He was the man she never wanted to marry. Until danger forced them closer... and love made everything more dangerous.

When fiercely independent Meher Sharma agrees to an arranged marriage with Delhi's most private and powerful heir, Aarav Kapoor, she expects distance, silence, and a contract. Not stolen glances. Not the slow unraveling of his guarded heart. And certainly not a shattered mirror on their engagement night with the blood-red message:
"Where is Ishita?"

Ishita - Aarav's ex, Meher's near twin, and the girl who vanished five years ago.

As secrets begin to surface and enemies close in, Meher and Aarav are forced into an unlikely partnership - not just to protect their families and the truth, but to protect each other. What starts as a cold arrangement begins to thaw - slowly, painfully, beautifully.

But with every answer comes a new threat.
And in this marriage built on secrets, the biggest risk might be falling in love.

A dance with the storm by aira_17234

She was fire. He was the storm. And together, they burned the world." A marriage she never wanted. A man the world feared. A love neither saw coming. When Aarya Raichand is forced into an arranged marriage with Dev Vora-the most powerful businessman in India and the cold-hearted king of the criminal underworld-she expects nothing but a gilded prison. He expects obedience. Silence. A pretty wife to complete his empire. Instead, he gets fire. She hates him. He doesn't care. Until he starts to. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, what began as a war of wills turns into a dangerous game of obsession, betrayal, and undeniable desire. But in a world where power is blood-deep and trust is deadly, falling in love isn't just reckless. It's a declaration of war. He falls first. She falls harder. And when they fall... They take the whole empire down with them.

Every Flame | ✔️ by akiimarvelous

❝Our love douses us in flames. It's terrible and deep and wingless, but I'll burn here if you burn here too.❞ ───※ ·❆· ※─── Kabir and Meher Two polar opposites; or that's what they think they are. They are both burning in the pain of love. Where one is aware of the other's pain, the other absolutely has no idea what the former has been through. Both are opaque as a thick mist, nobody can ever figure out what is going on in their mind. It is their favourite hobby to avoid each other. Because if they are together, there will be nothing but ashes. But when they're thrown into a marriage of convenience, it takes every fibre of their souls to hold back the new emotions that they feel towards each other. With a killer on the loose, their dangling relationship takes a test of time as the past rises up from the dead. Well, the results are just as similar to their dynamics- intense and full of heartbreaks. Will the flames burn what they already have or give rise to something new?

The Fire Between Us |18+ by _ashiwrites_

The fire between us Two souls scarred by the same fire. One marriage contract. A legacy built on secrets. And a love that should never have existed. When Meher Sharma, a sunshine-hearted architect struggling to save her crumbling royal legacy, is forced into a contract marriage with Aarav Veer Rathore-the cold, calculating billionaire heir of an enemy dynasty-she believes she's trading freedom for survival. What she doesn't know is that Aarav has been watching her for years. Every move. Every smile. Every breath. Aarav's obsession is rooted in a past neither of them fully understands-a mysterious fire that killed his mother and left scars far deeper than skin. As Meher steps into the opulent Rathore estate, she begins to unravel truths her family buried long ago... and discovers that the man she married might be both her savior and her stalker. But Meher has secrets of her own. And the fire between them? It's not just passion-it's revenge, guilt, madness... and something even more dangerous. As their forced proximity ignites twisted desire and betrayals stack like ash, Meher and Aarav must confront the shadows that haunt them-or be consumed by them. > In a palace built on blood and lies, can obsession ever become love... or will it always end in flames?

Dil Ke Dermiyaan by Ishqwritesss

By ishqwritesss --- "They were everything to each other... until silence broke them apart. Now, fate brings them back-richer in pain, poorer in love. But the heart never forgets what the soul once held sacred..." Meher Sharma was once madly in love-with him. A love so deep it lived in her veins, a name whispered like a prayer... Reyaan Malhotra. But life had other plans-plans laced with misunderstandings, shattered promises, and goodbyes that came too soon. She walked away-not because she stopped loving him, but because loving him began to break her. Years passed. Wounds faded. But the scar remained. Now successful, graceful, untouchable-Meher returns to the city she once ran from, only to find herself working across the same man who once held her heart like it was made of glass... Reyaan, however, is no longer the reckless boy with fire in his eyes. He's colder. Calmer. Yet every look he gives her burns just the same. And when their eyes meet again after four years-time stands still, but their hearts? Their hearts still beat... dil ke darmiyaan. Between unsaid apologies and lingering gazes, Between truths buried in silence and love still breathing in shadows... Can two broken hearts learn to beat together again? Or will the ghosts of the past pull them apart... once more? --- ✨ "Kuch rishtey, chhod kar bhi chhute nahi...

DESTINY CURLESS MERCY (BL) by Vanilla_Cherry_42

Aarav Mehra, a 19-year-old second-year business student, lives a life far removed from his true identity. As the heir to one of the country's most powerful business empires, he chooses to hide his surname and legacy, craving a normal college experience, far from the weight of expectations. In the midst of this quiet life, he falls in love for the first time-with Veer Mathur, a boy from an equally elite family. Their bond was real, tender, and hopeful... until the day Aarav finally gathered the courage to reveal his truth. But fate had other plans. Before Aarav could open up, Veer broke his heart. He ended their relationship abruptly, confessing that his parents had arranged his marriage to a girl from their social circle. He didn't want to defy them-and just like that, Aarav's first love story crumbled, leaving him shattered. As he struggled to piece himself back together, a new twist entered his life-his parents proposed a marriage. But not just any alliance-it was with Siddharth Singhania, the enigmatic and reserved heir of the prestigious Singhania family... and Veer Mathur's uncle from his mother's side. Siddharth was a man known for his silence more than his actions, a mystery wrapped in discipline and power. Aarav was left stunned-was this destiny's strange way of healing him, or was it the beginning of a storm he couldn't see coming? Either way, fate had already chosen its path. And Aarav's world was about to change in ways he never imagined. --- WARMING! Indian BL age gap

𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞 by yarawritings

Aadhya Agarwal, 24, a young fashion designer with dreams dipped in red, lives like the warm glow of a diya on a quiet night. She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself. Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home. She wants a real marriage. He gives her a contract instead. No reasons. No explanations. Just rules. But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building. Two strangers. One contract. A house full of tension. A heart full of secrets. A marriage that was never meant to feel this real. Tropes: ✨ arranged marriage ✨ contract marriage ✨ grumpy × sunshine ✨ rich × middle class ✨ fall-first-but-deny-it ✨ slow-burn tension ✨ emotional healing arc
