Strangers at home. And yet-two souls bound by a sacred vow neither of them wanted. Will pride keep them apart, or will faith bring them closer?

    She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

    Madelyn Laurent is a French princess with two overprotective brothers, zero patience, and a mouth that gets her into trouble. Reckless, rebellious, and completely unfiltered, she has never been very good at behaving. Adriano De Luca is the future Don of Italy--cold, ruthless, and a full-time control freak. Power comes easily to him, but before he can claim it, he's forced to meet one irritating requirement: getting married. Their first meeting at an auction is a disaster. Insults fly, hatred is immediate, and both leave fully committed to never crossing paths again. That plan falls apart when their parents arrange a marriage to secure an alliance, forcing two enemies into a union neither of them wants--and turning irritation, tension, and banter into something impossible to ignore. Because some hearts aren't won --they're auctioned. ************* ~tropes~ -enemies to lovers -arranged marriage -mafia romance -slowburn -forbidden love

Now on the cusp of getting all he has worked for, an unforeseen condition makes him do the one thing he has always stood against, taking a wife. And like everything in his life, he would make sure it was on his terms. No love, no expectations. Just a practical arrangement. But the heart, as they'll learn, plays by no rules.

    Dhvani Bansal's life was never hers to live. Burdened by a past she hides beneath quiet smiles and lowered eyes, she knows silence too well-silence that suffocates, silence that remembers. When her marriage is arranged to Divyansh Mittal - the heir of a powerful business empire-she expects nothing more than duty and distance. But Divyansh is not what she imagined. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who sees more than she wants to reveal, who notices the cracks she desperately tries to conceal. He is gentle where she feared control, patient where she expected anger. Yet, he too is human-capable of mistakes that might wound her fragile trust. As their worlds intertwine, so do their wounds. In the chaos of family, traditions, and unspoken truths, two strangers must decide if love is enough to heal scars the world never sees. Because some scars aren't loud. Some are silent. And sometimes, the quietest ones ache the most. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Every scar has a story. And every story deserves to be heard. This is Dhvani Bansal and Divyansh Mittal's journey-a tale of silence, strength, and love that learns to grow through brokenness. Will you join them in this journey? 🌙✨ ~By SLESHA #4 on rromance (13/09/25) #1 on rromance (07/11/25) #2 on arrangedmarriage (08/11/25) #1 on arrangedmarriage (25/12/25)

    Varsha Sharma had always believed life unfolded in a straight line-one step after another, one dream leading gently into the next. She had love waiting for her, wedding rituals filling her days, a brother and sister-in-law who were her world, and two little souls who filled the house with laughter. Everything was set. Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed. In a single, cruel moment, her perfect life shattered, leaving her with two infants who clung to her heartbeat and a world that no longer made sense. Her marriage collapsed, her home fell silent, and every path she once dreamed of closed at once. But grief has a strange way of rearranging destinies. Pulled together by loss and bound by responsibility, Varsha and Ashwin Raina-strangers in every sense but devotion-find their lives stitched into the same story. He, the quiet, work-driven brother who lost a sister too soon. She, the bruised yet unbreakable girl who became a mother overnight. Together, they step into a marriage neither planned, building a family from the ruins of heartbreak, discovering strength in places they never looked, and learning that sometimes love doesn't arrive as a choice... but as a promise you make to those who can't make one for themselves. Sometimes love doesn't arrive as a fairy tale- sometimes it grows quietly in the spaces grief leaves behind.
