Shadows Between Us

He is a mafia.
She is a café worker.
Two strangers from two different worlds-yet bound by fate.

Aaryan, the powerful CEO and a secret government ally, has always walked in the shadows. Feared by his enemies, respected by his allies, he hides his scars behind cold eyes and sharp suits. But when his latest mission leads him to a quiet café on a lonely street, he finds something he never expected-peace in the warmth of an ordinary girl.

Meera is simple. Orphaned young, she built her life from scratch, pouring her heart into brewing coffee and chasing small dreams. To everyone, she's just another face in the crowd-innocent, kind, untouched by the darkness of the world.

But shadows have a way of clinging to people.
And between them lies a secret so dangerous it could destroy them both.                   .                                                                                                                                                                   Because not all monsters hide in the dark.
Some smile behind the counter of a café.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

When Meher Malhotra, a 23-year-old ambitious journalist from Kolkata, lands in Delhi, she never expects her first big case to be a brutal murder. Nor does she expect to cross paths with Kabir Rathore - a man with piercing grey-black eyes, a dangerous reputation, and secrets darker than night. He is everything she hates: arrogant, intimidating, untouchable. She is everything he never wanted: stubborn, reckless, unafraid. They despise each other at first glance. Yet destiny keeps pulling them back - to the same case, the same shadows, the same fire. Every answer Meher uncovers ties back to Kabir. Every truth she reveals leaves her questioning: is he the villain... or the only man who can save her? As Meher digs deeper, she realizes the truth isn't written in black and white - it's soaked in scarlet. And in the midst of blood and betrayal, hate begins to blur into passion. But desire is dangerous, and secrets don't stay buried forever. In a city where every secret has a price, how much will she pay for the truth? And what if the man she should fear the most... is the only one her heart desires?
