They were fire and starlight once -Diya, the radiant sunshine girl who lit every hallway she walked through, and Kushal, the sharp-tongued golden boy who loved her too silently... and maybe too destructively.

Then came the fire.
The betrayal.
And the lie that buried it all.

Now, years later, fate draws them back to the place they swore they'd never return: Rayangarh.

Diya is no longer soft. Her light has sharpened into ice.
Kushal has secrets under his skin and scars he never speaks of.
And someone - someone who was supposed to be dead - is leaving behind letters, burned photos, and whispers that feel too alive.

As memories resurface and lies peel away, the truth becomes undeniable:

The fire never ended.
It just moved inside them.

Tense, atmospheric, and deeply emotional, Beneath the Ashes is a slow-burn, love turned dangerous, truth buried beneath guilt, and two hearts that keep finding each other - even when they shouldn't.

For readers who crave stormy chemistry, emotional depth, and love stories born in the shadows.All Rights Reserved

Ruvya: The Shadow Of Eras by Moonlightwritez1

Do roohon ka safar, sadiyon se juda, Waqt ke dariya mein bhi, na toota unka rishta. Kismat ke khel mein, milte hain har dafa, Samay badalta rahe, par mohabbat wahi rahe sada. -------------- He is a calm yet magnetic prince, admired for his grace, feared for his silence, and respected for his wisdom. A man who has everything-power, charm, and strength-yet keeps his heart locked away, refusing to believe in the fragile illusion called love. To him, emotions were distractions, and love was nothing but a weakness. But then she arrived. She was light where he was shadow. She was fire where he was calm.Where he was silence, she was laughter. Where he was guarded, she was free.Without even realizing it, she stepped into his world and rewrote his destiny. She became the rhythm of his heart, the reason behind his unspoken smiles, and the bond he never thought he needed. For him, she was not just a fleeting presence-she became his entire world. She had always believed life was ordinary, until he walked in and painted it with colors she didn't know her soul craved. Her smiles became brighter with him, her laughter freer, her heart lighter. Yet, destiny had its own plan... Two souls born in different worlds, yet tied together by a fate older than time itself. Their meeting was no coincidence; it was the silent whisper of destiny, calling them toward each other. But what they did not know was that their love would be tested beyond imagination-through centuries, across lifetimes, and in the cruel game of time and fate. Yet the question remains- Would their bond survive when the universe itself tries to pull them apart? Or was their love destined to become a tale written in stars-eternal, but never complete? This is not just a love story. It is the story of two souls traveling across eras, rewriting history, defying destiny, and discovering that sometimes, even time must bow before love.

Thorns and Roses ||18+ by darkcore_004

Four best friends. One wedding. A reunion that was never meant to happen. Time changed everything. But not their pasts. Not the glances that still sting. Not the love that never really left. One waits for her, clinging to a love that never faded. One fights for her, determined to rewrite their story. One heals her, gently stitching together the pieces of her broken heart. And one changes for her, showing his soft side. but some hearts aren't easy to win back. In a place where every smile hides a secret, And every touch feels like betrayal- Will they find their way back to each other? Or will destiny watch them fall apart, all over again?

Muraad~e~Siya by AnonymouslyMehram

~ A story as a Poetry itself ~ MURAAD SIDDIQUI "He never touched the flame. He simply waited for it to burn its way to him." Born into power, raised in shadows, Muraad Siddiqui was promised a bride before he could even tie his shoelaces - a girl he'd never met, but whose name sounded like poetry: Siya. While the world handed him legacy, influence, and control, he built a life around the only thing he never chose but always wanted. By the time she stepped into his haveli, still a child in uniform, he had already crafted a world where she was the centre. But love like his is not tender. It's sharp. Unvoiced. Unholy. Because how do you love someone who sees you as a stranger, when you've lived every breath for them? He stays close-but silent. Present-but untouchable. Not because he can't confess. But because what he feels could undo her entire world. SIYA RAGHUVANSHI "She was signed away with a pen. And now she lives in a palace she never asked for, but still always dreamed of-with a man whose eyes know too much." All Siya wanted was to study literature, hide behind her books, and lose herself in fictional darkness. But instead, she was unknowingly married off at fifteen - not out of love, but a centuries-old debt of honour. Now, she lives in Siya Mahel, a haunting haveli, filled with whispers, strange rituals, and one devastatingly silent man who keeps rubbing her feet every night as she falls asleep. She doesn't know what binds them. She doesn't understand why he flinches every time she asks him questions. Or why his gaze is both a prayer and a punishment. All she knows is that her life isn't hers anymore... And the one man who seems to care, is the one she fears the most. ~ One haveli. Two families tied by silence. Seven sacred stages of love. And a birth from shadows. Love is a blessing. But what if it's also a sentence you can't escape. This isn't a story. It's a rebellion sealed in sindoor and blood. ~~

Unknown to her, she is Celestial Phoenix,a primordial force of fire and rebirth-reborn each era to restore balance when chaos threatens to consume both the human and supernatural realms. But standing in her way is Lucian, a powerful demon warrior raised in darkness, bound by duty to stop her from fulfilling a prophecy that could unravel his world. Their paths were destined to clash... yet fate weaves their destinies tighter with every battle, every glance, every choice. As secrets from their families' pasts surface truths of love, betrayal, and sacrifice-Rayna and Lucian must decide: Will they be the spark that saves their kind-or the fire that consumes it all?

The New Girl ~ A Stark Exposure (Duet 2) by shallexia

𝑰 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆, 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕. ⋆ ── ⋆ ── ⋆ He looked at her, drained and desperate, his voice a quiet plea. "Just tell me now... what is all this?" For a moment, she stayed still, like silence was her last shield. Then she exhaled, broken and tired. "I tried to hide it," she said softly, "but you wouldn't let me." ⋆ ── ⋆ ── ⋆ Truths are louder than secrets, merciless, burning, and impossible to unsee. He had once lived far from chaos, untouched by shadows he couldn't name. But the moment she walked in, everything shifted. She didn't just carry secrets, she became the storm that held them back. Now, the calm has broken. He tried to walk away but some obsessions didn't die. His heart may have shattered the day she left, but his resolve stayed sharp. The questions she buried beneath silence never stopped haunting him. So he followed them, every fractured breadcrumb, every forgotten whisper. But what awaited him wasn't closure. It was destruction. Lethal, consuming, and nothing like he imagined. She had tried to shield him. Fought with silence, with distance, with every piece of strength she had left. But she couldn't stop him from stepping into her world. A world she had spent years trying to escape. And when the dust finally settled, when the damage was done and truth lay bare, she vanished once more. This time, she left no trace. Only the ache of unfinished stories and a man still waiting for the girl who had become both his ruin and his reason. They will meet again, after time, after distance, after everything. But when they do, nothing will be the same. Because some love stories don't unfold. They circle back. And begin again. ••• This is NOT a standalone book.
