Rania Langi builds her life in silence - one campaign, one compromise, one heartbreak at a time. When her name is dragged into rumors about a man with too much history and too little tenderness left to give, she retreats. But love, like memory, never really dies. It lingers in text messages. In half-finished conversations that ache louder than any goodbye.
Adrian Basuki is a diplomat with decades of discipline - until her. Years after their quiet beginning, they find themselves again in Jakarta, changed and weathered. Older. Wiser. Still burning.
A story about restraint, survival, and quiet intimacy, Mutual Recognition is a portrait of two people whose love outlasts their own certainty.

Between the spotlights (On Hold)
# Book 2 of the "Between" series. Sitara Varadhan never intended to chase fame. A quiet medical student with a love for storytelling, she stumbles into acting by chance-and unexpectedly lands the lead in a major film. Her co-star? Ashwin, a charismatic actor making his return after a long hiatus. They're strangers at first. But as the cameras roll and their on-screen chemistry deepens, the lines between performance and emotion begin to blur. What starts as awkward silence turns into quiet companionship, shared music, and viral moments neither of them saw coming. Sitara, introverted and cautious, must navigate a world of lights, scrutiny, and emotions she never meant to feel. And Ashwin-still healing from a past he keeps buried-finds himself drawn to something far more real than a scripted romance. Behind the flashing cameras, two guarded hearts are learning to open up. Between fame, fear, and fragile beginnings-can something real survive the spotlight? A slow-burn story of love, friendship, and rediscovering yourself-Between the Spotlights.
Still yours, after all this time
A slow-burn, second-chance, forbidden-but-undeniable Indian romance. When Sita Singh returns as the wedding planner for a lavish family shaadi, she doesn't expect to collide with the man she once left behind. Vivaan Singh Rathore Sharp. Silent. Stubborn. And still the only person who's ever made her forget the ground beneath her feet. Four years ago, she walked away to choose herself. Now, he's everywhere - in the halls, the glances, the moments that burn too long and say too much. What begins with stolen looks and teasing under marigold-draped corridors quickly spirals into late-night confessions, locked doors, half-finished kisses, and the kind of love that doesn't ask permission to return. But old wounds don't disappear just because new desires rise. And in a house full of eyes, expectations, and endless rituals - can two people with unfinished history find the courage to rewrite their ending? Not every wedding is about the bride and groom. Some are about the people who swore they'd never fall again - and do.Complete
The Other Side | LINGORM
Two people. One notebook. A love that defies time. When Orm moves into a quiet Bangkok condo to escape the noise of fame, she finds an old notebook tucked in a drawer. She writes in it on a whim. She doesn't expect a reply. But one comes, from Lingling, the woman who was supposed to be her co-star. A woman who should be dead. As notes cross timelines and hearts open, song by song, the two begin to fall for each other, without ever knowing they already had something real. Something stolen before it ever had a chance to begin. What if the love of your life fell for you.. after you were already gone? --- The usual disclaimer: The characters are obviously inspired by LingOrm, and there might be references to real-life events, but the story is purely fictional. English is not my first language, so my apologies for any potential mistakes. Peace and Love, JKRs :) PS: This story has a little.. magic. --- If you want to say hi, I'm on X: @yjkr94_LOComplete

Only You.
Only You. Six years ago, Shaurya vanished without a word. No goodbyes, no explanations-just silence that shattered Ruhani's world. Now, fate drags them back into the same orbit in a sprawling Indian wedding where laughter, secrets, and unspoken glances collide. He's no longer the carefree boy she once knew-he's colder, sharper, hiding shadows she can't reach. She's no longer the girl who waited-she's built her walls, but his presence cracks every one of them. Between stolen moments on crowded rooftops, a dance that burns with unfinished love, and the weight of a dangerous past that refuses to stay buried, Ruhani and Shaurya must face the truth: some ties never fade, no matter how hard you try to cut them. Is their love strong enough to survive secrets, jealousy, and the storm waiting at their door-or are they destined to remain unfinished forever? A story of missed chances, second glances, and a love that refuses to die. It's my first attempt to write, please give it a read and a review and let me know if you guys want to know more! Please be kind & hope you enjoy it! 🥺♥️ *Cover image not mine. Credit to the original creator.

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.
