Because some stories don't need chapters to stay with you forever

New school. New city. Same old shadow. ​Roohi was sent away at seven years old for a reason. She was the girl nobody chose. The one who was always second best. The one who was easily replaced. Ten years in Canada was supposed to bury those memories. ​But then she meets Agastya Vardhaan. ​To everyone else, he's the untouchable king of the hallways. To Roohi, he's the boy who spent his entire life making sure she knew she didn't matter. He was the first person to break her heart before she even knew what love was. ​He doesn't recognize the girl standing in front of him now. He sees a stranger he can intimidate. A girl who dares to look him in the eye. He hates her because she's a mystery he can't solve. She hates him because she remembers every time he chose someone else over her. ​Agastya is looking for perfection. Roohi is a reminder of everything he wants to forget. ​The line between them is drawn in years of resentment and forgotten secrets. He thinks he's winning a game she's been playing since they were kids.

Starving for the familiar sting of chaos and degradation, I sought out a man who would ruin me-betraying the only person who ever truly cherished me. ​I thought I could wear the mask of the perfect wife forever.

Forced to face the devastating weight of my own self-sabotage, I am left with nothing but the ugly truth. I haven't just broken our marriage; I've broken the man who spent years quietly holding me together.

Maya Collins is a girl made of deadlines, highlighters, and a future she's mapped out down to the last second. She doesn't have time for distractions, and she certainly doesn't have time for Logan Vance. ​Logan is the kind of storm you don't survive. As the star of Northwood High's swim team, he's a god in the water and a ghost on land-smelling of chlorine, expensive tobacco, and secrets that could burn the whole town down. He's untouchable, unreachable, and currently failing the one class that stands between him and a scholarship. ​When the principal forces Maya to tutor him, it's not just a clash of worlds. It's a chemical reaction. ​Between the sterile silence of the library and the humid, heavy air of the locker rooms, a dangerous game begins. Logan wants to see how far he can push the "perfect" girl before she cracks. Maya wants to find the boy beneath the scars and the cynicism. ​But in the hallways of Northwood, secrets are currency. And with Amber Thorne-the school's golden girl with a heart of ice-watching their every move, one wrong breath could cost them everything. ​In a world of static, they are the only thing that feels real. Even if it's a reality that's destined to go up in flames.

A NEW STRAIN OF TERROR. A FRAGILE ALLIANCE. ​The year is 2016. Deep within India's densely populated Kalasher District, a catastrophic bioterror outbreak has plunged the city into absolute nightmare. The culprit: the Asuru Virus, a highly volatile new pathogen that mutates its hosts into ravenous, unstoppable bio-organic weapons. With the city under strict martial law and the streets overrun by the infected, survival is no longer guaranteed. ​Enter Ada Wong, an elite corporate spy seeking to steal the virus's "Prime Strain" for a shadowy contractor, and Sheva Alomar, a battle-hardened BSAA operative fighting to contain the outbreak. Forced into a reluctant alliance, the two women must navigate a labyrinthine, puzzle-filled police precinct that serves as a front for a massive, subterranean Tricell NEST bunker. ​Hunted by General Rathan's rogue paramilitary forces and hordes of the undead, Ada and Sheva must put aside their explosive differences to survive. But when DSO Agent Leon S. Kennedy is captured by Rathan's men and used as a pawn, the stakes become deeply personal.
