He designs the future. She protects the past. But can they build a future together? Caleb Thorne is Boston's most sought-after architect, a man whose cold, glass towers dominate the skyline. He believes in progress, efficiency, and the pristine perfection of the new. To Caleb, the crumbling Blackwood Library isn't a landmark-it's a death trap and an obstacle standing in the way of his legacy project, the Thorne Spire. He has the money, the influence, and the determination to tear it down. Elara Vance is the director of Boston Heritage, a woman who finds solace in dust motes and the stories etched into centuries-old stone. To her, the Blackwood Library is the beating heart of the city's history, a sanctuary that must be preserved at any cost. When she uses a legal loophole to halt Caleb's demolition, she makes a powerful enemy. Deadlocked in a public battle, they strike a dangerous wager: sixty days to inspect the building together. If Caleb proves the structure is unsound, Elara walks away. If Elara proves the building is viable, Caleb redesigns his tower to save it. Forced into close quarters amidst the library's leaking ceilings and shadowed corridors, their professional rivalry begins to blur. Caleb, the man who builds walls to keep the world out, finds himself drawn to Elara's passion and stubborn warmth. Elara, who has always lived in the past, starts to see the man beneath the ruthless tycoon's mask-a man haunted by his own fractured history. But their fragile truce is threatened when a rival developer targets the library for his own gain and Caleb's dark family secrets threaten to collapse everything he's built. As the deadline approaches, Caleb and Elara must decide if they are willing to tear down the defenses around their own hearts. In a city of glass and stone, sometimes the strongest foundation is love.

Some love stories are not about happy endings-they're about the kind of love that breaks, burns, and still lingers in the shadows of your soul. Arvi was brilliance wrapped in grace, the girl everyone admired but no one truly reached until Preksh did. A chance meeting at a wedding turned into an unexpected bond at a coaching center, where they studied side by side, chasing the same dream: to become doctors. But while Arvi soared through NEET, Preksh stumbled. She moved forward; he took a drop year. What followed was a long-distance relationship stitched together with faith, surprise visits, and midnight calls. For five years, they fought for love against time, expectations, and the distance. Until one day, she vanished. A betrayal. A silence that screamed. A rumor that she was no more. Blocked and broken, Preksh never stopped texting her. Not a single message was ever seen. Until - 3:00 a.m. Notification: Message from an Unknown Number Could it really be her? Or was this just another twist in a love story already too tragic? Some answers can only be found in the spaces between two hearts... and one final message. In Case You Ever Come Back is a story of first love, lost dreams, long-distance scars, and the haunting ache of unfinished endings.

Elena's life is quiet, predictable, and carefully contained - until one late-night train ride unsettles everything.

A brief exchange of words becomes something more than small talk, the kind of conversation that lingers long after the train has reached its final stop.

A Note to the Reader Ashima's Story is a work of fiction. While it explores themes of marriage, divorce, personal trauma, and cultural dynamics within a Muslim family, the characters and their specific experiences are fictional. Any resemblance to real individuals or events is unintended and coincidental. The novel portrays characters navigating difficult life circumstances, including emotional pain and the process of healing. These depictions are not intended as a representation of any specific religion or culture as a whole, but rather as the unique journey of these characters. The author has taken creative liberties with certain procedural and cultural details for the sake of the narrative. I'm NeloofaNelz, the author of The Scars of Love. This novel is my first write.
