Haije Lemman Goncleir is a wealthy and renowned businessman in his prime-thirty years old, untouched by romance, with no flings, exes, or even a hint of a love life. A self-proclaimed island devotee, he would rather marry his empire than risk falling for someone who only sees his bank account.
Neriss Hae Sartione, a quiet soul from the province who straddles the edges of city life, has loved Haije from afar-loyal and unseen. A compassionate psychiatrist who's a master at healing others' minds, yet struggles to mend her own. Can she let go of a love that never belonged to her in the first place?
One is guarded by steel walls of success; the other is driven by silent devotion. Will a chance encounter write their love story, or will they remain strangers drifting in parallel?
To the world, Haije is a still, unshakable tide. But to Neriss, he's the storm that stirs everything she's tried to keep calm.

MENDED SOULS
Surayya Galadima isn't just a name: it's a statement. The woman everyone watches but never truly knows. A vision of sophistication and perfectionist in every sense of the word. Everything about her is deliberate, not forced, just naturally refined. She owns every room she steps into exuding an effortless confidence that makes her the girl everyone either wants to be or wants to have. And if you claim neither, you're lying, or just jealous. Surayya has mastered the art of keeping the world at arm's length while still keeping them hooked. Just enough glimpses to keep people watching. Never personal, never too much. People call her cold and some call her snobbish. But that's because only a few people get to see past her walls. Those who assume they know her? They only know the version she chooses to show. Tareeq Maiyaki isn't just royalty: he is the silent storm, power in its most dangerous form with his destiny written long before he could even walk. A man of few words, but when he speaks, everyone listens. He doesn't need to demand attention, he simply exists and the world adjust. Maybe it comes with the royal lineage or just raw commanding energy. If there's one thing in his ever so calculated life that refuses to bend to his will, it's Surayya Galadima. The one name he name he never speaks, the one thought he never acknowledges, yet she's always there. The exception. The complication. >>> When life took them by surprise and got them tangled in the most unexpected situation, will their strong-headedness and ego win...or love, the most powerful emotion known to mankind?Complete

My Surgeon Wife
Sanjay Malhotra is everything a girl's parents dream of-young, rich, powerful, and impeccably mannered. As the chairman of the multi-billion-dollar Malhotra Group, he lives in a world of numbers, boardrooms, and luxury-far from love, feelings, or family warmth. A man of few words, and even fewer smiles. Dr. Ria Sharma, on the other hand, is Mumbai's rising neurosurgeon-brilliant, bold, and kind-hearted. Her world is filled with patients, night shifts, and chai breaks with her middle-class yet loving family. They meet for the first time through an arranged proposal-two strangers from different worlds, bound together by tradition. Marriage wasn't their dream. But understanding, companionship, and something deeper... slowly begins to bloom. A feel-good, slow-paced love story of two people who learn to trust, open up, and fall in love-after marriage. Because sometimes, strangers can become soulmates-if the heart is patient enough.

Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife.

Vardhaan : Her only Obsession
"He was never meant to be hers, but she'll break the world to make it so". ~ ~ Kashvi Sharma ~ ~ She has never begged. She has never known the taste of rejection, the sting of defeat, or the ache of longing-until she saw him. She isn't the kind of woman to fall. She hunts. She takes what she wants, and she never asks twice. But Vardhaan? He is the only thing she has ever truly desired. At 23, she is a name spoken in whispers, the leader of an empire built on blood and power. Beautiful. Ruthless. Unstoppable. A queen who bows to no one. ~ ~ Vardhaan Tripathi ~ ~ A man who isn't meant to be owned. A man who builds empires with a signature and destroys legacies with a whisper. A man who walks through life untouched, uninterested, and immune to the idea of love. At 27, Vardhaan has spent years crafting his empire, turning his wealth into a legacy untouchable by any force. He has been chased by women, feared by men, and respected by those who know he does not play games. ° ° ° And yet, Kashvi is a storm he never saw coming. A woman who doesn't understand the word 'no.' A woman who doesn't just want his love-she demands his soul. "You don't love me, Kashvi." "I don't love, Vardhaan. I claim." What starts as a dangerous obsession turns into a war of control. He refuses. She persists. He resists. She ensnares. She chases, he resists. She controls, he defies. But when the lines blur and Vardhaan starts to fall-will it be love, or will it be war?
