"Cooler in Theory" is a soft, slow-burn story about family, control, healing, and all the things we carry-even when we think we've escaped them.

Inked Hearts
Sandhya Sen was just a girl from a forgotten village, with a heart full of stories and a voice the world never cared to hear. By day, she lived in silence and shadows. By night, she became someone else entirely - a beloved writer on Wattpad, spinning tales that touched thousands, especially one anonymous reader who clung to every word. But one day, she disappeared. Deleted everything. No goodbye. No explanation. And her most loyal reader was left with nothing but questions. Three years later, Sandhya is thrust into an arranged marriage she never wanted - and never saw coming. Her husband, Aryan Mehta, is reserved, emotionally guarded, and far too observant for her comfort. But unlike the arrogant men she feared, Aryan doesn't raise his voice - he watches, listens, and carries his own quiet grief. What neither of them knows is that they've already met - in a world of words, under the veil of usernames and shared vulnerabilities. As they stumble through the fragile beginnings of their marriage, buried secrets begin to surface. The writer she was. The reader he became. And the story that bound them - long before they knew each other's names. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I've lost a lot of people in my life, Sandhya...And I-I don't want to lose you too." - Aryan Mehta. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You'll fall, and I'll catch you. You'll cry, and I'll wipe your tears away. If you stop, I'll keep moving - carrying you forward with your hand in mine. I don't know exactly when I started feeling this way, but I know it's real. I know my feelings. And yes, I'm scared too - scared of losing you, scared that one day I might say something that could hurt you. But... that's life, isn't it? We make mistakes, we learn, and we move forward - together." - Sandhya Sen.Complete

Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy.

One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

Book Two of The Cost of Outrunning Fate ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ Not all thrones are made of gold.

He learned early how to stay unseen-how to earn worth through discipline, how to exist beside Aaryan without resentment. And every time Vivaan reached the top, Niya Sharma was already there. She didn't compete. She simply was-brilliant, composed, inevitable. To the world, perfection. To Vivaan, an unbreakable wall. Until she saw him. Rivalry turned into reverence. Ambition into surrender. Vivaan loved her quietly, like a prayer that asks for nothing. She became his goddess. He became devotion. But faith can fracture. And one mistake-the only one he was never meant to make-destroyed the temple he built for her. A story of rivals turned worship and devotion that asks only one question: 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏, 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚? ──────── ✦ ──────── "If you didn't exist, I'd have everything I ever wanted."- Vivaan "Your brother was given a throne. But you? You have the power to build an empire. That's the difference. One that screams not 'Thaakur Dynamics'-but Vivaan Thaakur."- Niya
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
HIDDEN AFFECTION
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.
