Some secrets were never meant to survive.
Some hearts were never meant to meet.
Ira Verma has always believed her life was ordinary-a clumsy food analyst, a quiet home in India, and a father who never spoke about his past. But everything changes the day a stranger walks into her life... and recognizes the face in an old photograph.
Cha Tae-jun is one of the world's most feared investigators. Cold, disciplined, and impossible to read, he travels to India on a mission that could expose a conspiracy powerful enough to shake nations. Failure isn't an option. Trust is a luxury he can no longer afford.
Then fate forces their paths to collide.
One accidental meeting ignites a chain of events neither of them can escape. Hidden truths surface. Powerful enemies close in. Every answer leads to another lie, and every step forward pulls them deeper into a deadly game where the past refuses to stay buried.
She is the key to the truth.
He is the man sworn to uncover it.
Between cultures, continents, loyalty, and betrayal, an impossible bond begins to grow. But when love stands on the opposite side of duty, only one choice can change everything.
In a world built on secrets, can two souls from different cultures rewrite their destiny... or will the truth tear them apart before their story even begins?

Adrift
Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.Complete
Trinetra
Excerpt I got a peace offering. And Ice cream. The message popped up again. His Bhaiyu was making it hard to ignore. Darwaza khol, yaar. Mogambo uth jayenge. Ansh glared at the French windows. Even desperate his Bhaiyu would not quit the name calling. Shall I leave? Ansh did not respond. Okay! Leaving the ice-cream outside. Take it before it melts. Ansh did not respond, but his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to meet his Bhaiyu. He was even a little desperate, but he did not wish to give in so soon. So, he counted until 100 and then slowly made his way outside. Iris hopped down from the bed and followed behind him. Ansh opened the doors with a big heart only to find a basket filled with dumb yellow smile squishes and a big tub of ice-cream in between. A few CD's were tucked into the basket almost as an afterthought. The game CD's that Ansh wanted. Ansh glared at the basket. "Do minute nahi rukh saktey they kya?" He muttered under his breath. "You made me wait 17 minutes, kidoo" A voice whispered in his ears. Ansh almost screamed but Nirbhay's palm closed around his mouth before any sound could slip. Ansh's heart thudded in his chest. His Bahiyu had almost given him a heart attack. Nirabhay grabbed the basket and slipped inside with Ansh, and shut the door behind him.
