" In the heart of darkness , love finds its light" VEERANSHU: "In a world where brutality was my currency and compassion a foreign concept, she came like a tempest, shattering the walls around my heart. She showed me that even in the depths of darkness, a flicker of love could ignite a flame of redemption. Through her eyes, I saw the possibility of a different life, where the scars of my past could be healed by the tenderness of her touch." _________________________________________ AMAYA: "I was just a simple girl, unnoticed and unloved in the shadows of life's chaos. Then he came, like a storm in the night, disrupting everything I knew. Despite the danger he carried, I found solace in his embrace, and in his eyes, I discovered a love I never thought possible. He showed me that even the most broken souls are worthy of love, and in loving him, I found the strength to heal my own shattered heart." _________________________________________ Author's note: "A man who never loved anyone, a girl who was never been loved by anyone." "In the tapestry of fate, their paths intertwined, weaving a story of love born from the most unlikely of circumstances. Their love defied expectations, challenging the norms of their world and proving that even the most hardened hearts can be softened by the gentle touch of affection. In each other's arms, they found refuge from the storms of life, a sanctuary where their love could flourish against all odds." **********

His Replaced Bride by DivineRedElegance

1 in #India 12 in #arrangedmarriage "You're mine, Jeea. Don't ever forget that." His voice is a siren, enchanting me, making me dizzy with the need to be close to him. "I know, Mr. Rathore. And you're mine." I peck his lips and he squeezes my neck in return. I can still feel the embers of his angry, lying just below the surface of his skin. "Always, jaan. It's a pleasure to be yours." His lips meet mine in a slow kiss which quickly turns into something passionate, neither of us willing to back down. I take his anger that he drowns into this kiss and show him my love in return. * Jeea Mehta has always lived in the shadow of her perfect older sister. But when a twist of fate forces her to marry Dhruv Singh Rathore-a wealthy, enigmatic man who was once promised to her sister-Jeea finds herself caught in a marriage she never wanted and a life she doesn't understand. But Dhruv is not an easy man to please. He's distant, ruthless, and heartbreakingly unattainable. And yet, beneath his icy exterior, Jeea glimpses something more-something that makes her heart betray her at every turn. As hidden truths unravel and undeniable chemistry ignites, Jeea finds herself caught in a dangerous game of love and resentment. Because while she was never meant to be his bride... she might just become something even more unexpected-his weakness. #1 in chicklit #1 in forcedrelationship

Loving The Liar by Aruvi_R

Previously known as 'My Identity'. Dangerous, whip-smart and drop dead gorgeous Aadhya had a goal to reach, for which, she'd crossed her all her limits. But her life came crashing down on the day she was merely inches away from achieving her goal and three days later, she found herself on a hospital bed, with all her memories wiped off. The only thing she recalled was her name and an 'oh-so-real' nightmare that she saw before waking up. Before she could wrap her thoughts around what was happening and where she was, a devilishly charming man with cute dimples and captivating bluish-green orbs appeared in front of her, claiming to be her fiancé. There was definitely an undeniable chemistry and heart to heart connection between them. But she'd only lost her memories, not her common sense that she couldn't see through the lies he was spewing, especially after seeing his efforts of keeping her away from the real world. The adventurous Aadhya decided to pitch in her heart and play the love game along with the Liar himself. Will Aadhya will the game or will she lose it all, along with her heart to him?
