The Chorus Of Us
"Can I be yours Ahana?" He asks "Your boyfriend, your childhood friend, your rival, your classmate, your next door neighbour, your crankula. Anything just call me yours!" "I'll happily have you Vihaan Sharma, as my boyfriend, as my childhood friend, as my rival, as my classmate, as my next door neighbour and as my crankula. Anything and everything of yours as mine." She says "And me as yours." Ahana Verma believes in discipline, ambition, and never letting emotions get the upper hand. Vihaan Sharma believes in competition, music, and challenging her every step of the way. Once childhood friends bound by innocence, they now stand on opposite sides of rivalry, their easy laughter replaced with sharp banter and unspoken tension. But when debates turn into duets and stolen glances begin to linger, old memories resurface in ways neither of them expected. Surrounded by chaos, friendship, and the pulse of music that refuses to stay quiet, Ahana and Vihaan are forced to confront what truly changed between them. Because once, long ago, a promise was made. A promise worth keeping. Tropes: Grumpy×Sunshine Academic rivals-to-lovers Childhood sweethearts Musical

Missing Home
Book 1 of the Love and Duty Series Anirudh Roy, the steadfast and disciplined army officer, had always lived by a set of principles, none of which involved love. His life revolved around duty, honor, and the pursuit of his ambitions. Marriage, children, and emotional entanglements were unnecessary distractions in his eyes-until he met Dhairya Sharma. Dhairya was everything Anirudh thought he could easily overlook: an average girl with humble dreams, working a simple job and striving to carve a career for herself. She had left her hometown, filled with determination, to build a new life in New Delhi. Love was never on her agenda either. She was driven by her ambitions, not romantic fantasies. Yet, the moment they met, something shifted. Anirudh felt an undeniable attraction-one that grew into something deeper and more profound. It was as if all his carefully laid plans unraveled, his walls crumbling down piece by piece as he fell in love with Dhairya. She, too, found herself surrendering to emotions she hadn't anticipated, breaking her own resolve. But life had other plans for them. Their love story, unlike the fairytales, wasn't destined to have a smooth path. Years after their fateful meeting, something catastrophic happened-an event so shattering that it left Anirudh in pieces, unable to comprehend how his life could spiral so far from the strength and control he once held dear. The question that remains is not merely what devastated them but why Anirudh, who never believed in love, found himself so consumed by it that even in his brokenness, every breath he took was still devoted to her. His journey, from an unyielding soldier to a man completely undone by love, reflects the inexplicable power that Dhairya had over his heart, a love that he could never let go, no matter the cost.

Inevitably Yours
He is her brother's best friend. She's known him for her entire life, the one who's always been off-limits. She is his best friend's little sister. The girl he's watched grow up, the one he swore he'd always protect. Adira's world is simple-school bells, laughter echoing in corridors, family, friends, mischief, and a camera always hanging by her side. She's the sweet, bratty girl. The one who laughs the loudest, smiles the brightest, and pretends she has it all figured out. And then there's Reyansh. Tall, calm, effortlessly cool. The school heartthrob people talk about between classes and whisper during lunch breaks. He smiles easily, stays composed, and never lets anyone see too much. Always in control. Adira has had a quiet crush on Reyansh forever. Safe. Secret. Just enough to make her heart race from a distance. Reyansh's life was perfect... until he started noticing Adira in ways that burn everything down. Families tied too tight. A "bro-code" that screams wrong. But feelings don't listen to rules. What starts as stolen glances turns into something darker, deeper-cravings that pull them closer, even when they know it could ruin everything. With everything at stake, they'll have to decide: is it worth the risk, or is some love better left unspoken? In a world where love feels like forbidden fire, will their story end in sweet surrender... or heartbreaking ashes?
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
❝Don't smile at me like that. Your smile makes me want to throw up.❞ Her smile warped into a smirk. ❝Oh, congratulations. A split second of eye contact with me made you pregnant!❞ Juhi grew up learning to survive disasters. Because, well, life only gave her disasters just when things began to fall into place. She's the founder of her own clothing brand; a woman with a sharp tongue and a quiet hope that no more disasters would dare to affect her. But if only she knew, another disaster was on its way into her life, in the form of an arrangement she herself made. Rishabh, a dentist by profession, is that temple bell everyone rings while passing by. Rung by his past, his fate, expectations and most of all, Juhi. He simply came to his sister's wedding from Mumbai. By sharing one of Juhi's disasters, he unwillingly became part of god's plan neither of them ever wanted. When Juhi discovers her loved one rejected the woman he loved just because he believed his responsibilities toward Juhi left no room for his own happiness, she does the only thing that makes sense to her at that time. She makes an arrangement with the sole person she hates the most. Simple. Except, fake dating at a big fat Indian wedding is practically a self-harm hazard. And has any fake relationship ever ended the way people expected? So... What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Answer: Everything.
