When two rival politicians shake hands, the cameras see unity.

What they don't see is the price.

Ira was never meant to be part of the deal. But to save his reputation, her brother trades pride for power and her hand in marriage to the one man he hates most.

Veer doesn't want love.
Ira doesn't want a husband.

What begins as a contract to protect empires turns into a war of egos, control, and slow-burning defiance. Because in politics, power is negotiated.

But hearts aren't.

He has everything the world dreams of-fame, applause, a life lived under flashing lights. Yet somewhere between film sets and forced smiles, Raghav Khanna is tired. "When did living start feeling so loud?" he wonders, choosing silence over spotlight, mountains over mirrors. In Dehradun, Janki Joshi lives differently. Her days are calm, measured, shaped by healing hands and quiet routines. The mountains have taught her how to listen, how to stay rooted. "Some lives aren't meant to rush," she believes, carrying peace like second skin. When fate brings a restless celebrity and a grounded healer together on a path neither planned to walk, something gentle begins to unfold. Not love at first sight. Not drama. Just presence. Just understanding. "You don't have to be anything here," she says. And for the first time in a long while, he breathes. Not every love is meant to shake the world. Some are meant to hold it still, To be felt in breath, in closeness,in the quiet devotion of someone who stays long after the noise fades. ©️All Rights Reserved

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance

A Dragon's Lover by EmilyLockwood352
73 parts Ongoing
Lyanna Tyrell, princess of Highgarden, was raised in comfort and light, her childhood seemingly untouched by fear. Yet since she was very young, she has been haunted by the same nightmare: a dragon tearing her from her home. On her eighteenth birthday, that dream begins to take form. Her father tells her she has been betrothed to Aerion Targaryen of House Targaryen, grandson of the King of Westeros, a man feared throughout the realm as Aerion the Monstrous for his cruelty and vile acts. Lyanna begs not to leave Highgarden or be bound to a monster, but her father is unmoved. This marriage, he insists, is her duty. A Tyrell joined to House Targaryen will secure their house's future. As Lyanna is forced toward a fate she dreads, she must face a truth she has feared since childhood: her nightmares were never just dreams-they were a warning.
