Different people are scared of different things. Trey was scared of not making varsity basketball so he could eventually go pro. Meg was scared that one time her father would never come home again. Dallas was scared of breaking a bone on the field and blowing a football scholarship that would be his only chance to get out. My dad was scared that one day it would be too late to get out of a burning house, because that meant he would have to leave us. I was scared of three things, really: 1. My dad leaving. 2. Dallas leaving. The scariest thing? Knowing that both of those were inevitable. **** Johnny Leben already thinks his life has problems. Everything started going downhill the previous year when his mom was hospitalized, and now he has no idea what to expect. As sophomore year starts, all he hopes for is to get his head back into school and his heart back into basketball while trying to win over beautiful, smart Audrey Kennedy. He never guessed that this fall would be even more turbulent: Where's Dallas when he isn't at practice and isn't at home? What's his boss hiding that he is so scared of? Why's it that no matter what he does, he just seems to make things worse for everyone? The building blocks of his life are tumbling down, and he's not ready to face the bottom.

**This is a sequel!! Please read "Spies in Saddles" first, don't spoil it! Thanks** Nat thinks she has it all figured out - so her best friend, brother, coach, etc, are all spies and her whole life has basically been a lie. So what? Now that she knows that, life can go on normally. Or, as she will soon find out, about as normally as is possible for a teenaged girl very involved in the life of spies. Nearly two months after the Alley Cat fiasco, Nat finds herself snared in another problem, regarding the same painting the Alley Cat wanted, the one that apparently holds some kind of code. What is it about this painting that has the espionage world screaming? It's not even a Picasso! But when she attends a Christmas party and discovers a very big secret in her midst, she realizes that normal life really doesn't mean anything anymore. There are secrets everywhere: from her friends to her family to the boy whose past is shrouded in the most mystery. Among the appetizers and evening gowns, Nat discovers that almost everyone there is hiding something. Spies in stilettos? That's more like it!

***Book three! Please read "Spies in Saddles" and "Spies in Stilettos" first! :) By this point, Nat thinks she's used to the whole spy thing. So her sorta-kinda-not-really boyfriend is now wanted by the same agency her brother leads. So the crazy murderer who almost killed her is still out there somewhere. So no one will tell her anything that's going on. At least it's Christmas break. And then that boy shows up in her life, bringing as much mystery, suspense, terror, and head-over-heels feelings as the last time. As the freezing polar vertex sets in, sending buckets of snow and ice and negative temperatures over the town, Nat finds herself out on another spy adventure. This time the stakes - or should we say the skates - are much higher. Nat and the gang are treading very thin ice. Pazzini isn't just the conniving gangster he seems: he's got darker dreams. Zach isn't just the troubled teen he seems: he's got bigger secrets. But Nat isn't just the lost, confused girl she seems: she's got spy genes. Spies in skates? It's a slippery career.

***Book four in a series, please read the others first! After the whirlwind that was last winter, Nat thinks she's evolved out of the spy world. It's been eight months, after all, and it's hard to think about spies when it's August and school is about to start. So she focuses instead on enjoying her summer and the occasional presence of a super-hot, still-super-mysterious boy. Nat thought she had finally figured out Zach Sullivan during the blizzardy winter. But it's during the heat-drenched days of summer that the truth comes out about something that only ever existed as a rumor in CIA files: Zach's mother. What happened to Zach when he visited home in July? What caused the CIA to suddenly jump back onto a rumor they'd left alone for almost ten years? Who or what exactly is Zach's mother? Everyone has questions about her, and the only place that could have the answers is Boston, home to Harvard and the Red Sox and generations of Zach's family. So Nat finds herself walking the cobblestone streets of the North End, strolling through the Boston Commons, and wading in Cape Cod as she fights between her loyalty to Zach and the creeping doubt that he will always be hiding something from her. And then the biggest surprise hits...and it's up to Nat to fix it. Spies in sandals? The heat is on.

