The English Problem: A Novel
A powerful story about the quiet devastations of colonialism and the price of belonging.
When eighteen-year-old Shiv Advani is handpicked by Mahatma Gandhi to study law in England and return as a leader of a liberated India, he leaves home reluctantly—newly and hastily betrothed, a wife he barely knows already carrying their child, and a life laid out for him by duty rather than desire.
But London upends everything. Drawn in and repelled in equal measure, Shiv enters a world shaped by the Empire. Its culture, privilege, and seductive freedoms slowly pull him away from the mission he came for as the people Shiv sought to be liberated from become the people he desperately wants to be a part of. As he trains at the Inns of Court and begins to carve out a new life, the distance between his two homes widens. Soon he is caught between loyalty and longing, tradition and transformation, two homelands, two identities, and two futures. In the end, Shiv must fight not only for his country’s liberation but also his own.
Set against the turbulence of India’s freedom movement, The English Problem is a lyrical, intimate, and politically resonant novel of a young man and a young nation, struggling to define themselves.
Death and the Harlot
When information is power, secrets are worth lives.
London, 1759
Lizzie Hardwicke has learned to escape her history and survive the perilous streets of Soho within the walls of Mrs Farley’s Bawdy House, a reputable brothel. But entertaining wealthy customers may not be so profitable when one of them is brutally murdered after a night with her.
Lizzie must escape the investigator Davenport’s suspicious eye by solving the murder herself. But the deeper she goes, the more bodies pile up. From her customers to the doorman, everyone has something to hide. All Lizzie needs to do is find the person willing to kill for theirs, before they come for her.
Death and the Harlot is the first instalment of the gripping and vividly imagined historical mystery series.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters and Diana Gabaldon, echoing the atmospheric pull of a Nancy Drew–esque mystery.
A Thousand Times Before
A heartrending family saga following three generations of women connected by a fantastic tapestry through which they inherit the experiences of those that lived before them, sweeping readers from Partition era India to modern day Brooklyn.
Ayukta is finally sitting down with her wife Nadya to respond to a question she’s long avoided: Should they have a child? The decision is complicated by a secret her family has kept for centuries, one that Ayukta will be the first to share with someone outside their bloodline: the women in her family inherit a mysterious tapestry, through which each generation can experience the memories of those who came before her.
Ayukta invites Nadya into this lineage, carrying her through its past. She relives her grandmother Amla’s life: Once a happy child in Karachi, Amla migrates to Gujarat during Partition, witnessing violence and loss that forever shape her approach to marriage and motherhood. Amla’s daughter, Arni, bears this weight in her own blood in 1974, when gender equity and urban class distinctions divide the community as a bold student movement takes hold. As Ayukta unspools these generations of women—whole decades of love, loss, heartbreak, and revival—she reveals the tapestry’s second gift: the ability for each of these women to dramatically reshape their own worlds. Like all power, both fantastic and societal, this inheritance is more treacherous than it seems.
What would it mean, to impart an impossible burden? To withhold these incredible gifts?
Sweeping, deeply felt and intergenerational, A Thousand Times Before is a debut as poetic as it is propulsive, as healing as it is heartbreaking, as it examines what it means to carry our past with us and to pass it on. Rooted in a tender love story, and spun with a tremendous amount of care, this book is a rare, remarkable feat from an incredible new literary talent.
The Brother Between Us
Five years ago, Sofia Montoya lost everything.
On the night of her engagement party, her fiancé John tragically died—shattering her world and sending her fleeing from Colorado, from her past, and from the rage she’s carried like a secret.
Now, Sofia has built a quiet, carefully controlled life in Albuquerque. No one gets too close. Nothing pierces the walls she’s built around her heart.
Until Brandon shows up—John’s brother, the last person she wants to see.
Their history is complicated, and Sofia has no intention of revisiting it. But Brandon isn’t here for pleasantries— he’s here for the truth. The one Sofia never let herself ask for.
As old wounds reopen and buried passion reignites, Sofia is forced to confront the one thing she’s tried
hardest to avoid: the past.
Will uncovering the past tear them apart—or finally set them free?
Be Mine
If ‘wellness’ is the new religion, what happens when it goes too far?
A high-concept thriller with a heart that takes the idea of “extraordinary things happen to ordinary people” to the extreme…
Beth is a new mother struggling to find her place in the world. She is exhausted, mentally and physically, but her anxieties are not simply the fears of a first-time mum. A terror burns in her, fuelled by a secret past she is lucky to have escaped. When a letter arrives, bearing only the infinity symbol, Beth knows immediately it is from them . And that her past is finally catching up with her…
Ten years earlier, on the heels of a messy breakup, Beth meets the effervescent Marissa who introduces her to “Elixir” – a health and wellness organisation that she promises will change Beth’s life forever. She quickly becomes intoxicated and convinced it is the solution to all her problems. No task is too great, even as the gruelling exercise classes become more frequent, even as the therapy sessions become more costly, even as their ‘requests’ become ‘demands,’ Beth convinces herself this is what she wants.
Then, when she falls for the brand’s enigmatic leader, Tate, she can’t imagine life without Elixir. But as Beth’s star begins to rise, Marissa’s starts to fall. And though Marissa tries to warn her of the darkness lurking beneath the brand’s gleaming exterior, Beth finds she cannot let go.
Be Mine is a story about identity: finding our place in the world today, and where we turn to belong in a godless modern society.
Broken Mirrors, Spilt Salt, and a Lifetime of Bad Luck
For as long as she can remember, Mallory has been bad luck. Yes, you read that right—she’s not just unlucky; she is bad luck. With The Universe hell bent on bestowing misfortune upon her and subsequently those around her, can she find a loophole to turn things around?
Belonging in an Ivy League but through a twist of misfortune, stuck in a community college pre-law program, Mallory’s doing her best to minimize the misfortune she brings to those in close proximity. Her only haven is a group of gamers she befriended while playing Arcana Quest. Online camaraderie quickly morphed into real friendship with one standout friend—Valkyrie, whom she told about her cursed luck.
When one of their friends suffers a particularly bad interaction with a threatening man, Valkyrie suggests an unconventional idea: Mallory should harness her bad luck to take down jerks on dating apps. It works like a charm—well, a broken one.
Mallory wrestles with the ethical morality of her actions, while trying to balance her internship with an enigmatic personal injury lawyer, who seems immune to the torrent of disasters that follow her.
Can she use her curse to deliver justice without spiraling into chaos? Or has she found herself a more dangerous way for her bad luck to bring her to ruin?
