Anika wants nothing more than quiet. Meera has built her life on it.
When their paths cross in a remote cottage, silence begins to shift-no longer empty, but charged with what neither dares to name.

Haunted by old love and betrayal, Meera resists the pull of Anika's gentleness. But as days unfold in gardens, rainstorms, and candlelit nights, the distance between them thins.

Slow-burning and luminous, Second Bloom is a story of grief, intimacy, and the fragile courage it takes to let someone in-and to stay when the heart is asked again to bloom.

𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 by author_shravani

🪞 #𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟎𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 She wasn't saved. She was handed over quietly, cruelly, like a secret no one wanted to keep. Nitya was soft. Too soft for a world that carved love out of manipulation and called it care. Raised under a roof where tenderness was twisted and silence was survival, she learned that obedience was the only way to stay invisible. Especially when your own mother becomes the mask behind your undoing. So when Nitya is married off, not for love, not even for tradition, but for control she doesn't protest. She folds. Like she always has. Avayan didn't ask for her. He's all edges and ice unreadable, untouchable, and emotionally void. He only said yes because it was expected of him. But something changes in the stillness. Moments pass. And in between the ones where she's breaking quietly are the ones where someone stays. Not to rescue her. Not to hold her. Just to remain. And somehow, between the words left unsaid and the glances not meant to linger, a slow, aching tenderness begins to rise not loud, not sudden but real. This isn't a story of perfect love. This isn't a story of grand gestures or sudden passion. It's a slow, haunting unraveling - of a girl who was barely even hers, Yet, in a marriage built on duty, can desire turn into something more? Can Nitya find the courage to claim her place beside the man who teases and torments her with a tenderness she never knew she craved? And will Avayan, who never believed in love, realize that she was meant to be his all along? A slow-burning tension, stolen moments, and a love that was never supposed to happen-but refuses to be ignored. A quiet beginning. A burning middle. A love that doesn't save her- but teaches her how to choose herself, and him, at the same time. And the man who unknowingly teaches her how to belong to herself.

The Silent Wounds by msjasly

Some souls are born under gentle skies, bathed in love and warmth. Meera was not one of them. Her world had always been cold and unwelcoming. Sent away to live under her grandmother's care, she grew up amidst cruelty. She was harassed, abused - the bruises invisible to the world, the loneliness louder than her cries. Life did not ease its grip as she grew older. Her marriage became just another prison. Her husband's words cut like knives, his hands heavy with rage. The day she learned the truth behind her marriage, her fragile hopes shattered completely. After years of being treated like a doormat, Meera finally chose freedom over chains. Divorce was not a new beginning - it was merely the end of one battle and the start of another: the fight to piece herself back together. Meera's journey became one of finding slivers of light in the deepest darkness... of discovering that sometimes, the love we yearn for most comes from the worlds we create within ourselves. She didn't know if her own "happily ever after" truly existed but she longed for the day when the man she adored in fiction might somehow step into her reality and hold her as tenderly as he held the love in his story. Will Meera ever find her happily ever after?

A Love Twisted by Fate by adinats1531

Love is often painted as pure, gentle, and kind. But what if love is obsessive? Dangerous? Unforgiving? Two souls. Two stories. One fate. Arjun Rajvanshi--a bright and charismatic young man with an exceptional mind for business with 6'2" in height and has a whitish complexion with a 5 0' clock shadow. As the CEO of his family's company, he is admired for his sharp decision-making and dedication. However, he has trust issues, a trait developed from years of dealing with deceit in the corporate world. It took time for him to trust others, and only a few were allowed to see the softer side of him. Jhanvi Shekhawat--gentle, innocent, and selfless .She is 5'4" in height with a white cream complexion . Known for her understanding nature, She always puts others before herself, offering support and kindness even when she struggled with her own emotions. Their families are business partners, and their bond extended beyond professional ties. But the one choice he thought was right turned his life into something else entirely. Now, haunted by regrets and secrets he cannot confess, he finds himself drawn into a love he should have seen all along. But love isn't simple. It never is. As the past begins to unravel, revealing hidden betrayals, deadly secrets, and dangerous obsessions, Jhanvi and Arjun must confront the truth-not just about each other, but about themselves. What happens when the ones who were supposed to protect you are the ones who destroy you? What happens when love turns into something far darker than anyone ever imagined? Some love stories are meant to be written in forever. Others are written in blood, secrets, and revenge. If you want to read --slow burn romance, emotional healing, character development, revenge, hidden truths, secrets and with some possessiveness and obsession. This is for you.

Every Flame | ✔️ by akiimarvelous

❝Our love douses us in flames. It's terrible and deep and wingless, but I'll burn here if you burn here too.❞ ───※ ·❆· ※─── Kabir and Meher Two polar opposites; or that's what they think they are. They are both burning in the pain of love. Where one is aware of the other's pain, the other absolutely has no idea what the former has been through. Both are opaque as a thick mist, nobody can ever figure out what is going on in their mind. It is their favourite hobby to avoid each other. Because if they are together, there will be nothing but ashes. But when they're thrown into a marriage of convenience, it takes every fibre of their souls to hold back the new emotions that they feel towards each other. With a killer on the loose, their dangling relationship takes a test of time as the past rises up from the dead. Well, the results are just as similar to their dynamics- intense and full of heartbreaks. Will the flames burn what they already have or give rise to something new?

Between The Stars by shahida_shekarau

At just 21, Nana Firdausi Abdulhamid is already divorced, a single mother, and exhausted by a world that keeps demanding more of her while offering so little in return. Her whole life has been shaped by rules she didn't write, rules that told her to endure, to stay quiet, to never stop pleasing... even when it hurt. Especially when it hurt. She's not waiting to be saved. She just wants to breathe. Then comes Nabil Hasan Garko, quiet, composed, and completely uninvited. He doesn't offer to fix her. He doesn't see her as broken. He simply enters, like he already belonged in the empty spaces she thought were too messy for anyone to stay. Around him, she feels seen in a way that terrifies her. She hates that he makes her feel safe. She hates how her heart trusts him without asking her permission. Because she's promised herself never to love again not when loving once nearly destroyed her. But Nabil is not what she expected. And love... this kind of love doesn't shout. It whispers. It listens. It stays. Between the Stars is a tender, slow-burning love story about choosing yourself, unlearning pain, and discovering that the right person doesn't ask you to shrink they make room for you to grow.

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.
