Only Exception
Ananya lives by one rule- never fall in love. She's seen what heartbreak can do, how it shatters everything you once believed in. So she builds walls, keeps her heart locked away, and swears she'll never let herself feel that deeply again. But then comes Kabir. The boy she should stay away from. The bad boy who never plays by the rules. The one who isn't supposed to matter-yet somehow becomes the only one who does. He's reckless. He's stubborn. And worst of all? He refuses to let her push him away. Because Kabir isn't here to break her. He's here to prove her wrong.
Everything Changes
Aria had a simple life, she had her friends, her brother, and her parents. At the time she thought life couldn't get any better; minus the guy she was in love with was having a hard time noticing she's the one. But when tragedy strikes, she doesn't know how to deal with it. Losing someone close to her and the guilt that eats away at her heart. How do you deal with it? The life she had known was gone. The pain feels like drowning. Though putting your life together is hard when you keep finding out people aren't who they say they are. Who could possibly help her keep her head above water? Someone she least expected? Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy. He didn't have much he cared about in life anymore, at least, other than his friends. They were the only ones who knew his dark secrets, the mystery that hid in his eyes. That's the way he liked it, usually keeping to himself, not giving a shit what anyone thought about him. When Aria walks in his life, things get shaken up. Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.Complete
Their Spark
14-year-old Aria is in the foster system and has what most people like to call "an attitude problem." In her eyes, it's not an 'attitude'-it's survival. Sarcasm is her shield, silence is her weapon, and if she rolls her eyes hard enough, maybe no one will notice the way her hands shake when doors slam too loud. She's been with her current foster family for the past five years, and their abuse has been the worst of them all. The kind that hides behind locked doors and perfect smiles for the neighbors. The kind that teaches you not to flinch in public, but never lets your bruises fade in private. ♬⋆.˚ Aria doesn't cry anymore-she learned young that tears only made them angrier. Instead, she grits her teeth, sharpens her tongue, and waits for the day she can get out. Her social workers call her "difficult." Teachers call her "disruptive." But really, she's just a girl with scars people don't bother to see, carrying secrets she's too smart to share. What no one knows -not even Aria- is that the blood running through her veins carries a legacy far darker and more powerful than anything this foster family could imagine. A legacy that comes with 5 brothers who would quite literally burn the world for her
The Rule We Broke
"Never fall in love with your best friend. A rule built to last, until the moment it shattered." She made one rule to protect her heart: keep the friendship sacred. It was supposed to be her sanctuary, a shield against the kind of heartbreak you can never replace. But rules-no matter how carefully constructed-rarely survive the weight of a lifetime. Back in high school, they were a world of two: late-night calls, shared secrets, and laughter that belonged only to them. They were inseparable until the day he spoke the words that changed everything. In a single heartbeat, silence replaced their history, and the line between "us" and "strangers" was drawn in the sand. Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore. Old feelings resurface alongside guilt, temptation, and the dangerous pull toward a boundary that was never meant to be crossed. Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?
Bound by the reach
They were never meant to choose. But some things can't be controlled. Ariana was raised to believe in the system. In perfect pairings. In duty. When she's matched with Kael-distant, unreadable, and nothing like the future she imagined-her world begins to crack. He's lived in Eros Reach for years, yet carries secrets no one dares to ask about. And he's angry-at her, at the system, at whatever he left behind. Sent to a remote facility with one goal-produce three children, then return to their separate lives-Ariana tries to follow the rules. Kael refuses to play along. But in the silence, in the stillness, something begins to change. What happens when the person you're forced to live with becomes the only one who truly sees you? And what if the greatest threat to the system... is falling in love? "The system chose for them. But the heart never follows orders."Complete

"I could've killed you right in the moment but when I looked into these sparkling green eyes I knew I would be losing the light of my life if I did" I wanted to feel scared but I couldn't.
