"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

It might seem as though not much time has passed since Runway was saved. Everyone did their job impeccably, but time couldn't be stopped, and fate forced us to adapt to the new rules of the game. My job at Runway was supposed to last for a while, but I stuck it out until these changes came about - they arrived suddenly, but everyone had been feeling them for some time. My name is Andy Sachs, and this story isn't about me, but about how one person wants to play the fashion world by their own rules... And that's where the problem begins.

He was trained to survive, not to love. Reyansh Rathore - an undercover RAW agent known for his cold demeanor, unreadable eyes, and dangerous silence. For the world, he's just another powerful businessman. But behind closed doors, he lives a life filled with secret missions, bullets, betrayal, and sleepless nights. The only place where he feels human is his family. Then enters Dr. Kiara Rajvanshi. A renowned doctor from a royal family, Kiara is warmth wrapped in elegance. She's stubborn, compassionate, emotionally strong, and completely unimpressed by Reyansh's grumpy personality. Their worlds were never supposed to collide. But one injured night changes everything. Now Kiara finds herself tangled in secrets she was never meant to know, while Reyansh struggles between duty and the growing fear of losing the only person who makes his chaotic life feel peaceful. He barely smiles. She talks too much. He pushes people away. She walks straight through his walls. And somewhere between hidden scars, hospital corridors, classified missions, family chaos, and silent care... they fall in love. A story where love is not loud - it exists in protection, patience, and the quiet promise of staying.
