In Between the Silence by _Kritika_Singh_

Aditya Rathore is a brilliant surgeon-disciplined, successful, and emotionally reserved. Ishika Singh is a goal-driven software engineer-shy, chubby, and fiery when pushed. When they enter into an arranged marriage, neither expects fireworks. For a year, they coexist-sharing a home, not a life. Words are few, emotions fewer. But when career pressures mount, insecurities rise, and unexpected challenges shake their fragile dynamic, something begins to shift. A jealous glance, a quiet act of support, a soft word when it matters-slowly, their walls begin to crack. As misunderstandings, family expectations, and professional storms threaten to pull them apart, they're forced to confront a truth neither can ignore: they might be strangers on paper, but something deeper has always been waiting to grow between them. A story of slow-burn love, emotional vulnerability, and two imperfect people learning to choose each other every single day-In Between the Silence is a heartwarming journey of connection, courage, and the quiet beauty of becoming.

Still Yours by talesofJA

Years ago, they were bound by a mistake called marriage. Too young to understand love, too proud to stay. They walked away , carrying the scars, the silence, and a story left unfinished. Now, after years apart, Arjun and Avantika stand on opposite ends of success , independent, unstoppable, and untouched by the past... or so they believe. But fate is never done playing its game. One unexpected meeting and all the walls they built begin to tremble. This time, there are no childish promises. No anger. No blame. Just two broken souls, learning to love the right way , the adult way , with patience, depth, and the kind of longing that never really dies. Maybe this is what destiny always meant .... not the love they lost, but the one they were meant to grow into. A story of second chances, healing hearts, and a love reborn in its most mature form. "They were too young to love right. Now fate gives them one last chance."

Tied By Fate by Anvi_Rayne

Anvitha has spent her life being the strong one-the one who never asked for love, but always secretly longed for it. Rudra has lived his life falling in love with every girl he met... but never staying long enough to feel anything real. When an unexpected twist forces them into marriage, neither is ready. Not for the silence. Not for the closeness. And definitely not for what follows. She builds walls to protect her heart. He makes it his mission to understand every crack in them. What begins as a compromise slowly becomes something neither of them expected-a connection too gentle to ignore, and too fragile to name. They weren't meant to fall in love. But fate had other plans. A slow-burn, heart-tangled romance about broken timing, unexpected warmth, and love that arrives quietly... but stays loudly.

Sadhna's Devotion by sadhna_070

When Arjun Rajvansh meets Sadhna Yadav, sparks fly! She was meant to marry a man her family chosen... but fate had already chosen another.

When the truth about Rohan's betrayal explodes in front of everyone, Sadhna faces not just heartbreak but public humiliation - blamed for her looks, her body, her worth. Just when the world turns against her, Arjun Rajvansh, her quiet protector and the man she never dared to dream of... takes a stand that shocks everyone. "The groom has changed. The wedding is still on." One decision. One vow. And a marriage neither of them expected - but both were destined for. A story of childhood promises and twisted fate 🔥 If you believe love isn't always planned - but always meant - Sadhna's Devotion is your next read.

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

When You Weren't Looking by bookishxrich

Set in early 2000s India, this is a slow-burn romance of unsaid feelings, stubborn silences, and hearts that take their time to fall. "I have loved you since I was six." But I never told him. Because he was my best friend's brother. Because he was eight years older. Because he never looked at me the way I looked at him. Years passed. I never moved on. Not even a little. And then... he came back-older, colder, and wearing a police uniform. Then, I did the one thing I never dared before. I wrote him a letter. A letter full of everything I had buried inside me for years. He read it. And broke my heart with five quiet words: "You are not my type." But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humour. One letter. One rejection. And one arranged marriage proposal later, suddenly, I'm his fiancée. He asked me to say no. I said yes.
