Maahi Sharma has spent her entire life searching for love-the kind that would prove she was worthy despite every mirror, every comment, every pitying glance that told her otherwise.
Then comes the betrayal that confirms her darkest fear: she was never enough.
Now Maahi must face a world that never believed in her while trying to believe in herself. Between the whispers, the judgment, and the weight of her own insecurities, she's not sure she knows how to stand back up. But sometimes healing doesn't come from finding the right person-it comes from becoming her.

A story about beauty standards, betrayal, and the brutal, beautiful journey of learning you were always enough.

The Unasked
Kalyani was never anyone's first choice. At eighteen, in Mumbai that has already quietly decided her worth, she is given to a man who does not want a wife - only someone to fill the silence his grief left behind. Set in 1840s Maharashtra, this is the story of a woman who asked for nothing, was promised nothing, and still found ways to love - a house that wasn't hers, children that weren't hers, a life that was never quite hers. The question is not whether Kalyani endures. It is what endurance costs a person. And whether anyone will notice before the price becomes too high.
Ruined Hearts
Sia Mathur has spent her whole life running-from danger, from betrayal, from the past that refuses to stop hunting her. Adhiraj Chakravarthy has spent his whole life searching-for truth, for justice, and, after a brutal heartbreak, for a reason to trust again. His past lover's betrayal shattered something inside him, leaving behind a vow carved in stone: never fall in love again. Never lose control. Never give someone that power. But fate doesn't care about vows. When Adhiraj and Sia collide, the impact is sharp, chaotic, and impossible to ignore. She hides behind fierce strength, her wounds buried deep. He hides behind cold walls, refusing to let another heartbreak destroy him. Yet somehow, their scars recognize each other-pulling them closer, even when they both try to pull away. As danger tightens around Sia, threatening to expose everything she's running from, Adhiraj becomes the only person standing between her and destruction. And when Sia's fear meets Adhiraj's refusal to love again, the connection between them becomes a battlefield neither expected. This is a story of two broken souls-one running from the world, and one running from love-finding each other in the ruins of their pasts... and discovering that sometimes the heart protects itself by choosing the very person it was never supposed to.

The Devil's Addiction (Raizada, #2)
Pari Thakur has always lived in the shadows. Sweet, soft, and overlooked because of her size, she never imagined a man like Kabir Raizada-ruthless, arrogant, devastatingly handsome-would ever look her way. For six secret months, he became her everything: the man who touched her when the world ignored her, who made her feel desired, even cherished. But Kabir Raizada doesn't do love. He doesn't do forever. To him, women are entertainment, bodies to conquer and discard, and Pari was no different... until one mistake changes everything. When Pari discovers she is pregnant, her fragile dream of belonging to him shatters under the weight of his cruelty. Kabir refuses to accept the child, refuses to accept her. With cold words and brutal detachment, he pushes her out of his life, proving she was only ever a fleeting distraction. But fate is not so easily controlled. What Kabir casts aside may become the one thing he can't live without. And Pari, once weak in his arms, may discover a strength that forces him to his knees. In a world where desire burns, betrayal cuts deep, and love is the most dangerous risk of all- can a ruthless man ever learn to cherish the woman who was once his greatest mistake?

Beautiful Girl
World weary and cynical, Arnav Singh Raizada falls for a slip of a girl his sister challenges him to seduce. It's a different matter altogether that when he breaks her heart, he breaks his own and years later, she seems to have moved on while he is still a fool who has loved her for far too long... ................................................................. "You need me to call you bhaiya?" She taunts. "I don't know a man who likes hearing "Bhaiya" from random females." "You would be correct," He agrees grudgingly. "And Arnav Ji is too old fashioned and Bollywood for me. It's not as if I am gonna see you after this wedding wraps up. I have no plans of subjecting myself to pointless human interactions and connections with Payal's in laws and her family." She fidgets a little, extending first one leg and then the other to rest it against the floor. Her skirt rides up a little while she is making herself comfortable and he is treated to the sight of her pale, delicate ankles. "Ouch! And here I thought we might be bonding over your juvenile antics and a love story I can't wait to hear." His eyes are still on her ankles and he feels like a perv as he continues staring. She has painted her toes black. Arnav needs to look away if he doesn't want to sport half a boner because a barely adult chit flashed him her ankles.Complete
