✨ A Story of Love, Legacy, and Forgiveness**
**When school rivals Ema Verma and Luke Malhotra are forced to work together, sparks fly - but not the romantic kind... at first.**
Ema is sharp, independent, and emotionally guarded. Luke is confident, charming, and hiding scars beneath his smirk. What begins as a cold war of sarcasm and silent glares soon turns into reluctant respect - and then something much deeper.
But their hearts are caught in a war far older than their own story.
Ema's father once broke the heart of Luke's stepmother, Meera - a betrayal that shattered a family and left wounds that never fully healed. As Ema and Luke grow closer, they must navigate through secrets, parental pain, and a legacy of distrust.
Will their bond survive the bitterness of the past? Or will history repeat itself through them?
**In a tale where enemies become lovers and old wounds demand closure, *Tangled Fates* is a heartfelt journey of redemption, truth, and two teens who dare to rewrite their story - together

Shut Up! I Love You!
Allison Waters has her entire high school life planned out-perfect grades, student council presidency, and absolutely no distractions. That is, until the school's biggest slacker, Nikolai Anderson, is suddenly forced to work with her. Nikolai is everything Allison can't stand-lazy, irresponsible, and far too smug for his good. He seems to enjoy annoying her at every opportunity, turning every interaction into a game of wits. But when their teachers decide that Nikolai needs to mature, he's assigned to help plan the Valentine's Day dance alongside Allison. Now, they're stuck together-choosing decorations, managing budgets, and spending way too much time in each other's presence. At first, Allison is convinced it's going to be a nightmare. But as they're forced to work side by side, she starts to see a different side of Nikolai-one that's funny, kind, and surprisingly thoughtful. Before she knows it, she doesn't hate his presence as much as she thought. Maybe she even enjoys it. But just as things begin to shift, rumors start spreading-ones that make Allison question everything she thought she knew about Nikolai. Betrayal stings, and suddenly, the growing connection between them shatters. With the Valentine's dance approaching and the truth finally coming to light, will Allison be able to let go of her pride and admit how she feels? And will Nikolai prove that he's more than just a class clown?Complete![𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐈 [𝖳𝗁𝖾 𝖨𝗇𝗇𝗈𝖼𝖾𝗇𝗍 𝖫𝗈𝗏𝖾] (Duet #1)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/355057092-256-k912298.jpg)

The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars.
