When You Weren't Looking
Set in early 2000s India, this is a slow-burn romance of unsaid feelings, stubborn silences, and hearts that take their time to fall. "I have loved you since I was six." But I never told him. Because he was my best friend's brother. Because he was eight years older. Because he never looked at me the way I looked at him. Years passed. I never moved on. Not even a little. And then... he came back-older, colder, and wearing a police uniform. Then, I did the one thing I never dared before. I wrote him a letter. A letter full of everything I had buried inside me for years. He read it. And broke my heart with five quiet words: "You are not my type." But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humour. One letter. One rejection. And one arranged marriage proposal later, suddenly, I'm his fiancée. He asked me to say no. I said yes.

Nasaza
Aadesh was expecting a soft romance. The one which he read about in books, the one which swept him off his feet and made him feel alive. The one that took his breath away. Instead, the new boy at school finds that his classmate was emotionally sponsored by Gotham city. His little devil did have the ability to take his breath away. Literally. The girl with the secrets she so desperately tries to hide. The girl with the blade she holds so lovingly against his neck. The girl who's blood spills as if it has a mind of its own, trying to lead astray the curious into forests with dangers she's curated herself.' He didn't want to be in her life, not with her secretive, psychopathic tendencies. Not with his heart beating out of his chest for reasons he couldn't fathom. But somehow, he was. And came with her the dream package. The guy who jokes like nothing matters, patches people up while inventing new expletives, and somehow always ends up right in the middle of things he claims he doesn't care about. The boy who believes in doing the "right thing," even when it's messy, inconvenient, and emotionally expensive, and still stands his ground like it's a personal religion. And that one doll. Soft edges and controlled silence, like satin wrapped around something sharp. She doesn't raise her voice, she doesn't need to. She moves people without them noticing they've been moved, leaves questions instead of answers, and somehow always stays just outside the reach of certainty. Aadesh Malhotra was expecting he'd live a normal life. But curiosity did kill the cat. (or that one time when wannabe golden retriever detective fell for the girl who could make 'good morning' sound mildly threatening.)
Quarantined Hearts

But thanks to a global pandemic and some helpful family interference, they both end up back in their hometown. Does this unexpected case of quarantine bring their hearts closer, softening the edges of all those old misunderstandings? Or will being forced together test their patience to the edge before they try to kill each other in the process? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale packed with awkward tension, hilarious family moments, and just enough cozy charm to steal your heart.

He didn't hate love - he just didn't believe in the kind that fades. She wasn't just sunshine - she was the storm wrapped in warmth. Reyansh keeps his heart guarded, not out of fear, but because he's seen too many people settle for less than real. Quiet, intense, and unapologetically blunt, he never imagined someone could get under his skin. Until Aadhya. She's chaos in pastel. Bold, warm, and completely unfazed by his cold shoulder. A girl who doesn't need saving - but somehow makes him want to be better. She doesn't wait to be chosen; she makes her own space in the world - and maybe in his life too. They were never supposed to collide. But hearts don't ask before they crash. ✨ A slow-burn story of soft glances, sharp words, and the kind of love that feels like home - even when it hurts. Tropes - ✯ Grumpy x Sunshine ✯ CEO x CEO ✯ Slow Burn Romance ✯ Possessive MMC and Ignorant FMC ✯ He fell first... ✯ Soft Banter ✯ Touch her and see the hell. ✯ Spicy
