The Circle of Three is the story of three people who have lost all hope in life. One day, their paths cross and their destinies are forever changed. Thirteen year old Aryan Khosla has no friends, rarely meets his busy and quarrelling parents, and is tormented by a gang of school bullies. He feels his birth was a mistake and thinks no one would notice if he disappeared from this world.

Faced with a lifetime of misery, she has decided to commit suicide. Sixty-three year old Rana Rathod, a long forgotten author, has carelessly lived off the trust created by his wealthy family and feels betrayed by his two children who sided with his wife during their brutal divorce thirty years back. He fears he is going to die a bitter man. Will Aryan lose his childhood to his loneliness? Will Ria lose her life to her tragedy? Will Rana lose his dignity to his past sins? The Circle of Three is about finding a new beginning in life, of forgiving and ultimately, finding hope.

Jess has just waved goodbye to her darling son, off backpacking to Oz. She's left with two teenage daughters and husband Matt - all of whom find themselves regularly featured in her popular and lighthearted newspaper column in which she conveys to her readers an enviably cheery muddle of family life. Things become less rosy when Matt, after twenty years with the same firm, is made redundant. Only Jess sees the potential calamity in this. Matt is delighted with his new freedom and takes to hanging out at the local bar with others of the male barely-employable tendency, drinking and drifting and dreaming up hopeless schemes to make them all rich. Daughter no. 1, meanwhile, has taken up with a mysterious boy living in an abandoned car on the allotment, and her younger sister is over-burdened with a surfeit of secrets.

The Devil's Elixir
What if there was an herb, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous it might shake the very foundations of Western civilisation? What if powerful forces on both sides of the law got wind of that herb, and launched a violent, uncompromising pursuit to be the first to exploit it? And what if FBI agent Sean Reilly and his girlfriend, Tess Chaykin, were, unknowingly, the only two people who could keep the lid on this existential Pandora's box, one that's capable of destabilizing the world? Sean and Tess find themselves in a race-against the clock, against drug kingpins, and even against the government, as they follow two divergent trails, one several hundred years old, the other as current as a heartbeat, which together may lead humanity to the brink of annihilation.

Heat And Dust
Heat and Dust is a complex narrative by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, and it has two parallel stories. The narrator comes to India to find out about the scandalous past of her step-grandmother, Olivia. The narrator’s life is set in the post-colonial era, while Olivia’s life is set in the British Raj. Olivia was married to the narrator’s grandfather Douglas during the British Raj. She feels choked with the British social restrictions and longs for independence. Olivia is attracted to the Nawab of Khatm and starts a passionate relationship with him. She kicks up a furore in the town of Satipur, though, once she gets pregnant with the Nawab’s baby. The narrator is curious to understand Olivia’s motivation behind her actions, and she puts together Olivia’s life, and her experiences in India. Both the stories are based in different times in India, and the profound impact of India on both the characters is strongly portrayed.

Unmasking Kelsey
All is not as it seems as a daring undercover agent and an unconventional southern belle mix business with pleasure in this classic story of romance and suspense from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. Kelsey has come to the idyllic southern town of Pinnacle to investigate a shady company called Meditron, which has a ruthless way of getting what it wants—or so claims the desperate caller who contacts the FBI. The locals won’t talk about Meditron. But Kelsey is an expert interrogator, prepared to use his seductive charms to his every advantage. He just hadn’t counted on falling for the beautiful witness at the center of his investigation. Elizabeth Conner is too proud to ask for any sort of assistance. She never needed help raising her three willful younger sisters. But now her family is in serious trouble, and Elizabeth’s stubborn independence is a deadly liability. And then Kelsey sweeps her up—and into his arms—like a force of nature, promising to protect Elizabeth and her sisters from a relentless enemy. Elizabeth never imagined letting any man get too close, let alone one who can’t even disclose his full name. But daring to trust this tempting stranger is a danger she must embrace.
