In College Station, Texas, the days seem to follow the same pattern: students rush to their lecture halls, professors deliver their lessons, and the university appears to be a place where knowledge and harmony prevail.

✨ Book Description ✨ What do you call the sky when it has no name? A collection of poems written in Hindi/Urdu and English, Sky With No Name is not just words-it's a mirror of heartbreak, longing, silence, and everything we're too scared to say out loud. These are verses for the lonely nights, the smoke-filled streets at 3 AM, and the moments when love feels like both a blessing and a wound. Lines from the book: "Apni aankho se na dekh khud ko, Heera bhi tujhe pathar lagega. Sab kehte hain chand ka tukda hai tu, Meri nazar se dekh-chand bhi tera tukda lagega." "Do not see yourself with your own eyes, Even a diamond will seem like stone. The world calls you a piece of the moon, But through my gaze-you'll see the moon as just a piece of you." Sky With No Name is for the ones who find pieces of themselves in broken words and infinite skies.

Upon arriving in the dusty outback town of Millchester, Queensland, Australia, Phoebe is certain she is finally safe from the bastard who wants to rob her of everything she has...including her life. Being swept up in the strong arms of a stranger, she finds herself tempted with pleasures she couldn't refuse, and must face the uncertainty surrounding what was to become of her. This wasn't a job Raymond MacAllester wanted to do, but he had no choice. If he didn't take Phoebe back east to Inkerman, he'd be risking his sister's life. Given that she was Gordon Marriot's half-sister, he doubted it would be easy to find her, but he would not allow himself to feel guilt for any member of that heartless, corrupt family. When he meets Phoebe running for her life in the streets of Millchester, he couldn't believe this beauty was any family of Gordon's. When he finally took her into custody, he assumed she'd reluctantly agree to go back home. Never could he imagine that she would fight him as if her life depended on it. When Phoebe learns the true reason for Raymond coming after her, and his relationship with her brother, she is heartbroken and betrayed. Returning to Inkerman with Gordon, she resumes her place in his corrupt company. Desperate to find her and make her believe she was more than a business transaction, Raymond follows her to Inkerman and reluctantly reinstates himself into a life he hoped never to see again.
