Things had been rough this last year though, first his leg got crushed, he had a pulmonary embolism, he was told he couldn't come back to work, and then there was a tsunami. Even with now being allowed back at work after making the mistake of filing a lawsuit, things were still a bit strained. His family and home still felt like they were an arm's length out of reach.

Euphoria
"They say before eternal happiness appears, you have to overcome the nightmarish moments." In the island paradise of Koh Samui, one drunken night and an emotional outburst reunite Philip Kim, a charming attorney, with the woman who once unknowingly captured his heart - Heather Miller. Five years ago, he admired her silently through the haunting beauty of her artwork. She was the girl who gave him purpose during a winter in Washington D.C., even though she never knew his name. Her painting became his therapy. Her memory, his anchor. Now, she's back - not in an art gallery, but right beside him in the middle of a tropical escape neither of them planned. Heather, still nursing wounds from a broken engagement, has no intention of falling in love again. But there's something about the annoying yet oddly gentle attorney that makes her want to believe again. Two souls haunted by the past. One island. One night that changes everything.Complete

in about two weeks.
After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."
