Countdown Stories

If you had a countdown to the first time you met your soulmate... what would you do?

In Amorville, the only thing more dangerous than falling in love is failing to. With Valentine's Day approaching and a curse counting down to eternal loneliness, Sandhya is preparing a crime: she's going to bend the rules of fate. The Plan: 14 days. 14 forbidden spells. 1 guaranteed soulmate. Her target? The town's Golden Boy: perfect on paper, pre-destined by magic and allegedly impossible to mess up. But when every spell comes with a consequence, Sandhya's fairytale romance collapses into a spiral of glittery disasters, public humiliations, and a terrifying realization: that each spell she casts is stripping away a piece of herself. Desperate to find love before the last petal drops, she's forced into the orbit of the one man she swore to avoid - a grumpy, enigmatic shopkeeper who doesn't just sell the magic, but knows the dark price it asks in return a little too well. Once Charmed, Twice Cursed. For when the bill for her 'happily ever after' finally comes due, Sandhya may not be able to afford the heart she's about to lose.
