📖 Book Description:
"We're just pretending... right?"
When Priya, a quiet girl with a not-so-quiet crush, is offered the chance of a lifetime - to fake date her longtime idol, star cricketer Shubman Gill, as part of a PR strategy - she signs the contract with trembling hands and a guarded heart.
She knows it's fake.
He makes sure to remind her every time they meet.
Cold. Distant. Untouchable.
The Shubman Gill she faces isn't the charming boy she'd adored from afar - he's businesslike, blunt, and emotionally locked up. And Priya? She hides her heartbreak behind zipped jackets, short replies, and a promise to herself: don't fall any deeper.
But the more they pretend, the more real it begins to feel.
In the silences. In the stolen glances. In the text messages they never talk about.
He told her not to read into it.
She said she wouldn't.
But love doesn't always follow the rules.
Especially when it starts where it was never supposed to exist.
"Act Like U Love Me" is a slow-burn, emotionally layered fangirl fiction filled with distance, denial, and the kind of quiet ache that lingers long after the last page. For everyone who's ever loved someone from afar and wondered - what if he loved me too?

Drafting The Heartline - ON HOLD
A Shubman Gill Fanfiction When BCCI plans to revamp its global image ahead of the much-hyped ODI series in Australia, they appoint Inara Chopra, a 25-year-old award-winning creative director known for her bold, emotion-driven campaigns. With a clean aesthetic, sharp vision, and zero tolerance for ego, Inara is the kind of woman who doesn't get dazzled easily-especially not by celebrities. Enter Shubman Gill-India's young batting sensation, recently appointed ODI vice-captain, and the face of the new campaign. Confident on the field but surprisingly guarded off it, Shubman isn't used to someone challenging his every idea... until Inara walks into the BCCI headquarters with her storyboard and calm defiance. What begins as a professional collaboration for a high-profile design and digital storytelling campaign soon turns into something far more layered-late-night brainstorming sessions, behind-the-scenes shoots in Sydney and Melbourne, and unexpected moments of quiet vulnerability between them. As Inara crafts the narrative of "The Blue Rising"-a campaign meant to show the heart behind the men in blue-she finds herself seeing the human side of cricket that fans never do. And Shubman? He discovers that maybe the person capable of redesigning the team's story might also be the one rewriting his own. But with the Australian tour bringing fame, pressure, and public scrutiny, both of them will have to decide what's worth protecting-their reputations or the connection quietly building between them.

almost, Always.
A Shubman Gill fanfiction There are some people you never really get over. Not because you still love them-sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But because what happened between you and them carved something so deep, even time walks around it carefully. For Rhea Merchant, Shubman Gill was that person. They weren't just college sweethearts-they were gravity. He was the rising cricket star with charm, ambition, and the world at his feet. She was the fiercely intelligent psychology major who saw past his fame and into the boy beneath. Their love was built in libraries, whispered during bus rides to outstation matches, and sealed under moonlit rooftops in Delhi. The kind of love people wrote poetry about. Until it broke. Until a scandal exploded that nearly destroyed Shubman's career, and all the evidence pointed to the one person he trusted most: Rhea. She didn't defend herself. He didn't ask twice. Six years passed like strangers walking in opposite directions on a crowded street-close enough to remember, far enough to forget. Now, their paths collide again in South Africa, where Shubman is vice-captain of Team India and Rhea is flown in last-minute as a sports psychologist to manage rising anxiety cases within the squad. They meet in a hotel hallway. A glance. A pause. And then- She walks past like he's air. He doesn't even flinch. But beneath the surface, memories smolder. The silence between them is not absence-it's tension, bruised trust, and unsaid apologies wrapped in ego. As they're forced into shared spaces, media storms, and high-stakes matches, old wounds crack open. Rhea discovers the truth behind the betrayal she never cleared. And Shubman realizes the weight of the silence he never broke. They say time heals everything. But time never healed them. Because what they had wasn't just love. It was almost. Always.Concluida
Affair Of The Heart
Love is something one can't control or suppress. You fell in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. "Why it is so wrong if i want you...?" Shubman asked as his eyes shows nothing but vulnerability. "Because what you want is impossible!....we can't, we can never, it's a sin..." Ishan replied while sobbing miserably. "Is it because we both are boys?" Shubman asked as he stepped closer to trembling boy. To which ishan shook his head as his whole body trembled because of crying so hard. "You clearly now WHY..." He replied before running away from there while wiping his tears. Shubman stare at his retreating back before kneeling down on floor as he let out a heart wrenching scream. "Is it my fault that i fell for you, baby?! What Pathetic game are you playing with me god?!" Shubman let out a chuckle of self mockery as tears continue falling from his eyes. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• this book is a work of imagination. so please dont feel offended as I don't own any characters. Let's hope this book don't get deleted. Finger crossed 🤞.Concluida
Boundaries Of The Heart ❤️
She wasn't a celebrity. She wasn't an influencer. She was just Vanya Suryavanshi-a 19-year-old college girl who had spent her life supporting her younger brother, Vaibhav, from the sidelines as he rose to become cricket's newest sensation. But fate had other plans the day she crossed paths with Shubman Gill-India's most promising cricketer and every fangirl's dream-during an IPL match between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. What started as a chance meeting through Shubman's vibrant sister Shahneel, slowly turned into late-night conversations, unexpected airport encounters, quiet glances across stadiums... and feelings neither of them saw coming. With Vaibhav's career on the rise, Shubman's fame peaking, and the world watching their every move-can two people from such different lives fall in love quietly, without the noise of headlines and gossip? Set against the backdrop of cricket stadiums, press conferences, team tours, and growing friendships-with Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma stirring the chaos and Shahneel cheering from the sidelines-this is a story of love that blooms in between matches, miles, and moments. In a world full of spotlight... He found peace in her silence. She found home in his eyes. Some love stories aren't made in stadiums. They begin beyond the boundary line. ---
Blueprints and Boundaries
A Shubman Gill fanfiction Cricket was more than a sport in India. It was religion, rhythm, routine. It echoed through living rooms, spilled out of tea stalls, and stopped traffic when a six soared over the boundary. Shubman Gill was its golden boy - calm under pressure, camera-loved, his bat writing headlines before he even spoke. To millions, he was a phenomenon. But fame, as he'd learned, could be loud and lonely. Every cheer came with expectation. Every silence, a judgment. In the game, he found glory. Off the field, he often lost himself. Saisha Arora lived on the opposite end of that spectrum. No cameras. No chaos. Just ancient forts, faded frescoes, and sandstone walls that held secrets older than the game itself. A heritage conservation architect, Saisha believed in preservation - of history, of silence, of self. Where others saw rubble, she saw resilience. She had no time for celebrity culture, viral headlines, or boys with stadiums screaming their name. So when she found herself dragged to a stadium - surrounded by painted faces and cricket hysteria - she didn't expect anything. Certainly not to meet him. But fate has its own timing. And sometimes, love arrives not with grand declarations, but with stolen glances and unexpected collisions. This is the story of two people from opposite worlds - Of match days and monument walks, Of headlines and heritage, Of a chase that had nothing to do with runs - and everything to do with finding someone who made you stop. Because not all love stories begin in the spotlight. Some begin in the silence between the cheers.Concluida
