Carnation in The House of Autumn

She was never supposed to trust him. He was never supposed to fall for her. And neither of them knew what their love would cost. Varinya Goenka doesn't believe in second chances. She knows what happens when you expect too much, love too deeply, and let someone see the parts of you you've spent years hiding. So she built an empire. Built her walls. And buried everything else. Then came Rishiv Singhania. Too patient. Too persistent. Too certain that even the coldest heart deserves to be loved. But Rishiv soon discovers that Varinya isn't simply guarded. She's hiding something. And the closer he gets, the more he realizes that the woman he's falling for may be carrying a past neither of them can escape. Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Some wounds are never meant to heal. And some love stories begin not with a confession— but with a secret neither of them was supposed to uncover. 🍂 In a house built on silence, will love become their salvation… or their undoing? 🌸
