She became a doctor to save lives.
He became a soldier to protect them.

When Dr. Nitya Sharma sets off on a long-awaited trip to Kashmir, the last thing she expects is to end up in the middle of a terrorist attack-let alone saving five children and crossing paths with the one man she thought she'd never see again.

Captain Abhay Malhotra. Her childhood crush. Her heartbreak. Her what-could-have-been.

Seven years ago, one misunderstanding tore them apart. Now, fate throws them back together-this time with guns, blood, and secrets between them. As they return to AFMC Pune, tangled in memories and military duty, sparks reignite amidst teasing, tension, and the quiet question neither of them dares to ask: What if it was never too late?

In a world of loyalty, sacrifice, and shifting missions, can love survive the line between uniforms and heartbeats?

"One battlefield brought them together.
Seven years of silence tore them apart.
Now, a rescue mission might just give them a second chance-
between uniforms and heartbeats."

Muscular, tall, and strikingly handsome, he hides scars behind authority, and a heart long buried beneath duty. Bella Mehra - age 28, tech prodigy and civilian project lead. Independent, compassionate, and sharper than she appears. Bella has spent her life helping others, but never learned how to help herself.

And until an impossible decision is made behind closed doors, To protect her... she must marry him.

In his light , she blooms by shakshi_writes

Anaya Sharma is brilliance wrapped in silence. At just twenty-seven, she's a celebrated surgeon-admired for her flawless skills and feared for her icy demeanor. To many, she is arrogant. Untouchable. But what they don't see is the price she pays to save lives-sometimes even at the cost of her own. Arjun Rathore is the sun to her storm. A charming, sharp-witted criminal and constitutional lawyer, Arjun's presence in a courtroom is unstoppable. No one dares challenge the man whose words bend justice and who never bows to power, especially political corruption. But even his influence falters when the system he fights turns its back on his greatest weakness-his sister. When Aarushi Rathore becomes the victim of a politically fueled accident, no hospital is willing to treat her. Doors close. Fear spreads. Hope begins to fade. Until Anaya steps forward. Knowing the consequences, she chooses courage over comfort. Defying the very system that protects her, she risks her career-and her life-to save Aarushi. Her selfless act plants the first seed of admiration in Arjun's heart. As Aarushi heals, so does something else. Arjun begins to break through Anaya's carefully built walls, slowly melting the ice around her heart. In late-night checkups, courtroom battles, and whispered confessions, their bond deepens. What starts as respect becomes warmth, and warmth becomes something neither of them expected-love. But in a world where power silences truth, their love is a rebellion. Together, they must face threats, political enemies, and the ghosts of their pasts. Because some love stories aren't written in peace. They're written in courage, fire, and quiet defiance. "She saves lives with a scalpel. He protects truth with words. And together-they dare to love in a world that punishes the brave."

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

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. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

🪞 #𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟎𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 She wasn't saved. She was handed over quietly, cruelly, like a secret no one wanted to keep. Nitya was soft. Too soft for a world that carved love out of manipulation and called it care. Raised under a roof where tenderness was twisted and silence was survival, she learned that obedience was the only way to stay invisible. Especially when your own mother becomes the mask behind your undoing. So when Nitya is married off, not for love, not even for tradition, but for control she doesn't protest. She folds. Like she always has. Avayan didn't ask for her. He's all edges and ice unreadable, untouchable, and emotionally void. He only said yes because it was expected of him. But something changes in the stillness. Moments pass. And in between the ones where she's breaking quietly are the ones where someone stays. Not to rescue her. Not to hold her. Just to remain. And somehow, between the words left unsaid and the glances not meant to linger, a slow, aching tenderness begins to rise not loud, not sudden but real. This isn't a story of perfect love. This isn't a story of grand gestures or sudden passion. It's a slow, haunting unraveling - of a girl who was barely even hers, Yet, in a marriage built on duty, can desire turn into something more? Can Nitya find the courage to claim her place beside the man who teases and torments her with a tenderness she never knew she craved? And will Avayan, who never believed in love, realize that she was meant to be his all along? A slow-burning tension, stolen moments, and a love that was never supposed to happen-but refuses to be ignored. A quiet beginning. A burning middle. A love that doesn't save her- but teaches her how to choose herself, and him, at the same time. And the man who unknowingly teaches her how to belong to herself.

In the corridors of a bustling school, six lives intertwine-each carrying secrets, dreams, and scars they never dared to share. Meera, bold yet broken. Saransh, the silent protector. Nisha, soft-hearted but guarded. Dhruv, the joker hiding silent tears. Seema and Rishabh, the chaos wrapped in laughter and love. What starts as innocent classroom banter soon blossoms into deep friendships, unspoken crushes, heartbreaks, and the kind of love that lingers even in silence. As the group journeys from teenage pranks to grown-up dilemmas, they face the brutal beauty of life-unexpected confessions, misunderstandings that sting, sacrifices that go unnoticed, and a ticking clock none of them are prepared for. But life doesn't wait. And sometimes, love comes at the cost of time, truth, or even one's own heartbeat. Will these friends hold on to each other when everything starts falling apart? Will love win when fate has other plans? A tale of friendship, first love, heartbreak, and the aching beauty of growing up-this story will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even believe in the kind of love that stays... even when everything else fades. School teenage friends got separated by misunderstanding... after 7 years met by destiny again. What will happen when they will meet again. They were seperated when their friendship was on the verge of breaking. Will their misunderstanding break the remaining strength in the thread. Or a simple small knot will make their friendship even more stronger. After 7 years when they will meet each other with lots of complaints in their heart and sorries on their lips. Will they get forgiveness? Will they solve their misunderstanding and unit together?. What will happen when they will meet after 7 years? Will their faded feelings for each other bloom again? Or their misunderstanding will overpower them?. To know what happens in all their lifes let's dive into the story of school bestfriends batch 2015-16.

His heaven , Her hell by kumkum_00

She loved him with every fiber of her being. He? He loved to see her break. Kaira Sharma - a girl with sharp hazel-green eyes, waist-length dark hair, and a heart too tender for the cruel world. She was fierce yet fragile, strong yet hopelessly in love with a man who never truly held her the way she held him in her heart. A woman who believed in love, only to watch it destroy her. Kabir Oberoi - the epitome of arrogance, a man with striking golden-brown eyes that held secrets darker than the night. Tall, effortlessly charming, and dangerously ruthless, he was the storm no one saw coming. With a perfectly sculpted physique, broad shoulders, and a presence that demanded attention, he was strikingly handsome-every inch of him designed to make hearts falter. His smirk could make hearts race, and his words could shatter them just as easily. He was never meant to love , but did he ever truly hate her? When betrayal and love collide, will their hearts find a way back, or will the wounds run too deep to heal? Will Kaira's pain turn into power, or will Kabir's indifference be his greatest regret? A story of love that was never meant to be soft, of misunderstandings too twisted to untangle, and of a bond that will either mend with time or be lost forever. In the end, will they overcome their differences? Or will they consume each other in the fire of their own making?
