📖 STORY DESCRIPTION
She writes love stories under pen names,
hides behind words, and guards her privacy like a shield.
A 27-year-old bold Punjabi writer, loud in laughter, sharp in anger, and fearless in life - she never believed marriage was meant for her. Not until family pressure, a fragile father's health, and a little Punjabi drama pushed her into a wedding she never wanted.
He is 29, rich, successful, and emotionally distant.
Indian by blood, American by life.
A businessman who doesn't believe in love, barely speaks Hindi, and agreed to marriage only to keep his uncle and aunty happy.
Two strangers.
One forced marriage.
On their wedding night, when he coldly says,
"I don't consider you my wife."
She shocks him with a laugh and replies,
"Relax. Whether you accept me or not, I don't care.
Now help me take off this lehenga - I'm exhausted."
No tears.
No expectations.
No love.
What starts as a compromise slowly turns into companionship, laughter, arguments, and moments neither of them planned. As her loud Punjabi soul crashes into his silent American world, he begins to see the strength behind her jokes - and she starts to see the broken boy behind his calm eyes.
But what happens when he discovers that the woman he married unwillingly...
is the writer whose stories he secretly admires?
A story of forced vows, slow love, healing hearts, and a bold Punjabi woman who never begged for love - but earned it effortlessly.
✨ Enemies to lovers
✨ Forced marriage
✨ Strong female lead

Selflessly Mine To Love
"He loved her not to be loved back, but to remind her what love was meant to be." °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Aradhya Khanna stopped believing in forever the day her mother walked away. She grew up watching her father hide heartbreak behind gentle smiles, and somewhere along the way, love turned into something she didn't trust anymore. Now a successful interior designer with walls higher than her dreams, she lives her life by one rule-never expect too much from anyone. So when her father asks her to marry Rudransh Malhotra, his best friend's son and her childhood protector, she agrees... not for love, but for him. Rudransh has loved her quietly for years-through her anger, her silence, and the distance she built between them, she's always been the reason behind his patience, and now... his pain. In a marriage that begins out of duty, will love find its way through the cracks of old wounds? Or will Aradhya's fear of losing love again destroy the one person who always chose her-selflessly? Because sometimes, the most selfless love is the one that waits... and heals.
𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 ✦ Beneath Her Silence, Secrets Burn ✦
🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily. Guarded Heart is a story of slow-burning romance, emotional unraveling, and the quiet bravery it takes to let love in when you've learned to fear it. Some hearts hide because they've been hurt. Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life

Make It Louder (Prism Series #2)
Jaxian Drex "Jaxie" Malverez is the savage, pink-leather-clad drummer of Auxeria High, an openly gay rockstar whose life is a masterpiece of sharp edges. His world is governed by a meticulous order where only his music and his attraction to men have a place, leaving no room for the "maarte" drama of the female species. Kaelira Vynne "Kae" Castellano, the soft, jolly, and hopelessly naive transferee from Europe, is the walking violation of his peace and the ultimate distraction to his focus. But when her "conyo" charm and constant habit of getting into trouble trigger a fierce, possessive protectiveness in Jax, his carefully constructed identity begins to fracture. The heart he swore only beat for boys now thunders uncontrollably for the girl he deemed too slow, too messy, and too irritating to ever notice. Is Jaxian's rhythm as fixed as his savage reputation, or will he let a girl be the one to finally break his setlist? What happens when the ultimate annoyance becomes the only music loud enough to drown out his own rules? Second Book of Vexera Series. Dual Point of View.
