardened him into ice. Alone, he carved his own kingdom - a mafia empire standing tall without anyone's help. His friends became his fortress, his family of choice amidst betrayal. Yet even in this empire, one name still sparked fire in his veins - Arvi Srivastav. The girl he once adored, once teased, once admired with every playful pinch of her angry, red nose. But in his eyes, she became the reason his world shattered; the reason his parents never returned. He loved her once. Now, he only burns with hate. Or so he believes.

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.
