A SECOND CHANCE MAY BE TOO HOT TO HANDLE They say there are no second chances, and for Lily Onassis, ever since she walked away from Formula World driver Max Becker, she's considered this true. Instead of a glitzy, glamorous life on the auto racing circuit, she's worked at a tech company, trying to live a quiet life and forget about her feelings for the gorgeous Max. Until she's fired from her job, and her father - a popular racing team owner - has a heart attack. Before her father goes into surgery, he has one request for Lily: temporarily take over his racing team. It shouldn't be a problem since she has management experience, except that Max is now a Team Onassis driver. And Lily is his new boss. The two must fight their burning attraction to each other at every turn while the paparazzi lurk behind every corner - and confront the fact that their love might be bigger than their stupid decisions of the past.

The words graceful, proper, ladylike and elegant could never be used to describe Perrie Beresford, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Ashwood. Perrie has always had a little too much fire in her to ever be classified as a beautiful young debutante, which is what she will inevitably become in her first Season. But romance, courting, and marriage are the last things on Perrie's mind. Especially when her nemesis, who was once an annoying classmate, suddenly appears in her home as her father's protégé. As Perrie is pushed towards the life of an adult by those around her, she can't help but be pulled into a game of wars within the walls of her very home. But Perrie is about to learn that the line between love and hate are very fine ... and perhaps might not even exist at all.

The great Mahabharata battle took away the lives of many and left many families incomplete. What would it be like if Anga Raj Karna had a daughter? What would the emotional turmoil of a young girl who lost all she called family in the battle be like? The diversity of the characters, and what may have been their perspectives, is one of the major factors that continues to kindle the flame that has made 'The Mahabharata' an evergreen epic. Yet, the details exploring the lives of the remaining members of the Kuru Dynasty, post the catastrophic battle of Kurukshetra, is left to the imagination. Through exploring what could possibly have taken place post the battle of Kurukshetra, the main focus of this story lies in traversing through the emotions of the various characters - including their unique and heart-warming bonds with the main protagonist of the story. *This is a purely fictional story.

There has been lot of confusion regarding Pranayam. Misleading facts and half- backed Truth about it have been advanced by theroreticians. So the devotees once requested Maharaj Shree to remove the cobwebs of wrong notions and throw light on the true nature of Pranayam. Mahraj Shree was kind enough to speak on this subject and make a thread - bare analysis of it for the benefit and welfare of the devotees. The talk was delivered in Hindi. The English rendering of it is presented to the World wide circulation. We are confident that a closed understanding of the facts revealed by the reverend Swami Adgadanand Ji Mahraj would help the devotees to move on the right track of spirituality and self realization. Mahraj Shree would be highly pleased if unresovled doubts in this regard are forwarded to him for clarification and solution.

When Rena meets Brent, he is a dream come true. He is a real gentleman, funny, caring and even her overly protective father likes him. But then, she discovers a different side of Brent - a violent side that scares her. Promising that this had been a one time slip up, she forgives him. After all, he is the love of her life. She dosn't see the signs -- the controlling, the alienation from her friends and dad, the obsession he has with her. She is like putty in his hands. Over time, she learns about the Cycle of Abuse the hard way and she even tries to break free. But in the end, she only sees one way out and it will likely cost her everything. Best Ranking: #2 in ChickLit Winner of the 1st Corner Booth contest Authors Note: This is a story about domestic violence and can be disturbing at times. Even though the people in this book are fictional, abuse at the hands of a loved one is real. It is something that can happen to any of us, even to teenagers like Rena. Please do not read this book if you find this topic disturbing. It is not designed to upset anyone but to raise awareness.
