When You Sleep, I Wake

What if the person destined for you could never be awake at the same time? Borrowed Soul Love tells the haunting, breathtaking, and utterly original story of two strangers bound by a single soul—yet divided by consciousness. In a world where science can't explain their connection and fate refuses to let them meet, they discover the kind of love that reshapes identity, memory, and destiny itself. Aarav, a quiet illustrator hiding from the world, begins losing hours of his life. He wakes up to drawings he doesn't remember making, words written in unfamiliar handwriting, and intense emotions that feel like they belong to someone else. Across the city, Mira, a fearless and curious night-shift medic, collapses each morning just as Aarav's eyes open. When she wakes again, it's always dark, and she finds diaries filled with sketches of a boy she's never seen. They don't know each other. They've never met. Yet they live one shared soul. When Aarav sleeps, Mira wakes. When Mira sleeps, Aarav rises. A perfect balance—until they start falling in love through the residual pieces their soul leaves behind. Through dream fragments, emotional echoes, whispered messages left between sleep cycles, and memories that don't belong to them, their connection deepens. Their shared soul begins to evolve, bending everything they thought they knew about fate and identity. But love makes them dangerous. The closer they grow, the more unstable their soul becomes. Time stops aligning. Aarav begins waking up for shorter and shorter periods. Mira's consciousness flickers unpredictably. Doctors fail. Scientists panic. Spiritualists warn that one soul cannot survive in two evolving bodies once love awakens desire. Soon, they discover the truth: The soul wants to choose one body permanently. Only one of them will remain alive and awake. The other will fade into eternal sleep. With the universe forcing an impossible choice, Aarav and Mira must decide whether love is worth losing everything—or whether there's a way to rewrite the laws of nature itself. Beautifully written, emotionally resonant, and unlike anything ever imagined before, Borrowed Soul Love is a first-of-its-kind love story that explores the boundaries of consciousness, connection, destiny, and sacrifice. It asks the most painful question ever posed in romance: If two people share a single soul… who deserves to live the life that love promises?