Nat has always joked about one of her best friends, Molly, being a top-secret CIA agent. After all, it always fit in with her many absences from school, distant trips on the weekends, and unexplained injuries. But Nat never considered the truth behind those jokes, because how could someone from an all-girl, Catholic school that wore saddle shoes possibly do any wrong? And then one day in algebra-two, when a gun is shoved in her face, everything she thought she knew about Molly flies out the window. With the help of her other best friend Kate and, of course, several attractive males, Nat finds herself caught up in a plot of kidnappings, gunshots, and high-scale adventure, all taking place right inside what she had thought was her comfort zone. Spies in saddles? Who'd have thought!

Warning: Contains spoilers. Do not read unless you have read "Delta: a spy novel" before reading this, or you'll be massively confused and you'll ruin it for yourself!! Read Delta first, please. Thank you! ♥ Astrid ♥ It was over. We had messed up. Pierre was still with Cloying, and Jay was out there somewhere, looking for me. I was back at Delta Headquarters while Josh was risking his neck to find Pierre. I was helpless, grieved, and close to going insane. It was all one big nightmare - so why wasn't I waking up? I thought the world was over after the assignment in France. But when Pierre returned, I learned that he wasn't who he seemed. What was it that he and Alan Young were talking about? What were they hiding from us? And then all crap hit the fan as accusations started flying and I watched another boy walk out of my life. But just because Delta said it was over didn't mean it was. So no accusations, no threats, no unexpected twists could have stop Josh and I from attempting to follow Pierre - even all the way to the U.K - and from looking for Cloying to get some revenge of our own. Because we had no idea that what we were heading into was something so much more complex than the mysteries of Pierre. But of course I should have known better - after all, Cloying and Jay had got away. But nothing could have prepared me for the maelstrom of fear, anger, adrenaline, and utter heartbreak that followed. This is Omega, the end. It's not over. ...but it's pretty damn close.

♥ Astrid ♥ Gunshots. Karate moves. Flipping through languages so fast that my brain struggled to catch up. These had been as familiar to me in the six years I had been in training as a school bell or sound of a teacher's voice might be to anyone else. At sixteen, I had seen more death than I cared to talk about. But what could I say? That was what life as a teenage spy was. And as part of America's little-known espionage agency Delta, that was what I had become accustomed to. But I couldn't have known that things were about to change. A new assignment came up, and though I was with people I had known for years, this one would change things so that my life would never be the same. A drug dealer, working undercover in France. People from my past, popping up in the most unexpected places. And the boy with the blue eyes, who could be completely for me or utterly against me; often, I didn't know which. This was one assignment that would stay with me forever. But, of course, I didn't know that as I headed in...to pure Hell. Welcome to Delta. Now that you're here, good luck getting out.

'Maanvi Arora' and 'Sharanya Bisht', whose lives are completely different from each other. But if the life is different, the luck should also be different, it is not necessary! Their lives may be completely different from each other, but their destinies are bound. And the person who connects their fate is 'Niskarsh Bedi'. 'Niskarsh Bedi', the younger son of the Bedi family who lives miles away from his family in Canada. Maanvi Arora, who is engaged to Niskarsh's elder brother Abhimaan Bedi, who hates Niskarsh. Nearly fifteen years later, Niskarsh has returned to India, taking Maanvi who had gone to Canada two years back for studies. But on seeing Manvi, both the Bedi family and the Arora family were stunned. What such change has happened inside Manvi in these two years, which has surprised everyone? Why does Abhimaan hate his own brother Niskarsh? And, why was Niskarsh living in Canada away from his family for fifteen years? And who is Sharanya? After all, how is her fate intertwined with Manvi's? All rights reserved by me @Satyanshi_Sinha.

So it is better if you don't marry me and ruin your life." Anahita was sitting with Chirag in his office. She said to Chirag. Chirag, "If you are about to die, then this marriage will be perfect for us. I also don't want to ruin a life by marrying someone in this condition." "Huh? What did you say?" "I said, marry me, Anahita!" "But why? What do you want from me?", Anahita asked. Chirag said with an expressionless, emotionless face, "Marry me and fulfill Dadi's wish. Anyway, you are going to die within a year, so neither I nor you will have any problem."
