Pretending everything is calm, Willow Iris Andraja carefully tends to her flower shop-her refuge filled with beautiful blooms. Her dream is simple: a garden that would bring peace and color to her world.
She doesn't care what others say about her, nor does she mind how Veyron Kazh Chandler-a stranger who often visits her shop to buy flowers for his mother-looks at her.
In their exchanges of words and quiet smiles, a secret fear lingers in Willow's heart-a fear as fragile as Petals in the Wind, a fear she knows, from the very beginning, could break her.
As their bond slowly blossoms, Willow chooses to face her struggles in silence. She carries her fears alone, hoping for strength yet dreading the pain that may come.
When the time comes that the truth can no longer be hidden, Willow must face her future and the choices before her. Will the colors of her garden remain despite the storm? Or will they fade away, like Petals carried off by the wind?

From Broken To Together
"An arranged marriage is nothing but fate, dressed carefully as destiny." Vedika Anand - a girl born of sunshine, stitched together with laughter, dreams, and an endless stream of words. A chatterbox, a whirlwind of joy, a living festival wherever she walks. She has always believed love to be sacred - "A single soul inhibiting two bodies." But in her heart, love has only existed in the pages of books and in the faces of fictional men she never wanted to leave behind. In reality, she has only tasted the sweet ache of a fleeting crush - a spark so faint that she buried it like a forgotten page in an old storybook. What happens when destiny chooses to bring that forgotten crush back to her? Not as a dream. Not as a choice. But as her husband. Veeransh Singhania - the shadow to her light. Cold, merciless, untouchable. The country's most powerful billionaire bachelor, feared as much as he is respected. The world calls him ruthless. To his family, he is distant. To himself, he is dead. His past is a graveyard of mistakes, and his present is a fortress no one dares to breach. "If love is an eternal act of forgiveness," Then Veeransh refuses to be a fool. Forgiveness is weakness, and weakness has no place in his world. Will Vedika's sunshine be enough to thaw Veeransh's frozen heart? Or will her laughter die in the silence of his indifference? This is not just an arranged marriage. It is a war between life and death. Between faith and fear. Between a girl who believes in love like prayer, and a man who stopped believing in anything at all.
