#Book 1 in "The phoenix veil" series 🪷
Five years ago, Aratrika Tiwari walked away from the Shekhawat mansion-pregnant, heartbroken, and unknowingly still in love. Now, she returns, not as a wife or daughter-in-law, but as a renowned fashion designer with a new name, a guarded heart, and a single rule: never let the past touch her again.
But fate has other plans.
Tasked with designing outfits for the Shekhawat family wedding, Aratrika must navigate the very walls that once witnessed her downfall. And standing at the center of it all is Aarvik Shekhawat-cold, sharp, and dangerously close to uncovering the truth she's fought so hard to bury.
As sparks fly, secrets unravel, and old wounds resurface, Aratrika and Aarvik are forced to confront the love that never truly left-and the pain that never really healed.
Because some love stories don't end... they just pause, waiting for the right chapter.
......
"If you think this is just another story where two broken lovers reunite and fall in love again... then you couldn't be more wrong.
Because what lies ahead isn't healing - it's heartbreak.
What you'll find here isn't just romance - it's betrayal, obsession, and a truth so brutal, it'll leave you shattered.
This isn't your typical second-chance romance.
Because this isn't just about love -
It's about betrayal buried in silence,
Secrets that were never meant to be uncovered,
And a truth so devastating, it could ruin everything.
