SEASONS OF THE HEART SERIES #3
How do you return to yourself after losing so much along the way?
Elara was the kind of girl who always held it together. The one who smiled at the right time, said the right things, and made herself smaller so no one would call her too much. She was good at being what people needed - so good, she forgot how to be anything else.
Elias was the dreamer. The kind of boy who felt things deeply but didn't always know how to say them - so he let the music speak for him. It was where he felt most like himself. No expectations, no pretending - just something real he could hold on to.
But dreams can feel heavy when you're carrying them alone. When the people around you don't understand, when their silence starts to sound like doubt.
And over time, even the thing that once made him feel alive... started to fade.
They loved each other in the middle of all that becoming. In shared silences, half-spoken hopes, and tired evenings where the weight of the world softened in each other's presence. It was real - even if it wasn't enough to save them from slowly fading apart.
Some loves don't leave. They simply wait - quiet, unchanged, beneath the versions of ourselves we thought we had to be.
A love that never rushed as if it always knew they'd find their way back, within autumn's embrace.

Falling for the Kingpin
"Just give me a second, please," I whispered. He stopped. For a heartbeat, I thought maybe-just maybe-he'd turn back. Instead, his voice came, quiet but cruel. "A second? Why? Was four months not enough?" The words hit harder than any scream could have. "You don't understand," I said, but it wasnt a sound. More like a whisper. He spun around so fast it made me flinch. Now we were face-to-face, his breath uneven, eyes wild and shining. I could see the storm inside him, the tears he refused to let fall. "Don't understand what, Elaina?" he said. "Help me here. What don't I understand?" My throat tightened. The words wouldn't come. The truth was right there, pounding in my chest, begging to get out-but all that escaped was a trembling, "I..."

Will Elaina capture him-or will she risk everything for the one man she's sworn to take down?Complete
The Hourglass Heart
What if every sunrise erased the person your heart was sure it knew? Elara Vance is a brilliant watchmaker who lives in a world of precise, interlocking parts. Liam Kincaid is a soulful composer who lives in the spaces between notes. Their love is a symphony-culminating in a proposal surrounded by the ticking of a hundred clocks.. But the next morning, Elara wakes up screaming. A handsome, vaguely familiar stranger is in her bed. The diagnosis is as rare as it is cruel: Focal Relational Amnesia. Every time she sleeps, her mind will methodically erase Liam from her memory. Faced with an impossible choice, Liam makes an even more impossible vow... he will make her fall in love with him again-every single day. Based on a system of notebooks, videos, and a love he refuses to let go of, they must navigate a relationship that resets at dawn. But as Elara's own hands seem to remember the man her mind cannot, they are forced to ask the ultimate question: Is love just a collection of shared memories, or is it a choice you are brave enough to make every single morning?
Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
Untimely Love (Book 3)
♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤ ♠♤ "Have you ever been in love?" I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull. I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut. Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now. "By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have." ♠♤ He hadn't been prepared for the past year. In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom. He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college. A girl hadn't been in his plans. Heartbreak hadn't either. But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that. And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken. He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'. And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college. ♠♤ ♤ Sequel to 'Forbidden Attraction' ♤ Will officially start publishing in September 2020

