DOOSRI BAAR : Pehli zindagi ki galtiyan, doosri zindagi ka hisaab.
Anaya Rajvansh had everything once-a loving husband, three beautiful children, and a family she believed she could trust. Unfortunately, she trusted the wrong people. She believed every lie they told her, ignored every warning from the people who genuinely loved her, and pushed away the one man who had always stood beside her-Armaan Rathore. By the time Anaya discovered the truth, her marriage, family, reputation, and happiness were already destroyed. Then she died. But fate gives her one impossible gift. A second life. A second chance. Anaya wakes up ten years in the past-with every memory intact. This time, she knows exactly who betrayed her. But instead of confronting them, she does something far more dangerous. She pretends to be the same innocent, easily manipulated Anaya they remember. She smiles. She agrees. She trusts them. And secretly watches them walk straight into the traps they're creating for themselves. But while Anaya is busy planning revenge, there's one problem she never anticipated... Armaan. The husband she once failed to trust. The man who notices that his supposedly naïve wife is suddenly hiding far too many secrets. And then there are their three chaotic children-sensible Aadhya, mischievous Reyansh, and adorable little Siya-who turn Anaya's carefully planned second life into an unpredictable comedy of errors. This time, Anaya doesn't want to simply punish the people who destroyed her. She wants to save the family she lost. Because in her first life, she trusted the wrong people. In her second, she's going to let the wrong people trust her. 😌

The Gospel of a Mafia Princess
Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal.

With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collection, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
