Book 2 of SOFT SERIES.
In the vibrant streets of 1899 Calcutta, where tradition and change collide, two hearts from vastly different worlds dare to defy the odds. Pakhi Mukherjee, a spirited and confident college student with dreams of becoming a writer, finds solace in secret romance novels, forbidden by her orthodox society. Matthew Hemmings, a kind-hearted British university student and aspiring jewelry designer, struggles to balance his heritage with his admiration for the culture he now calls home.
When their paths cross during an educational tour, curiosity turns into an unlikely friendship. Pakhi's sharp wit and innocence captivate Matthew, while his understanding and charm awaken feelings she's never known. But in a society bound by rigid norms, their growing bond is not just unconventional-it's DANGEROUS.
As they navigate shared secrets, lingering glances, and the suffocating weight of societal expectations, Pakhi and Matthew must decide: Is their love worth risking everything? Or will the shadows of their divided worlds tear them apart before they've even begun?
With themes of forbidden love, cultural unity, and self-discovery, Pakhi ~ My First Love is a slow-burn romance that will leave you longing for moonlit serenades, heartfelt promises, and the courage to follow your heart.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
The New Classic
𝐀𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐲𝐚 I'd sworn off of love and men after the fiasco that was my last relationship. Until I spent one steamy and passionate night with a dark haired stranger. A man that I thought I'd never see again. Until I found out that he was my new boss. I absolutely could not get involved with Neil - I'd had enough drama to last me a lifetime. But it wasn't long before the lines drawn between us became blurred. I just hoped that this time, my heart would make it out in one piece. 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 Taking over my father's company as CEO all of a sudden was the last thing I ever wanted. That is, until I saw her. The woman I'd spent one night with. The very woman I hadn't stopped thinking about since. And she just so happened to be my employee. Which meant that she was off limits. I was supposed to stay away. But I couldn't help myself from falling for her. Now, the only challenge was convincing Aaliya whether whatever this was between us was worth pursuing or not.

"Kabhi kabhi zindagi humein aise mod par laa khada karti hai, jahan ek pal kisi ajnabi ka... poori zindagi mein ghul jaata hai." (Sometimes, life brings us to a crossroads... where a single moment with a stranger becomes entwined with our entire existence.) He was just eight years old, a boy from Lahore with the world at his feet. She was six or seven, visiting Pakistan from Germany for the first time-curious eyes, a shy smile, her braids swinging as she ran across the lawns of Minar-e-Pakistan. They met by accident. But those two hours they spent laughing, playing, forgetting the world- -were enough for Salar Sikandar to remember her forever. He never saw her again. All he had was a faded Polaroid photo, taken just before she left. Twelve years passed. Twelve years of searching, hoping, praying. And then, finally-he found her. In a quiet Bavarian town, in a small apartment building where the scent of fresh bread floated from the bakery where she worked, where her name was still the same: Maryam. She wore a hijab now. Her eyes were the same-still kind, still faraway. She didn't remember him. But he had never forgotten her. So he moved into the apartment next door. Not to force his way into her life. Just to be close. Just in case... Kabhi jo nazar milay... This is not just a love story. It's a story of destiny, silence, longing, and fate. The kind of love that doesn't need words. The kind of love that waits. Started: 02.07.2025 ⚠️I don't own the picture in the book cover I got it from Pinterest and I just edited it.
IF DESTINY WANTS...
Priya Singh Suryavanshi has lived her life with quiet fire and impossible dreams. Born under Delhi's sun and raised on stories of destiny and royal bloodlines, she believes in signs, in soul-threads, and in the universe's secret plans. While the world sees just another small-town girl with fragile hopes, she carries a universe inside her stitched with fashion sketches, Paris runways, and a heart that aches for someone who doesn't know she exists. He, the world-beloved star who sings like he was carved from heartbreak and stardust, returns to the stage only to break under the weight of his own tears. And while millions cheer his comeback, one girl cries quietly for him, whispering a wish only the stars will hear: > "I just want you to be happy." From the golden deserts of India to the glittering dreams of Paris, this is a story about two souls walking separate worlds yet tied by fate, longing, and a gentle universe that listens. It's about dreams that feel too big, love that feels too impossible, and a belief stubborn enough to challenge destiny itself. And somewhere, in the quiet space between heartbeats and starlight, two paths begin to bend toward each other....