Stay a Little Longer
Not all love stories are loud. Some are quiet... almost silent. They unfold between unspoken glances, gentle pauses, and moments that nearly didn't happen. Elina once believed that love should fix things. That it was supposed to sweep in like a storm - mend the broken parts, rewrite the past, and make everything whole again. But life doesn't always come with neat endings. People she thought would stay forever slowly became memories with soft edges. Now, she hides behind sarcasm, rain-soaked hoodies, solo sunsets, and old letters she never had the courage to finish. Then there's Timmy. He's the boy who never knocks. He just appears - with sleepy eyes, two different socks, and a way of handing her tea like it's a love language. He never asks her to smile. He just sits beside her, even in the silence... especially in the silence. He doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't try to understand every scar. He just stays. When she pushes, he doesn't pull. When she hides, he waits. He's patient with her quiet days, her weird jokes, her sleepy eyes, and her unpredictable moods. Their story isn't about grand declarations or cinematic kisses in the rain. It's about slow mornings, sleepy conversations, and soft reminders that you're allowed to be loved without performing for it. This isn't forever. This isn't perfect. But it's something real. Fragile... but real. A soft kind of love. The kind that whispers - not demands. The kind that says: 🌿 "I'm not asking you to be okay. I'm just asking... can I stay? Even if it's just a little longer?" And in that quiet in-between, where fear and hope meet - they find a home in each other. --- ✨ Hashtags ✨ #StayALittleLonger #SoftLoveStories #TimmyAndElina #AestheticLove #LoveInTheSilence #QuietRomance #EmotionalFiction #HealingTogether #BookTokLove #TikTokReads #InstagramStorytime #HeartfeltTales #StoryOfUs #LetMeStay #SoftBoyEnergy #WarmVibesOnly #VulnerableLove #HoldOnTogether #FictionThatFeelsReal
The Weather of Us
He met her in a storm. He found her hair tie on the ground. He returned it the next day like it meant something. After getting dumped in the middle of a train station downpour, Elara Hayes is officially done with romance, heartbreak, and boys who fold at the first sign of feelings. What she doesn't expect is the stranger watching her from across the platform - or the fact that he finds the pink hair tie she dropped and keeps it like it matters. Kade Vance wasn't planning on following her to a café the next morning. He wasn't planning on crossing the room, handing back the hair tie, and asking if she's okay in that rough, quiet voice that sounds like thunder about to break. But storms have a way of pulling people toward each other. She's soft and chaotic - raised between divorced parents who treat feelings like ammunition. He's calm and dangerous - the boy everyone warns her about, the one who watches the world like he's always waiting for it to hit first. They weren't supposed to collide again. They definitely weren't supposed to fall this fast. But when her family dinner explodes and Kade texts her at the exact moment she breaks, everything shifts. Too fast. Too intense. Too much. Exactly like the weather. Now Elara's trying to figure out why a stranger feels safer than her own family, and Kade's trying to hide how hard he's already fallen. Because the truth is simple: She's the calm after his storm. He's the storm she's been waiting for. And some people don't just meet - they collide.

Two souls, two lives, two extremes of existence She was mischief wrapped in sweetness, The girl who painted every hallway of the school with her brightness, The one whose giggles were remembered long after the day ended. People said she was the kind of joy you don't forget, The kind of light that even shadows bowed to. He was the enigma, the untouchable, The boy with cold eyes and a sharper tongue, The one every heart ached for, yet feared to reach. He was the thrill no one dared to claim, The heartbreak every girl still dreamt of. And then- Their worlds collided. Not in a planned, gentle way, But like fire meeting ice, Like destiny laughing at its own script. They fought, they teased, they resisted. But love? Love was merciless. It crept in, slow and stubborn, Until even the storm softened for the sunshine, And even the sunshine found her calm in the storm. For a moment in time, It felt like the world had bent its rules. They weren't two people anymore- They were one soul in two bodies, Breathing the same ache, Dreaming the same dream. But the world... The world doesn't forgive such lovers. It doesn't allow opposites to stay stitched together. History had warned them- Radha and Krishna loved, But they were never allowed a forever. And history repeated itself. He walked away. Just like Krishna had walked away once upon a time, Silent, merciless, leaving behind only memories. And she became Radha once more, Living not with him, But with the ghost of him, With the fragrance of a love That was too pure to survive this world. Ruhanika, the girl everyone adored, Now carried a smile stitched with pain. Hridav, the boy who owned every heart, Now lived as if untouched, unbroken- But somewhere, somewhere in his silence, He still carried her name. Because some stories don't have a happily ever after. Because some stories aren't written to be completed. Because some love is so eternal, It was never meant for this lifetime. #1 in goel #1 in adhuri #1 in kahaniComplete
The Heart KNOWS | Ongoing | Vihaan×Indhu
#Book1 of The Heart Series VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way.

They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken.

He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his.
