🖤Blurb:
Aarav Kapoor is every headline's favorite disaster - a Bollywood prince with a taste for trouble and a smile that sells sin. He drinks, fights, flirts, and dares the world to look away. But when one reckless night nearly costs him everything, his father hires the only woman who might keep him alive - or break him first.
Veera Singh doesn't do emotions. Once a national martial artist, now a private security specialist, she operates in silence and precision. Her job is simple: protect Aarav from his own destruction. Yet from the first moment their eyes lock, protection feels a lot like temptation.
Every rule Veera has built her life on starts to fracture. Every wall Aarav hides behind begins to crumble.
And somewhere between the cameras, the chaos, and the secrets they both keep - a love story sharp enough to cut begins to take shape.
🩶A love story between danger and desire - where the bodyguard never blinks, and the man she guards finally learns what it means to fall.

They performed her last rites. While she was still alive. Akshara Maheshwari was erased from her own family before she could even understand what she had done wrong. Abandoned, forgotten, and declared dead, she disappeared from the world that once called her blood. Years later, she returns - not as a broken child begging for answers, but as AK - a name the world admires, fears, and follows. She doesn't come back for forgiveness. She doesn't ask for love. And she doesn't reveal herself easily. Because some wounds don't need apologies - they need truth, power, and reckoning. As the Maheshwaris celebrate, lie, and protect their secrets, the past claws its way back into the present. A past involving betrayal, silence, a sold child, and a savior who changed her fate. What happens when a family realizes the daughter they buried... is the woman who now controls their empire? And what if revenge isn't her goal - but taking back what was always hers?

It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable.Complete

MARKED BY YOU
Marked By You is a dark, emotional romance that follows the lives of two seemingly opposite souls bound by fate. Vaidehi, a traditional South Indian girl, lives in a world of old-fashioned values. She runs a small rental bookstore below her apartment, finding solace in the pages of the books she loves, away from the strictness of her parents and the expectations of society. Her heart belongs to a quieter, simpler time, where love was gentle, and dreams were rooted in tradition. Atharv Khurana, once a feared mafia heir, now lives a life of luxury as a successful businessman. Cold and emotionally scarred by his dark past, he's long since shed any semblance of humanity, choosing instead to embrace a life of fleeting relationships, power, and chaos. That is, until he moves into the apartment building next to Vaidehi, who, with her innocence and quiet strength, stands as everything he's been running from. Their worlds collide when Atharv, accustomed to the chaos of his former life, finds himself inexplicably drawn to Vaidehi's quiet grace, a stark contrast to the women he's known. She, in turn, is unsettled by his presence-the man who lives recklessly, changing girlfriends as easily as he changes suits, yet someone who stirs something deep within her. Bound by their contrasting lives-her family-bound, his dark and freedom-driven-they must navigate the maze of their emotions, their scars, and the deep connection that neither of them saw coming. In a tale of love, loss, and longing, Marked By You is a story of how two souls, torn apart by their pasts, can find healing and hope in each other.Complete

Devraj Singh Rathore, heir to one of the most powerful families in India, is feared by many and understood by none. Bound to a wheelchair after a brutal attack, he shows no emotion, no warmth... and certainly no interest in the woman tending to him. At least, that's what Ira believes. What she doesn't know is that behind his still gaze lies a storm-dark, obsessive, and dangerously fixated on her. He watches when she's not looking, collects pieces of her she never gave, and burns with jealousy every time his younger brother dares to flirt with her. But Ira has a life outside this mansion. A fiancé her family chose. A future she thought she wanted. Devraj is done pretending. And when obsession begins to crack through restraint, Ira must face a chilling truth: You can only run so far... when the one who craves you is already inside your world.

The Sinister
"Treat my wound" he said, laying down on the cold floor of the maid's room in his mansion. "B...but it's too deep. I can't... you need to go to the hospital, sir" the maid replied, her lips trembling, tears pooling in her eyes.

Tears slid down her cheeks as she began treating him. He lay there on the floor, careless of dignity, of blood, of the world, his eyes fixed on her. And in them lived something forbidden... something powerful enough to destroy everything. He asked her to treat his wounds. But what he truly wanted... was for her to heal him. And she...she was forbidden to even think of him. Forget healing him. What will happen when a sinister mafia becomes obsessed with his maid? Will a soft, pure-hearted girl fall in love with the man the world fears to even look at? Read the story to find out what destiny has planned for them.
