"He was everything I wasn't ready for... and everything I didn't know I needed."
When 23-year-old Abhishek Sharma is sent from India to Australia for an arranged marriage to someone he's never met - he doesn't expect it to be Pat Cummins.
Pat - 32, calm, closed-off, cricket royalty.
Abhishek - younger, fiery, too full of emotion and unspoken pain.
What begins as a cold, silent arrangement slowly unravels into something tender... and heartbreaking.
Through quiet mornings, unspoken misunderstandings, cultural clashes, jealous glances, and sleepless nights - they begin to see each other in the spaces between the silence.
But love was never part of the plan.
And falling for someone who was supposed to be just a name on a paper?
It's dangerous.
It's forbidden.
It's inevitable.
- A slow-burn, deeply emotional journey of two husbands learning how to love, how to stay, and how to choose each other... even when the world feels like it never meant for them to be.
💔🌿 If you love emotional tension, arranged marriage tropes, quiet love stories, and characters who slowly fall - this story is for you.
i am writing this Book because i can't find some really good ones about them so I dicided to write one myself
so whoever will read this book hope you enjoy this
