"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

Woven From Broken Threads by ishkawritesss
30 parts Ongoing Mature
Two lives. One binding thread. A marriage built on everything but trust. Aadrika Rai has learned the hard way-trust is a luxury she cannot afford. Caught in a web of expectations, secrets, and betrayals, she knows that survival means keeping her heart locked away. But when an arranged marriage ties her to Reeyansh Dixit, she finds herself at the mercy of a man who is everything she fears-powerful, perceptive, and dangerously close to unraveling her carefully guarded truths. Reeyansh never believed in second chances. Betrayed by love once, he refuses to let the past define him-or his new wife. In a world where loyalties shift like the wind, he chooses logic over emotion, control over chaos. But Aadrika is unlike anyone he has ever met. Strong yet fragile, distant yet unyielding-she challenges his beliefs at every turn. In a marriage that began as a compromise, will trust ever find a place? Or will the broken threads of their pasts weave a future neither of them expected? What happens when two broken souls, bound by a marriage of convenience, discover a love neither of them ever believed they deserved? A story of strength, second chances, and love that defies expectations. ◉ ◉ ◉ ✿ Aadrika Rai: The only feeling I truly crave and fear to experience: Love. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage without being given any option, having my worst fears come true-of not being truly wanted, loved, or being let down again! The only expectation I have from my ARRANGED WEDDED HUSBAND is to be treated with respect. ✿ Reeyansh Dixit: I don't believe in love-the betrayal I have faced has crushed me too deeply. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage-or more like a business arrangement for me. The only emotion I can give her: Treat her with respect.
