📖 Book Description (Blurb):
Dark. Obsessive. Twisted.
In a world ruled by secrets, power, and betrayal-love is the deadliest game of all.
Anvitha Ramaswamy was never meant to survive. Stolen from a life she never knew, she was reborn in blood and fire, molded by the hands of a powerful man who claimed to save her-but owned her instead.
Years later, she's not the broken girl they tried to erase. She's fierce, guarded, and untouchable... until he enters the picture.
Ryan Raichand-ruthless, arrogant, and dangerously charming. He doesn't ask for permission. He takes. And the moment he sets his eyes on Anvitha, she becomes his favorite obsession.
But the past has sharp claws. And when buried truths begin to resurface-about her identity, her stolen childhood, and the people she thought she could trust-Anvitha is forced to choose: burn the world down for revenge... or lose herself in the man who might've helped destroy her.
This isn't a love story.
It's survival.
It's vengeance.
And it's war between power, passion, and past.
🖤 Author's Note :
This story is not for the faint-hearted. It explores themes of power, control, trauma, and healing-layered in a twisted romance that grows in the shadows of pain and obsession.

Marked In Fire
She wanted freedom. He wanted forever. Neither was ready for the fire they would unleash together. They say love is meant to heal, to soothe, to bring peace. But what happens when love becomes the very reason you burn? vamika rai had spent her entire life living in borrowed choices-an obedient daughter, a silent listener, a girl who bent until she forgot the sound of her own defiance. Until one night, when her world snapped. And standing at the edge of her breaking point-she said yes to a man she should've run from. Reyansh Raghuvanshi. A name spoken in hushed tones. The kind of man whose silence feels heavier than screams. To the world, he is control-power wrapped in devotion, a believer of Mahadev whose every vow is carved from steel. But behind that calm lies a darkness no one dares to touch. A man carrying sins he never confessed, pain he never shared, and a love that doesn't bloom-it consumes. He doesn't fall in love. He claims. And when he wanted her, he didn't ask. He took. Their marriage was not a choice-it was a storm. A forced collision between her rebellion and his obsession, between her disbelief and his faith, between her fire and his shadows. She swore she would destroy every wall he built. He vowed she would never escape them. Yet beneath her trembling silence, there is another woman no one knows. A woman forged in secrets, veiled behind obedience. A woman whose fire runs deeper, darker, older. And when she awakens-every truth they buried will rise with her. This is not the story of a perfect love. It is the story of two broken souls tied by fate, bound by choices they never wanted to make. A tale of power, pain, and passion-where devotion becomes possession, and every scar tells a secret. Because sometimes, love doesn't come to save you. It comes to mark you. And once marked in fire-there's no turning back.

White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Concluida

Obsession wears his name, Vengeance wears his Crown
Anbu is not the kind of man who asks for power-he takes it. A mafia boss feared across Tamil Nadu, he's the kind of legend whispered in fear, the kind of man who ends you before you plead. At 34, he's not rich, not royal-but his wrath is worth empires. Raised in a village that hated him, abused and cast aside, he crawled out of hell alone and built his kingdom with nothing but a gun and scars. He doesn't forgive. He doesn't flinch. And love? It has no place in a world that never gave him any. Raatri Malhotra is the storm behind silence. At just 26, she wears her ADGP badge like a dagger tucked in silk-elegant, lethal, unshaken. Born into privilege, trained in precision, and haunted by the things she can't speak of, she doesn't chase justice. She hunts it. She's not just the law-she's the executioner hiding behind soft smiles and civil words. She plays the long game, and when the time comes, she never misses. "She wasn't born of the sun. She was carved from the night-velvet, vicious, and untouchable." He was everything she vowed to destroy. She was everything he never thought he could love. In a world where power corrupts and love consumes, some stories aren't written in ink. They're written in blood. Their love was not a fairytale-it was a massacre in slow motion. It wasn't built on trust. It was carved through betrayal, laced with blood and bound by need. He loved her like a curse-possessive, raw, unrelenting. She loved him like a loaded gun-cold, dangerous, and pointed straight at the world. Together, they didn't fix each other. They didn't change each other. They bled, broke, and burned-until the pain didn't taste like poison anymore. He became her war, and she became his only peace. And in a world where betrayal came easier than breath, they were violently, painfully loyal-until the very end. She would lie for him. He would kill for her. Because when monsters love, they don't hold hands. They hold hearts in clenched fists-and protect them like territory.
