Five years ago, she left him without a warning. Broke his heart into pieces. But now? Now, she's back - in his workplace, in his space, in his head.
Aarav Malhotra was ready to give Nithiya Varundavan everything - his heart, his future, his forever. But on a cold December night, she ended it all and walked away like it meant nothing.
He never forgot her.
She never explained why.
And neither of them ever really moved on.
Now reunited at the same firm in London, the air between them crackles with unresolved tension. Heated glances. Friction-filled meetings. Every moment teetering between fury and something far more dangerous.
Love like theirs doesn't disappear.
It simmers. And when it reignites...
it burns.

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." Author's note - Currently writing extra chapters 💖👀Complete

BOUND BY FATE
READ BOUND BY FIRE PART 1 OF THIS SERIES BFRE CONTINUING PLEASE!! She was never meant to be his. Yet from the moment Aarav Raichand laid eyes on her-fierce, untamed, heartbreakingly defiant..he knew. Knew she was his to protect, his to possess, his to destroy if it came to that. No matter how much blood it took, how many lies he had to weave, or how deeply he had to bury the truth behind his midnight sins-Abhira Aarav Raichand would belong to him. Even if she hated him for it. Even if the world turned against them. Even if fate itself demanded a price. Because obsession was not love. It was deeper. Darker. Unrelenting. And Aarav Raichand? He never let go. Not of what was his. Not of her. Especially not when destiny tried to rip her away. Because some love stories weren't written in stars... They were etched in blood. And bound by fate. Thousands of miles away, hidden beneath grey London skies, she lived in the shadows of what once was. Abhira Raichand-though no one called her that here-woke each morning with the ache of a name she could no longer speak. Her heart beat for a man who believed she was dead. A man who would burn the world to find her, if only he knew she still breathed. Every laugh from Krish held pieces of Aarav's fire. Every tear Parvati wiped away mirrored his tenderness. They didn't know the man who ruled their blood, the storm behind their existence. But Abhira saw him in them-every moment, every breath, every heartbeat. She waited. Not foolishly, but faithfully. Not for forgiveness. Not for absolution. But for him. Because even in silence, even through oceans, something in her still believed: Aarav Raichand would come for her. He had to. Because fate wasn't done with them yet. Not when their love had already rewritten destiny.Complete
