His romantic weekend in ruins, shy twenty-something artist Perry Foster learns that things can always get worse when he returns home from San Francisco to find a dead body in his bathtub. A dead body in a very ugly sportscoat -- and matching socks. 
  
  The dead man is a stranger to Perry, but that's not much of a comfort. How did a strange dead man get in a locked flat at the isolated Alton Estate in the wilds of the "Northeast Kingdom" of Vermont? Perry turns for help from "tall, dark and hostile" former navy SEAL Nick Reno -- but is Reno all that he seems?

A LOVE WRITTEN IN SHADOWS by singhhariom

Devansh Choudhary is a man of many faces-an unyielding CEO by day, a feared mafia king by night, and the fiercely protective father of a young daughter. Ruthless in his world of shadows, he never expected his marriage to Saanvi Rathore, an innocent woman with a quiet resilience that stirs his guarded heart. Saanvi, aware of the darkness surrounding Devansh, is drawn to his young daughter, and slowly to the man who shields them both from danger. But as love begins to bloom in secrecy, buried truths and relentless enemies threaten to destroy everything Devansh holds dear. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a risk, Devansh and Saanvi must walk the line between loyalty and survival, facing shadows that refuse to stay hidden.
