    Est Supha has everything-wealth, status, power, and a future already written in gold. He's the perfect heir of a perfect family, living a life untouched by consequences. Until a single scandal shatters everything. As public outrage threatens to destroy their empire, Est's parents make an unthinkable decision-to marry him off. Not for love. Not for choice. But for image. William is nothing like Est. An orphan. Soft-spoken. Kind in a world that rewards cruelty. A man who teaches poor children under the sun and expects nothing in return. A man who becomes a husband not because he wants to be-but because he is chosen. Their marriage is a contract signed in silence. One bed. Two strangers. A house colder than the headlines outside. Est keeps his distance. William keeps his feelings to himself. Because loving someone who never reaches back is painful. But what Est doesn't know- While he's fighting to rebuild his reputation, William is fighting something much quieter. Something that doesn't trend. Something that doesn't wait. Because scandals fade. Power can be reclaimed. But love? Love becomes dangerous when you realize you might lose the one person who loved you first. And sometimes... the husband meant to protect a family name becomes the one worth destroying it for. Cold Husband × Gentle Husband Contract Marriage Slow Burn One-Sided Love Regret Arc 🦈🎸

    Lena has learned how to disappear. At school, she is kind, quiet, and effortlessly beautiful - the girl who smiles easily and never asks for anything. At home, she survives chaos, bruises, and a life she refuses to talk about. She expects nothing, because expecting has only ever led to disappointment. Gray doesn't let anyone in. He's sharp-tongued, closed-off, and intimidating - the star athlete with a temper and a reputation for not caring. He's rich but never boasts, surrounded by friends he would never admit matter to him. Feelings are a weakness. Walls are safer. When a seating plan forces them together, neither of them expects anything more than tension. But stolen glances in the library turn into late-night talks. Quiet kindness becomes protection. And somewhere between school trips, bruised secrets, shared laughter, and a birthday she never thought anyone would remember, something undeniable begins to grow. This is a slow-burn romance about finding safety in another person, learning to be loved when you've never been shown how, and choosing each other - even when the future is uncertain. Because sometimes, the strongest love is built slowly... and survives everything.

    Vaidehi Chauhan was born into a world of gold and grit, but she learned early that a royal smile is the best place to hide a bleeding heart. At twenty-two, she is a storm trapped in silk, bound by a sacred marriage vow to a man who is as much a stranger as he is her husband. Rana Vanraj Singh Rathore is a decade older, a man carved from the hard stone of the Mewar hills, powerful, possessive, and dangerously restrained. To the world, she is the poised princess. To him, she is a mystery he wants to unravel slowly, breath by agonizing breath. Behind the closed doors of the royal wing, the air thickens with a tension that neither of them can voice. It is in the way his gaze lingers on the curve of her neck, or how her pulse stutters whenever he stands close enough for her to feel the heat radiating from his skin. He is a flame that consumes everything in its path, and she is the one woman who refuses to be burnt. But in a palace where every shadow holds a secret, a single word can ignite a fire that no vow can contain. As the hunger she tries to bury begins to clash with the cold duty she was raised for, Vaidehi must face the truth. Loving him isn't just a choice; it is a surrender that will either liberate her or destroy them both. This is a high-tension, mature royal Indian romance where every touch is a provocation and every glance is a sin.

    With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
