In 1958, in a small Egyptian village, a fourteen-year-old girl is forced to marry a seventy-four-year-old man.
But on the night before her wedding, she does the unthinkable-she runs away.
Hiding in an abandoned house among the mountains, she faces hunger, fear, and the endless echo of her father's anger. When her cousin finds her, a new path opens-one that could save her or destroy everything she knows.
This is not a story about love; it's a story about survival, courage, and a girl who refused to accept her fate.

Adhiti : His lost Queen
Aadhya's life looks simple from the outside - but no one knows the storms she's survived or the pieces of herself she's lost along the way. There was a time she didn't see a reason to keep living... until they came into her life. The family she thought was gone forever. The little brothers she believed had died when they were children - alive, and calling her "sister" again. And him... the man who had been waiting for her for years, not knowing when or how they would meet, but certain she was the one. And his brothers treating her like a mother, and his quiet, unwavering presence beside her, Aadhya begins to discover that maybe life still has something worth holding on to. But the past isn't done with her yet - and neither are the dangers waiting in the shadows. A journey of loss, love, and finding your way back to the people who feel like home.
PEACE FOUND.
Aisha grew up longing for a mother's love, but her reality was far from kind. Raised in a household where warmth was scarce and expectations ran high, her mother's harsh words and cold heart left scars deeper than anyone could see. Every dream Aisha held onto-of education, of freedom, of a life she could choose-was dismissed, crushed under the weight of tradition and control. When Aisha is forced into an arranged marriage with Bashir, a man she has never met, her world feels like it's collapsing again. All she sees is another prison, another chapter written without her consent. But Bashir isn't what she expected. Gentle, patient, and quietly understanding, he sees the pain she tries to hide and offers her something she's never truly known-respect. As time passes, Aisha begins to question everything she believed about love, marriage, and herself. In the most unlikely place, she finds not just safety, but the beginning of healing. Aisha's Promise is a powerful story of resilience, love found in unexpected places, and the courage to rewrite your destiny-even when the world tries to write it for you.Complete

The Vintage kind
He's her best friend's father. She's half his age. But some stories aren't meant to age quietly. Leo is a 50-year-old vineyard millionaire-divorced, emotionally reserved, and untouched by love since his ex-wife Miriam walked away a decade ago. Until Nadia shows up-23, fiery, fragile, and Grace's best friend. When Nadia gets stood up by her toxic boyfriend Tendai, she runs straight to Grace's house-and unknowingly into the Mhandu family's quiet, golden chaos. Grace, ever the schemer, knows her father is lonely. And she knows her best friend deserves better. So she pulls the strings in the background and sets up the most unexpected slow-burn romance of the year. What begins as a fake sugar baby act to escape a blind date turns into late-night vineyard walks, viral photos in vintage red dresses, soft confessions, and a kiss that changes everything. But Leo is terrified-of the age gap, of judgment, of loving someone so wildly unexpected. And Nadia? She's scared too. Of leaving behind a broken past. Of trusting someone who could actually treat her right. Of falling for the one man she's not supposed to want. One daughter. One red dress. One scandalous love story. Because sometimes the most controversial things... are also the most real. The Vintage Kind is a slow-burn, age-gap romance full of heart, secrets, and a love so unexpected, it tastes like something aged to perfection.Complete
