As the Kargil war raged on between the nations of India and Pakistan, a young army father continuously wrote to his daughter in hopes of rejoining with her post this experience. 

Set mostly in the gusty streets of the Indian capital, Dear Daughter is a journey from realisation to redemption. As a teenage boy matures into an army man, he is forced to face the demons of society and protect his honour.

Dear Daughter is a compilation of the many letters written from a father to his "orphan" daughter. The only drawback here? He doesn't send these letters to anyone. As the war goes on, only one thought wanders in his mind: Circumstances separated them, but could circumstances bring them back?

Hop on and dive into this sea of memories.

Don't Let Go by ShabanaTheStar

❝ She has always dreamed of having that perfect 'home' but then found 'him' instead ❞ A home is something that she has always dreamt of, where she'd be cherished and loved. Life has been pretty difficult after she has lost her parents at the age of 11. She was a very ambitious girl with lots of dreams and fashion designing was one of them but getting married to a guy who's not her best friend, was a big no to her. And yet she found herself signing the wedding papers at 21 years to the last man she'd possibly ever like. He was the son of a politician, wanting to be a politician ultimately. After facing a trauma of losing someone so close to him, he became closed off and cold hearted. His only plan in life for his future was to be a politician like his father and nothing else. Getting married was never a part of his plans. And yet he found himself getting married at 25 years to the last woman he'd possibly look at.. He is, Abrar Shah. She is, Haya(t) Ali. And this is their story. ••• Book One in the "Let Go Series" Word Count: 59,214 Ratings: The book is intended for mature audiences. But there's no explicit description. Fade to black only. •••

𝟏𝟓𝟐𝟗: 𝐀 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐚| Indian Historical Fiction by justaclassydesi

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 Ⅰ 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐀𝐉𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐈-𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 Shefali Roy had lost her parents in a pandemic when she was just one year old. That was the first time she was orphaned. The next time she was orphaned was when she was seventeen. The army of the barbaric sultan invaded and burned down every house in the tranquil town of Muksadabad where she lived with her old grandfather. Shefali had to run into the wilderness of the outer world because she knew if they caught her then they would not even spare her death. Having been orphaned again into the hands of circumstances, the last thing she wanted was to faint in the longing road just to end up in the service she was so vividly running away from, prostitution. The youngest son of the royal family of Chauhans of Rajasthan was growing up unaware of the twisted future he was to face soon. It was only until one fine day that he saw a girl wearing a distinct piece of worn-out dirty cloth so beautifully draped around her body, nothing like what his people wear. All until his glance reached her curious eyes when he was blown away by the wilderness of her serenity. Having hated such women who indulge in prostitution all his life ever since his father, the king, started having serious affairs with them, will this hot-headed Chauhan of Rajasthan understand the unheard words of the girl who thought the most yet talked the least? It's not a tale of love and happy endings... it's a legacy of generations in the Royal family of the Chauhans dating back to the early 16th Century when pride met poise and turned wise. #1 in Bookworm #25 in Interesting #64 in Historical Fiction

His Ignorant Lover ✓ by nailawritesfiction

••| 1st in Arranged Series |•• Can be read as a Standalone. "Thank God, you took my call," he mumbled. "Why did you send that flower bouquet?" He fought the urge to chuckle at her troubled voice. "At least those flowers made you talk to me. May I know what I did to get this ignored treatment of you?" "Don't do such things and please don't call me again." She wanted to say this but her tongue refused to form those words. "I...I was just busy due to my studies that's why." She bit her tongue when she realized she had answered exactly the opposite of what she wanted to say. He sat up and glared at the phone's screen. So this kitten knew how to play hard to get? "Are you sure that's the only reason?" "No, I am telling the truth. I have exams in a few days. " "Ohh...so am I distracting you?" "I am sorry, I won't disturb you now." "No, no, you don't disturb me." Her heart came into her mouth at the consequences of his words. It was not easy to resist Ruhaan Sufiyan Ahmad. He himself knew it and it took Nisha Sikandar just two weeks to realize it. ____________________ Start Date: 30/04/2022 End Date: 09/06/2023
